MoreRoock Racing is an auto racing team based in Leverkusen, Germany that was highly successful in numerous sports car and endurance racing series during the 1990s. The team was founded in 1984 by brothers Fabian and Michael Roock.
In 1999, Fabian Roock created Roock Autosport, a tuning company specializing in water-cooled Porsches located in Atlanta, Georgia, North America.
In 2004, Roock Autosport released its Porsche RST 650, a custom Porsche 911 The RST's modified engine produced 650 hp at 6560 RPM and 620 lb.-ft of torque at 4960 RPM, putting it firmly among the world's fastest supercars at the time. Car and Driver reviewed the RST 650 in its April 2004 issue and gave the car high marks, saying "it's the kind of explosive ferocity you expect 650 horsepower to feel like. And in this case, the high-performance feel translated directly to the test track, where the Roock Porsche posted world-class supercar numbers."
In 2008, Roock announced its newest limited edition, tuner Porsches, the RST 600 LM and RST 650. The 600 LM was designed to commemorate Roock Racing's win at the 1996 24 Hours of Le Mans.
The RST 600 LM and RST 650 included upgraded turbochargers, titanium exhaust systems, and an upgraded ECU good for over 600 horsepower and at least 611 lb-ft torque. Performance numbers were a claimed 3.1 second sprint to 60 mph and a top end of 211 mph. Roock also added a carbon fiber clutch, expertly tuned suspension, and massive 380mm drilled and vented brakes. Inside, the RST's Roock RST got carbon fiber trim, oil and temperature gauges, and custom seats with four point harnesses. Finally, subtle exterior modifications were added including a new front splitter, rear diffuser, rear spoiler, and lightweight aluminum racing wheels.
