YOU'RE RIGHT IT'S NO LONGER A PORSCHE IT IS NOW A RUF IT'S NOT THE FIRST TIME ENGINEER'S USED A PORSCHE BODY TO IN-PUT THEIR EXPERTISE THE PORSCHE BODY IS STRONG AERODYNAMIC ETC
On those days Porsche Factory almost ruined for being so expensive to built this cars, so now they still make them but with a lot more cheap plastics on and much more silent engines, this one is a good experience, no women car. And if you drive it fast, and manage to handle it in corners you are a real champ!
First ,there is NO 964 based BTR! Second ,there is NO 964 from 1988 ,the 964 series was launched in '89 and the Turbo version saw daylight in '90.
I checked RUF's pdf catalogs for the 964 series and there was not even a BTR kit for it ,964 RUF based where called RCT and the only option was for the 1993 version of the 3.6l which brought it to 425bhp.
Now this might be a RUF but it's not entirely genuine.
The correct way to say the last name of Alois (Luis) Ruf is pronounced ROOF. And the BTR was tested by Road and Track in 1984 and it embarassed all others the day it was tested. Sure this thing is even faster and if it is the Yellow Bird engine then it is a CTR not a BTR.
I like how sometimes the salesman said roof (correct) then ruf. I get it wrong all the time. I got a 993 ruf btr2 with (only) 420 horse. It is plenty fast for me but this thing sounds mental! Love that cam lope and turbo whine. This thing is ready to swap ends and make you pray to the car gods you don't rag doll it at the next round about...excellent vid!!!
maintainance nightmare...

Reminds me of that Ruf Weiber Reise (please excuse any typos, I don't speak German) I had seen on a mag many many years ago.
A childhood dream.

Actually an easy to maintain supercar.
It is worth the investment to have a 200 MPH/9 second quarter mile/car for under $50,000 delivered.

$50,000 for a 964 Ruf with 600+ horsepower? You cant find a vanilla turbo for that price. If I had the cash I'd scoop it up in an instant.
