About the car:

What we have here is a Porsche that is a paint to sample one of one which originally was $133k combined with about over $100k in receipts. This car is a no holds barred monster. It is a teleportation machine. You lean into throttle at around 2500 RPM and you hear the instant whistles of the hybrid turbos and suddenly the sea of power transports you to a different place and time regardless of what gear you are in. There is no less than 494 AWHP and 580 AWTQ available at your command on 91 octane (extensive dyno graphing included). The car is a monster just like a 997.2 GT2 RS would be but with AWD. This car is made for the track. The transmission is built and bulletproof, as is the motor with welded coolant fittings, large GT2 RS intercoolers, Moton adjustables and every upgraded suspension component known to man.
This car will destroy most street and track cars for a fraction of what it would take to reproduce. Priced to sell only to someone who recognized how well appointed this car is.

Price reduced to $89K. PM me or email me at newnode@mac.com to arrange a showing / PPI / Shipping.

2002 911 Turbo

Thanks Parn. I hear you. I'd hate to see you miss out on this one You could always remove some of the parts to recoup part of the purchase price. Everything on the car is top shelf.

All, I received a request for a walk around so I took one in the most non-complimentary neon lighting in my garage to show just how amazing the quality of the paint (fully protected by clear bra) is. This video also shows how the car now sits with a brand new set of RUF 19's vs the previous photos with the champions.

*Please excuse my garage mess

Beautiful car!! You're right...I was prepared to not like the wood trim but it really looks nice and provides a great contrast.

How many owners? Did you do all the upgrades or a previous owner?

First owner was in El Dorado Hills CA (factory custom order), second owner bought the car stock with full clear bra from new and put most of the big dollar upgrades on. I'm the third, have owned the car for a year, and have added all of the RUF goods.

Great looking car. I've been looking at it along with other RUF's for some time and blue happens to be my favorite color. I am in the market for one. I am somewhat confused about the R Turbo and RUF emblems. Was this car converted by RUF into a R Turbo, motor wise?? Was any work done by RUF in Europe or Texas?
Thanks

Right from RUF...

There are two types of RUF's...

1) A RUF vin car that was created by RUF from a body in white that never had a Porsche vin. These are the true RTurbo's (996 generation). In fact, there is one for sale on PCA.org for $150k. Here is the link... https://www.pca.org/classified-ad/303862

2) every other non-vin Porsche with RUF parts. Mine falls into this category. I sourced all the parts (with receipts) form RUF Auto US prior to them closing their doors

My car's description has a full breakdown of the source of all parts etc. I am the biggest 996 RUF variant fan out there so feel free to PM me if you'd like to discuss my car further.
