This is the 550 BHP, four-wheel-drive RUF R Turbo featured on the front cover of the Marc Bongers ‘Porsche and RUF Sportscars’ book which fortunately for us now resides in the UK and enjoyed by its current owner. This rare R Turbo was also the star of a RUF promotional press film made at the Nurburgring in the early 2000’s. Just love the Blossom Yellow paintwork! #ruf #rufautomobile #rufsince1939 #rturbo #turbo #yellowbird #rufgekuhlt #rufgekuhltuk (at United Kingdom) https://www.instagram.com/p/B_0ZN3oJ9jl/?igshid=ztxiaxjspsf5
Did you know the original legendary RUF CTR was actually finished in Guards Red? The car was re-painted in Blossom Yellow the day before the Road & Track speed test that established the ‘Yellowbird’ as the fastest car in the world! #ruf #rufautomobile #rufautomobileuk #rufsince1939 #yellowbird #ctr #guardsred #blossomyellow #classiccars #porsche #rufgekuhlt #rufgekuhltuk #200mphclub (at United Kingdom) https://www.instagram.com/p/B_cep1vpZfz/?igshid=wfxky92a9nwm

A question was asked about what sets the Ruf BTR apart from a Porsche 930 Turbo. The answer lies in the genius of Alois Ruf and the artisans at Ruf Gmbh. The BTR was made from 83-89. Porsche supplied body shells to Ruf for around 20-30 cars that were built from ground up to Ruf specs and with their own unique Ruf VIN number. The Ruf VIN number begins with “W09” while Porsche VIN cars begin with “WP0”. In addition to the 20-30 VIN# BTR made from 83-89, there were also conversions done to existing porsche cars and subsequent BTR2 and 993 based BTR’s made. The standard Porsche 930 turbo in its final configuration made about 282hp, compared to the 400+hp in the BTR. This was achieved by a bigger turbo, revised intercooler, twin plug ignition, ruf ECU/engine management and bore being increased to 3.4L up from 3.3L. The BTR also featured twin exhaust outlets, ruf instruments , recaro seats , full rollcage, optional 935 racing mirrors, 17inch ruf 5 spoke alloy wheels, ruf steering wheel and revised front spoiler with oil cooler. The suspension was stiffened and bigger brakes were added. Weight was also culled and the car was lighter than a Porsche 930 Turbo. The net result was a car that topped out at 190mph and could do 0-60 in 4.2s ! In 1984, Road and Track did a feature on “The Fastest Car in America” and the Ruf BTR won by 10 mph and vastly superior acceleration times. Amazingly, 3 years later they held the same competition and the same BTR showed up with 211k miles on the odometer. While not officially included in the test, it was nonetheless faster than the 288GTO tested and a Countach QV, as well as beating an AMG Hammer and Ferrari Testarossa amongst others. The only cars to beat it were a Ruf CTR, a Porsche 959 and a Koenig modified 911 Turbo tuned by RS Tuning. The car pictured was one of handful of VIN# ruf BTR made in 1986 and is just fresh off a complete restoration at Ruf Automobile Pfaffenhausen @rufsince1939 ….34 years after first leaving there ! #BTR #rufBTR #rufbtr #ruf #rufautomobile #pfaffenhausen #aloisruf #ameliaislandconcours #w09cars #rufgekuhlt (at United States of America) https://www.instagram.com/p/B-1XnglpAXr/?igshid=16plx2k9eiplv
