Porsche 996 Turbo WLS | RUF R-Turbo 550
A classic in original condition with a verifiable history
Some dreams remain untouched by time. This Porsche 996 Turbo, enhanced by RUF’s performance upgrade to 550 PS, is one such dream in its original condition. Owned by a second owner since 2006, featuring its original paintwork throughout and without any repainting, this vehicle is an impressive example of authentic Porsche engineering.
Complete documentation:
The vehicle’s history includes not only the original purchase contract from the Porsche Center Kaiserslautern for €151,877.14 dated May 3, 2002, but also the invoice from RUF Automobile for the conversion to the R-Turbo 550 with a total value of €27,964.75. In addition, maintenance invoices and the service booklet, meticulously maintained by the Porsche Center, are available. These documents make the vehicle an absolute highlight for collectors—not only from a technical standpoint but also in terms of its documentation.
Carefully preserved and now brought back to life:
Carefully maintained at the Porsche Center for years and then gently stored for a decade, this car has now been extensively restored to working order. A major service (including complete brake overhaul, new tires, all fluids, oils, and belts, A/C service, windshield, and heat-resistant coating on the exhaust system) brings it back onto the road—ready for the next chapter of its history.

A true classic for connoisseurs:
This Turbo is more than just a sports car—it’s a true testament to its era. The combination of documented history, original paint, low mileage (only 68,000 km), never driven in winter, RUF performance, and excellent condition makes it a rare collector’s item.
