This particular Ruf as extremely low miles under 18k miles from new and was built around the mid 80's when Miami Vice was big and Slant-nose Turbo's were rare and exotic. This 1981 Turbo started life as a Coupe 3.3 Euro Turbo and was converted in the mid 80's. This Ruf BTR is in the condition as when it was built in 1985 and as it sits today. This Ruf was SOLD out of Ruf Automobile GmbH Pfaffenhausen Germany and Shipped to the USA to Messrs East Coast Exotic Cars of Stamford Connecticut on 7-23-1985 by the man himself Alois Ruf. {I have the signed Ruf documents with Alois Ruf signature}.

. Power increased from 300hp to 374hp. Top speed was 300km/hr. for the narrow body car and 280km/hr. for the Turbo body. Acceleration to 60mph was in less than 5 seconds; by reaching 62mph in 4.6 seconds and 100mph innless then 10 seconds a 3.4 Liter Turbo-Ruf became the fastest accelerating production car ever tested by Auto Motor und Sport. It reached 100mph in only 9.5 seconds. RUF had matched, or even bettered, the performance figures for Porsche’s own Group B Le Mans car!
RUF modified the standard Porsche 930 4 speed by adding a 5th gear with the help of Getrag-the top two ratios remained unchanged, and the lower 3 ratios were spread to cover the speed ranges formerly served by 2 gears. RUF also improved the shift linkage that was both lighter and more positive than the stock unit. The cars were lowered and the suspension was stiffened. RUF added an adjustable boost control in the cockpit, changed the steering wheel to a RUF item, and added a RUF tachometer and boost gauge.
