Remember that time when a certain game company had the rights to the Porsche license and so other game companies resorted to RUF as a result? That's not to say RUF is an inadequate substitute, oh no. In fact, their cars can and have outperformed their Porsche counterparts in real life, even going so far as to set a world speed record for a production car at one point. The RUF 3400S shown here is not that world-record-setting machine, unfortunately. Sure, it may look like your average Porsche Boxster at first, but then you realise that it basically has a Porsche 911's engine. That, along with other enhanced components, makes this car a truly sporty convertible, at least for its time.

[Description (based in-game)]
While many knowledgeable car enthusiasts are quick to lump RUF Automobile into the "tuner" category, the truth is that the Porsche-based machines developed by master automotive craftsman Alois Ruf in his native Deutschland are certified as coming from a full-bore automobile manufacturer.

Regardless of which side of the debate you may stand, there's no denying that the 3400S is an infinitely more refined machine than the stock Porsche Boxster.

RUF technicians performed a heart transplant by substituting the capable stock Boxster powerplant with a RUF-massaged 3.4-liter flat-6 sourced from the roadster's big brother, the Porsche 911, that made 228 kW at 6800 rpm and peak torque of 359.6 Nm at 4750 rpm, thanks to the engine's high 11.3:1 compression ratio and dual RUF Performance System exhaust.

The company then performed a full-tilt handling upgrade with the addition of a RUF Sports System package that includes upgrade suspension, along with ventilated discs at all corners employing new monoblock 4-piston brake calipers up front and stylish new 5-spoke 18-inch wheels shod with Pirelli P Zero Asimetrico tires that featured a wide footprint of 255/40ZR-18s at the bow, 265/35ZR-18s at the stern.

This RUF's aesthetics take a further departure from Porsche's Boxster thanks to attractive optional exterior features including a front spoiler, side skirts and aerodynamically enhanced side mirrors.
