Re: Orange
If you live where car culture is a big deal the color is fine. If you live in more subdued regions, it would be a joke for people when you drive by. Good color on the race track where everything is bright and glitzy (like retail auto store product packaging) for advertizing purposes. Where I lurk an orange Ford Focus would be a serious attention grabber.
but like MMD said, it would look cool on a racetrack, but off it... well that's another story!

WTF did they do with those seats
Looks like a small burberry print
I don't like the interior either, actually I don't really like the Ruf RT12 at all. The only thing that stands out are the intakes just like BCE997J said.
Hopefully there next project will be a lot better
Yeah I know! But you figure Ruf is trying to get us excited about the possibilities.
MY possibilities? They'd be like the last sets of designer drawings that got rejected and thrown away in the Porsche Design Department because some marketing/executive types got their way.
Re: Orange
Those seats are black and white houndstooth. This was a popular option on porsches from the 60's and early 70's (just like the tartan inserts were). I think it's great that a show car can look back at the good old days for some design influences. I don't kow if I would go for houndstooth myself, but it's cool that some people still remember it...

Re: Orange
As a designer and artist I can appreciate the look of those seats in the interior, it fits very well if you consider the artistic movement and feel they are trying to replicate. RUF has been known to do things like this, and I definitely think it is very unique.
That said I definitely understand why so many people don't like, and I would certainly never daily drive a car that had such a "high contrast" interior.

Hmmm, anytime now Ruf should be showing a car with velvet seats in the old "Pasha" checker pattern!
