1997 Ruf R - 993 Turbo R ° Conversion by RUF

Porsche 993 Turbo X50 – RUF Turbo R Engine Conversion – 490 HP – Slate Grey Metallic

We are pleased to offer an exceptional Porsche 993 Turbo featuring the rare factory X50 Power Kit I and a fully documented engine conversion to Turbo R specification carried out by RUF Automobile.

The car was first registered in Germany on 14 March 1997 and, with a current mileage of 131,090 kilometres, benefits from a complete and fully traceable history.

From the factory, this 993 Turbo was already equipped with the highly desirable X50 Power Kit I, making it an especially powerful and rare version of the Porsche 993 Turbo even in its original specification.

All maintenance and servicing has been carried out either by authorised Porsche Centres or by RUF Automobile in Pfaffenhausen. The car has very recently received a fresh service at Porsche Zentrum Bonn and is therefore presented in correspondingly excellent mechanical condition, fully serviced and ready to be enjoyed immediately.

In 2003, the Porsche was registered to RUF Automobile GmbH, where it underwent extensive technical modifications. The engine was converted to the specification of the legendary RUF Turbo R, increasing output to an impressive 490 HP.

The resulting performance figures are remarkable: a top speed of 328 km/h and acceleration from 0 to 100 km/h in just 3.7 seconds. These figures placed the car's performance significantly above that of a standard Porsche 993 Turbo.

The interior was also modified by RUF and equipped, among other features, with sports bucket seats. The black full-leather interior combines the characteristic exclusivity of the Porsche 993 Turbo with the uncompromising sporting character of the RUF modifications.

A particular highlight is the rare and exceptionally elegant exterior colour, Slate Grey Metallic. It perfectly complements the timeless design of the 993 Turbo and emphasises the car's understated yet powerful appearance.

Today, the Porsche presents in outstanding overall condition. The bodywork remains almost entirely in its original factory paint and is free from any significant damage. The interior is equally impressive and has been exceptionally well preserved.

All invoices relating to the car have been retained since the RUF conversion. In addition, the vehicle comes with its fully stamped service book as well as the complete original owner's wallet and accompanying documentation. This extensive history file confirms both the continuous high-quality maintenance and the exceptional provenance of this remarkable Porsche.

This Porsche 993 Turbo combines numerous characteristics that distinguish it clearly from ordinary examples of the model: German first delivery, the rare factory X50 Power Kit I, an exceptional exterior colour, almost entirely original factory paint, a complete maintenance history, a recent service at Porsche Zentrum Bonn, extensive documentation, and, most importantly, the authentic Turbo R engine conversion carried out by RUF Automobile.

A rare opportunity to acquire one of the most fascinating air-cooled Porsche Turbos, combining genuine RUF history, exceptional factory specification and truly outstanding performance.
