So sweet!! Congrats on an amazing car.

It's great to see people and enthusiasts still enjoying what RUF does to these 993's

I've enjoyed mine now for 7 or so years and after adding several other cars to the stable (CLK63 black series and Ferrari stradale), the RUF is still my all time favorite car... by a wide margin.

Enjoy in good health!

Your Turbo R came out truly amazing. I appreciate the interior the most. It was a bold and risk choice but it really paid off. Enjoy it!

Looks fantastic - congratulations

Could you give details of the engine ? Is it a 520hp K24 version ? standard intercooler ?
Suspension ? Full Ruf Bilsteins ? GT2/RS links ?

Do you know what it weighs ?

TB993tt, yes the engine is their latest spec, in fact on the engine dyno it produced far more than 520hp. standard intercooler, full ruf coilover suspension and gt2 front uprights/spindles. we also modified the front battery/spar battery tray in order to install a larger secondary oilcooler in the center vent of the front bumper; this way we gain cooling and do not lose aircon performance as the car will return to mexico in a few months.

Thanx, that looks pretty hefty, nice. Modified aluminum bumper and front tub, I guess the ruf bumpers/nose shape probably give more space there too.

I dont think the front bumper has been modified or changed in any way. my car is a ROW X50 turbo. (not any more)

Ruf bumper does have a large center opening that did mostly nothing on a turbo R now it does serve a purpose as in the ctr2.
