1998 Ruf Turbo R Navigation
This 1998 RUF Turbo R wears a Porsche factory color of Blutorange over a black leather and fabric interior with lightweight bucket seats, rear-seat delete, and RUF Integrated Roll Cage. The 3,746cc Type M64/20 SOHC flat 6-cylinder engine has twin KKK turbochargers, Bosch Motronic Electronic Fuel Injection, and delivers 551 horsepower at 6,000 RPM. There is a six-speed manual transaxle, all-wheel drive, ventilated carbon ceramic disc brakes, and an independent adjustable suspension with coil springs.
This Turbo R was originally completed by RUF in 1998 and delivered to its first owner, Heinz-Jürgen Hartmann of Reiskirchen, Germany. It was later exported while under Swedish ownership. While in the care of a previous owner, it was returned to the RUF factory for extensive upgrades to its specification. The work performed by RUF in 2021 totaled €111,964. It received CTR2 bumpers with extra venting slats, larger 19-inch RUF five-spoke alloy wheels, a RUF Classic sound system, new carpeting, and recovered seats. The carbon ceramic brakes were installed, the engine output rose to 560 PS, and the suspension gained a Bilstein PSS10 adjustable coil-over setup. Upgrades to the engine brought it 551 hp and 510 lb-ft of torque (an increase of 61 and 42 over its original output).
