Porsche RUF RCT

The vehicle in detail

As with many RUFs, the engine is the star of the RCT. A turbocharged 3.6 liter boxer engine with intercooling delivers 370 hp and an impressive torque of 536 Newton meters. A manual gearbox modified by RUF to six gears transfers the power to the road via 18-inch RUF Speedline wheels. In addition to the engine, the brakes, suspension and aerodynamics have also been improved - all a must for the speeds that the RCT can reach. After the visit to RUF in 1999, a top speed of 302 kph was recorded on the vehicle registration document. That is 42 kph more than the base vehicle, the Carrera 2, was capable of. In order to reach such speeds and still be able to drive with a certain level of noise comfort, strips were glued into the rain gutters on the A-pillar to provide less of a surface for the wind to attack. The exterior mirrors were also fitted with a reinforced base.

As with all RUFs, production of the RCT was limited to a very short period before the BTR2 appeared for the 993 model. For the 964 Carrera, however, Alois Ruf offered an extended RCT conversion phase, which was extended into the late 1990s. According to the original order confirmation from 1990, this 911 was ordered by Dr. Stoll in midnight blue metallic with a grey leather interior.

Further equipment details include a limited slip differential, heated seats for the driver and front passenger and an electric sunroof. After eight years of regular maintenance at the service center, the car then went to RUF for an "RCT engine conversion" according to the documents. The RUF instrument set with zeroed speedometer was also installed.

According to the conversion confirmation, the car still received

• the 370 hp RCT engine
• a six-speed gearbox G50/20
• an RUF airbag steering wheel
• the RUF instrument set
• 18-inch RUF Speedline wheels
• RUF tailpipes
• RUF front spoiler lip
• Turbo rear wing

From a standing start, 100 kph was reached in 4.5 seconds. RUF also modified the suspension and brakes for such a performance increase. Of course, the RCT was regularly serviced at RUF, the PZ and Eleven Classics even after the conversion under the care of Dr. Stoll. In 2021, the car received a thorough inspection by the RUF team in Pfaffenhausen, which, according to the two invoices from October 2021, amounted to a total of eight pages and 9,500 euros in work carried out.

The very extensive vehicle file includes the well-stamped, original service book, the RUF conversion confirmation, the original Porsche order confirmation and invoice, old vehicle registration documents and receipts and many other invoices and receipts. The vehicle received its last thorough inspection/annual maintenance at Porsche in Papendorf approx. 100 km ago in 2022.

Vehicles with RUF conversions of any kind rarely come onto the market. This RCT built in the 90s is your opportunity to get such a well-maintained and well-documented example.
