    Has anyone seen a customer car of this? I've only seen the Geneva car reviewed (the blue one with PDK), but apparently that 991 Targa Turbo can come with a manual transmission option. I'm curious as to what it costs and what the manual 991 Turbo would feel like driving. Thanks for any input.

    I love the rear intakes and how they're blended into the fenders and the ducktail looks fantastic imo.

    Here's the Top Gear article and some additional photos: RUF Turbo Florio Review: Targa Flourish

    You can also opt it for RWD in addition to a manual gearbox so it sounds closer to a GT2 Targa. Yes!!! :)

    factory 991 Targa, is available with manual transmission or PDK, manual 7 speed was no cost option transmission ... all wheel drive is standard with NO option to delete ( unless recently revised for '17) ... had mine for a year, all wheel drive is fantastic, along with a few other options, the capabilities of the car are significantly increased over rear wheel drive only... "don't knock it, if you haven't tried it" ( extensively ) Porsche changed my mind about the PDK and all wheel drive... ( even the Porsche team drivers say the car performance is increased...) there is a lot more shifting with the current 7-8 speed manual transmissions, the DCT make life easier and faster... even the RUF test article concedes that all wheel drive and DCT would be the preferred setup, while thinking that manual with rear wheel drive only would be a handful

    Got a reply from Ruf. Base price for a RUF Turbo Florio:

    with rear wheel drive and 7-speed double clutch gearbox: € 289,575.00
    with all wheel drive and 7-speed double clutch gearbox: € 254,875.00

    Tons of options. See attached specs sheet. I think I have a new car goal. :)
