Hey guys just looking for some information about these two particular models offered by Ruf.

First off, are these two conversions still offered by Ruf?

What are the main differences between these two conversions?

Does anyone know how much each conversion would cost?

And lastly do you think Ruf will always offer these conversions or do you think eventually they will stop?

Thanks in advance guys.

 

Ruf still does conversions on 993's so I'd assume you'd have no prob getting your 996 converted. Theres some guys in the porsche present forum that could definitely give you some estimates on cost.

 

I'm actually curious about the 993Turbo not the 996, thank you for responding tho

 

CTR2 is RUF VIN only, not conversion. TurboR could be both. CTR2 no longer available, although if you buy a used/beat-up one, you can have RUF refurbish it for you. I know the TurboR engine conversion is available, but aero/gauges/wheels/seats and other stuff are kind of hit or miss. Available at certain times, not available at others. For instance, to my knowledge, the RUF 993 aerokit is not available at this time.

Since both cars are fully configurable based on customer's tastes, it's impossible to identify all the differences. However, the differences are similar to the difference between the new 997 conversion vs RUF VIN cars. Handbuilt, IRC, special colors, special interiors, optional equipment and bizarre requests only available on the VIN cars.

Costs all depend on how much equipment you want to change. They will eventually stop doing the conversions, just as they did with the BTRI, BTRII, BTRIII, RCT, RCT EVO, etc.

 

Whats the difference between the engine of the ctr2 and 993 Turbo R?

Thanks in advance

 

993 Turbo R conversion is definitely still available. I keep one of my cars at the Ruf Dallas location and see conversions going on all the time. They do Turbo R (993) and R Turbo (996) all the time. In fact, they just finished a Turbo R about 2 weeks ago. That conversion starts at around $30k but can go up significantly from there. Some will do bodywork, some will leave completely stock looking and all levels in between.

I don't know much about the CTR2, but the Turbo R motor has larger turbos, modified camshafts, new exhaust and remapped Bosch motronics. They quote 490hp for the Turbo R but it actually runs around 510hp. Trust me, it's STRONG and very driveable. They also can start with the motor from either a 993tt or a C4S.

 

There is a yellow CTR2 sport for sale in my area. 8300 miles $230k. I went to look at it yeaterday, it was sick.

 

The body of the CTR2 Sport is just ridiculous

 

 

Luis, where is the car located? Any chance it'd be available for a photoshoot?

 

Yep. I can set you up with the owners Alex. Send me a PM qith your #.

 

I doubt the CTR II would be available. I think they promised not to make any more.

The Turbo R (993) is a different story.

 

Here are some crappy cell phone pics of the Yellow CTR2 Sport that is for sale here in MN.

 

Awesome! Thanks Luis! I can't wait to see this at C&C!
