The car has a top speed of 225 km/h (140 mph)[4] and was capable of producing 150 kW (204 PS; 201 hp) of power and 479 lb⋅ft (649 N⋅m) of torque.

[1] Estimated range per charge was 250–320 km (155–199 mi), depending on performance level, using iron-phosphate, lithium-ion batteries built by Axeon plc of Great Britain.

[5] During coasting the engine works as a generator producing electricity to charge the batteries.

[1] Ruf engaged Calmotors[6] in Camarillo, California, specialized in the implementation of hybrid electric and electric only powertrain design, to combine the latest generation of lithium-ion batteries with its motor.

[1] This did not happen, and at the 2009 Geneva Motor Show, Ruf announced a new model, the eRUF Greenster, with limited production planned to commence at the end of 2010.
