The BTR marked the beginning of RUF as a manufacturer in its own
right, establishing itself as the most highly regarded of all the
Porsche tuning companies. The BTR was inspired by the FIA Group B
regulations of the time, utilizing a 930 Turbo as a basis to
compete with the fastest products from Ferrari, Lamborghini and
Porsche itself. The BTR was routinely regarded as the fastest
accelerating road car at the time.
The BTR utilized a 930 turbo engine bored to 3.4 liters and then
fitted with Mahle pistons, RUF 935-type camshafts, RUF intercooler
and a larger KKK turbo. This resulted in a power output of 374 bhp.
Various other modifications to the car included enhancements to the
body and interior, RUF sport steering wheel, RUF gauges, RUF
suspension, RUF specific 17-inch wheels, RUF front spoiler with
oil-cooler, Fog lights, RUF quad-pipe sport muffler, and a RUF
five-speed gearbox. This particular BTR is equipped with the
G50/50, only available for the 1989 model year 911 Turbo.

Automobile for a full BTR conversion. Options on the car include
Sunroof, Heated sport seats and all RUF fittings as stated above.
