Powering the RUF Tribute is an all-new 3.6-liter six-cylinder twin-turbocharged engine, meticulously designed by Alois Ruf. With a robust 550 horsepower, the powerplant carries the air-cooled charm and soul into the modern age. The engine’s intricate design includes billet aluminum cylinder heads, four-cam three-valve technology with variable valve timing and lift, and dry-sump lubrication. Engine specs such as twin turbochargers and twin intercoolers, hydraulic valve adjustment, fly-by-wire throttle, and two-stage resonance induction ensure that the Tribute showcases modern engineering while retaining the classic charisma.
