RUF BTR-2

[bryn_p]

Morning all,

Was the BTR-2 a 964 or a 993 or both?

Does anyone have any pointers to websites on RUF cars from the past?

Or a list of RUF models based on the 964 perhaps?

Cheers,
Bryn.

Generally speaking the BTR is a single turbo Ruf engine. The first ones were based on the 911SC, and way back in the mid 80s (i forget when exactly) a Ruf BTR beat the 300kmh at VW test track, and was the first production car to do so.

There was a 964 BTR (3,8l), however this car is extremely rare. And not many were made as they werent much more powerful than the RCT and later the RCT EVO.

There is also a 993 BTR, which was ruf's take on the 993tt, before porsche released theirs. This was subsequently succeeded by the Turbo R (though I believe BTR conversions are still possible on standard carreras....but dont quote me on that.)


Hope this helps, I dont know of any sources on the net im afraid.

best,
adam
