The 2026 Ruf Tribute features a completely new air-cooled flat-six engine engineered and built by the famous Porsche 911 fiddler.
Ruf showed off the production version of the 2026 Tribute during Monterey Car Week.
The Tribute's body panels are entirely rendered in carbon fiber.
Impressively, the Tribute meets all Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standards and recently passed emissions testing.
The only transmission is a seven-speed manual.
The first Tributes, which are hand-built in Germany, will be delivered in 2026.
The aluminum 3.6-liter dry-sump engine makes 543 horsepower and 551 pound-feet of torque.
Underpinning the Tribute is a carbon-fiber tub with front and rear aluminum subframes.
Ruf's claimed curb weight of roughly 2800 pounds makes the Tribute lighter than a Carrera 2 we tested in 1990.
The Tribute starts at $1.7 million based on the current Euro-to-dollar exchange rate.
Ruf expects to build between 50 and 100 Tributes over the next five years.
