Porsche RUF Turbo R

Porsche RUF Turbo R

Coupé, 1996

Highlights

  • Turbo R
  • Manual Transmission
  • All Wheel Drive

At its core is a 3.6-liter twin-turbocharged flat-six, delivering performance well beyond factory 993 Turbo output. RUF’s enhancements—centered around upgraded turbocharging, fueling, and engine calibration—result in exceptionally strong acceleration and high-speed capability, with period performance rivaling contemporary supercars. Power is sent through a 6-speed manual transmission to an all-wheel-drive system, offering both traction and driver engagement. Supporting upgrades include RUF-tuned suspension, engineered to improve stability, handling precision, and high-speed composure in line with RUF’s autobahn-focused development philosophy.

The exterior is defined by its RUF widebody conversion, designed to enhance both aerodynamics and cooling. Completely refinished in White, the car features a RUF-designed front bumper, fixed “whale tail” rear spoiler, and black Turbo R badging. It rides on 19-inch RUF 5-spoke wheels with blue painted brake calipers, while dual RUF-engraved chrome exhaust tips provide a subtle but distinctive signature. The overall presentation remains true to period Turbo R styling, emphasizing both function and presence.

The vehicle in detail

Inside, the cabin is finished in blue leather and suede with white stitching, reflecting RUF’s balance of performance and craftsmanship. RUF-embroidered sport bucket seats, a blue suede headliner, and RUF floor mats create a cohesive and highly individualized interior. Additional details include a leather-wrapped steering wheel with RUF logo etching, stainless steel RUF sill plates, and an analog gauge cluster with signature green RUF lighting. Amenities such as air conditioning, power windows, an electric sunroof, and a Continental head unit maintain usability while preserving the car’s period-correct character.

Accompanying the sale is one key. With its full Turbo R conversion by RUF Bahrain, air-cooled twin-turbo performance, and limited production significance, this 1996 RUF Turbo R represents a compelling opportunity for collectors seeking a manufacturer-built alternative to Porsche’s factory turbocharged offerings from the 993 era.
