Default RUF RCT EVO information wanted

I am seeking information on RUF RCT Evo. The plan was to sell my 964, but I like the car so much that I am getting second thoughts. Was aiming for a 993 TT, but are now considering doing a RUF RCT Evo conversion of my 964.

So any links, pictures, information would be highly appreciated.

I looked at that option as well and the price started getting too crazy w/the rebuild needed + all the upgrade, shipping, etc. etc....I've got an old estimate from Ruf in Germany if you want it. Anyway, I decided to put a 993TT engine in my 964 w/a 993 LSD 6-speed. Ended up being a much better platform than the Evo I drove. The 993 TT is just a better engine all around. I upgraded to the 16/24 hybrid turbos, ECU and 100 cell Cats...Thing is really REALLY fast. You can look at the posts here under thread titled "Hot Rod 964". There's a 964 Evo for sale here at Ruf USA right now for $90k...and its a converted car...I think that's a very optomistic price.

I have been in the one at Ruf twice and I can tell you it is scary fast. The price is steep but what you get is amazing.

I didn't think Ruf was doing these conversions anymore.

Yes, the Ruf is quite a nice pacakge. The single turbo gives you that old school kick in the back thrust. For $90k though there is a lot of other stuff out there that is, in my opinion, better and faster. Just as an fyi, I was offered a Ruf Evo...what I'd consider a club sport version w/matter roll cage and light bits and bobs for a bit south of $75k...that was a very cool car.

Could you please send me (birrol[at]sensewave.com) your old estimate for the conversion. My conversion is going to be preformed in Norway by RUF's local partner AutoTuning.

I'll dig it up. They would not have the conversion done anywhere but in Germany.

Here's what I got from them back in Jan '02. Plus another USD$4k-$5k to rebuild the engine as it had more than 60k miles on it. Then I had shipping to Germany and back plus the removal and install. I had talked to Louis about doing a video around it, but he was always so busy I could not get him tied down. If that had occured I probably would have done the conversion sending the entire car to Germany. The 993TT swap + 6-speed ended up being cheaper and is an absolutely fantastic package. I ended up w/roughly 440 extremely reliable HP to the crank. This platform can be expanded up to 500hp or so w/existing rods. Anyway, look at my price sheet from Ruf below.

Yes very optimistic and it has only the small breaks!!!

A friend sold a RCT Evo II that was an original factory Ruf on 964 RS base!
An absolut dream!!!





I didn´t take it, because i don´t want red! Now i´m very sad that i didn´t take it that time!

I plan a RCT Evo II conversion on my car too but it ended up in 100K Euro complete and so i make now a turbo conversion by another tuner in Germany but someday i will order my dream RCT Evo II by Alois!

These prices don´t be correct this time!

Ruf offer me the conversion 2006 with:

"Wir habe uns zur Technik Ihres 964 Umbaus auf RCT Evo.

- Motorumbau auf 425 PS beinhaltet Zylinderköpfe, Kolben, Zylinder, Turbo-System und Ladeluftkühler: Euro 27.000,- zzgl. Mwst (evtl. noch 5.000 – 6.000,- Euro zzgl. Mwst. für die Überholung des Kurbeltriebs)

- 6-Gang-Getriebe 993: Euro 8.500,- zzgl. Mwst


Die Preise verstehen sich inkl. Montage und Lackierung aber zzgl. Mwst."

In USD:

RCT Evo engine: ca. 35.000,00 USD (45.000,00 USD incl. crankcase open)
Transmission: ca. 11.000,00 USD

Greetings Christian

LA964RS,
Is your car a narrow body ?
If it is , did the mufflers etc all fit OK when the 993tt motor went in ?
