The Ruf Dakara is a mid-size luxury crossover SUV based on the Porsche Cayenne and produced by German automobile manufacturer Ruf Automobile. The Dakara debuted at the Geneva Motor Show in 2009 with a base price of approximately $327,853 (€230,454).
The Dakara is powered by a modified version of the Cayenne Turbo S's V8 engine that produces 591 hp (441 kW; 599 PS) and 656 lb⋅ft (889 N⋅m) of torque, up from 550 hp (410 kW; 558 PS) and 553 lb⋅ft (750 N⋅m) of torque in the stock Cayenne Turbo S. Ruf says this allows the Dakara to accelerate from 0–60 mph (0–97 km/h) in 4.8 seconds; 0.1 seconds slower than a stock Cayenne Turbo S.[1] It also has re-tuned suspension as well as optional ceramic composite brakes.
