The article discusses the Silicon Controlled Rectifier (SCR), an old semiconductor device from the 1950s that acts as a latching electronic switch, now largely replaced by modern components like TRIACs and MOSFETs, but still found in vintage schematics and applications.
RUF has delivered the first RUF SCR, a high-performance sports car, to its owner in the United States. The SCR is built on RUF's in-house engineered carbon fiber monocoque chassis and features a naturally-aspirated, handbuilt Mezger-derived engine. With a weight of 2,756 pounds and a claimed 0-100 km/h time of 3.4 seconds, the SCR is a track-focused beast. Priced at over $1 million, all 70 build slots for the SCR have already been allocated. RUF North America provides importation, service, and parts for RUF vehicles in the United States.
