Porsche RUF Turbo R

The world-class tuning house installed their coveted Turbo R Power Kit, transforming the already potent air-cooled 3.6-liter flat-six engine with new camshafts, upgraded RUF turbochargers, revised Bosch Motronic engine management programming, a larger oil cooler, and a bespoke exhaust system. These technical enhancements raised the engine’s output to an impressive 490 horsepower and 650 nm of torque, delivered to all four wheels through a precise six-speed manual transmission. The interior was further personalized to match the existing specification with custom Midnight Blue leather A-pillars, steering wheel, and shift knob, crafted and installed by RUF. The original invoice from RUF Automobile shows that the conversion totaled over 36,000 DM.

Comprehensive service invoices and a thoroughly stamped service booklet document that the car received regular maintenance within the Porsche dealer network and other specialist shops from 1995 to present. While in the long-term care of the current devoted owner (2006-present), this work included returning the turbochargers to RUF for in-house repairs, as documented by an invoice dated November 2006. Most recently, the car has undergone recent servicing at RUF Automobile in March 2025, with the odometer showing 100,350 kilometers. This service included the installation of four new Michelin Pilot Sport 2 tires, full fluids including oil, transmission, and brake fluid changes, and replacing numerous components including the boost pressure control valve, front axle coupling rods, and front-left axle cuff. The total investment in this recent service amounted to 8,273.24 €.

Now offered with 100,368 kilometers on the odometer—just 18 additional kilometers since its most recent service—this exceptional 993-generation 911 Turbo with RUF enhancements is offered with a collection of records and documentation, owner’s manuals, and toolkit. As one of the most sought-after variants of the final air-cooled 911, this well-maintained, RUF-modified 993 Turbo would make an excellent addition to any collection of timeless Porsches, especially one with an emphasis on highly usable examples primed for continued enjoyment.
