Porsche Cayman tuning: StudioTorino RK Coupe pays homage to the classics

StudioTorino has unveiled its new baby: the RK Coupe. Based on the current Porsche Cayman coupe, the RK is inspired by the Dino 246 GT and the Porsche 904 legendary coupes and is motivated by RUF's 3.8-liter Kompressor monster.







The engine is a supercharged flat-six, 24-valve powerplant, mated with a pair of water-cooled intercoolers and a centrifugal turbocharger with planetary gearbox. The engine produces 435 hp @ 7,000 rpm and features a peak torque of 347 lb-ft (470 Nm) at 5,000 rpm.

That's good enough to provide the RK Coupe with a top speed of 304 km/h (195 mph) and zero to 62 mph acceleration of about 4.3 seconds. Not bad.

As you can see, the coupe looks absolutely stunning, surpassing even the Cayman, which is itself a piece of automotive art. The most interesting is that the body of the original vehicle was completely overhauled -- only the left front fender has somehow managed to escape the hands of the Italian designers.

The GermanCarBlog is reporting that StudioTorino plans to build only 49 RKs, setting a price tag of impressive €310,000.
