RUF RCT

The vehicle in detail

This particular example began life as a factory RUF build completed in May 1994 before later returning to Pfaffenhausen for conversion to full EVO specification in 2020. The car underwent disassembly to the bare chassis, ice blasting, technical inspection, and reassembly. Structural modifications included an integrated leather-trimmed roll cage, rain gutter removal, and sunroof deletion. Additional upgrades included a rebuilt transmission, Bilstein sport suspension, RUF braking components, revised aerodynamics, lightweight interior appointments, and freshly refinished RUF 18-inch wheels. Documentation indicates that over $60,000 was invested in upgrading the car to EVO specification alone.

Finished in Connaught Green, the car presents with an understated specification that contrasts with the aggression of the EVO widebody architecture. Lightweight sport seats, revised trim, and a Porsche Classic radio maintain period correctness while subtly modernizing usability.

Factory-built W09 VIN RUF automobiles occupy a unique category within the collector car market, recognized as standalone manufacturer-built vehicles rather than aftermarket conversions. Combined with its documented EVO conversion, low mileage, and extensive factory-supported recommissioning, this RCT EVO represents a particularly rare opportunity for collectors to acquire something truly significant within the air-cooled performance landscape.
