RUF presents the RCT, short for RUF Carrera Turbo, as the core basis of its conversion programme, transforming Porsche 964 Carreras, into what can only be described as the ultimate daily drivable 964. Alois Ruf himself describes the RCT as the most usable everyday model in the RUF lineup.

Like the majority of RCTs, this particular example began life as a Porsche 911 Carrera, specifically a two wheel drive example ordered in late 1990. It was ordered new by its one and only owner, a Heidelberg based doctor with obvious taste, who specified the car in gorgeous and now highly desirable Nachtblaue Metallic, also known as Midnight Blue, over a grey ruffled leather interior. Options included a limited slip differential, and an electric sliding sunroof.

The doctor took delivery of the car in June 1991, collecting it from Porsche Stuttgart. He continued to service and maintain the car at the supplying dealership until 1999, when he commissioned RUF to carry out a full RCT conversion. The work included the following upgrades:

RUF RCT engine conversion with 370 hp
RUF 6 speed G50/20 gearbox
RUF airbag steering wheel
RUF instrument set
RUF Speedline 18 inch wheel set
RUF exhaust tips
RUF front spoiler lip
964 Turbo rear spoiler

Since the conversion, the car has travelled only 58, 200 km. RUF continued to service and maintain the car for the majority of its life, with only a few exceptions where servicing was carried out by Porsche Centres and specialist workshops.

Now offered for sale, the car is accompanied by a comprehensive history file, including the original order form, the 1990 purchase invoice, the 1999 RUF conversion invoice, the official RUF build certificate, German registration papers, and every major service record.

From the moment you approach the car, its unique character is undeniable. Start the engine, and that sense of occasion deepens. The distinctive and exhilarating sound truly sets it apart from any other 964, or Porsche for that matter. On a twisty country road, it is a car that can effortlessly keep pace with Stuttgart’s latest offerings.
