Fantastic. One of the best 993 Turbos on the forum as far as I'm concerned.

Could I ask about the engine ? CTR2s came with a 520 set up I recall ? Leon S develped a 580hp set up with Ruf around 2005 which he used to great effect in his aero TurboR at various vmax events in the UK. I am presuming that your engine got the 580 package as part of the overhaul ? Can you give some details ? K24/26 internal wastegate ? Motronic boost control ? Level of boost at peak torque ? level of boost at peak power? cams ? sealing rings ? twin plug (don't think Ruf do twin plig?) ? An engine dyno sheet would be icing on the cake ?

Again, thanks for sharing and enjoy in best of health

Hello ! Its definitely 580+hp spec. They are finalizing a history and spec portfolio on the car for me and I'll post the details when I get it. Most of the CTR2's were upgraded to 580hp when they went back to Ruf for service.

Craftsmanship and innovation - superb. The color reminds me of one of the Terminator movies - liquid metal for sure. Enjoy in great health and thanks for sharing.
