Description
The arrival of the BTR marked the beginning of RUF’s global reputation, establishing it as the most highly regarded of Porsche tuning firms.
The BTR was inspired by the FIA Group B regulation, using the 930 Turbo body and 935-sourced engine internals as a basis with which to produce a 375-horsepower, 190-mph sports car that was then successfully tested by journalists against the fastest contemporary models from Ferrari, Lamborghini, and Porsche.
Widely regarded as the fastest-accelerating road car in the world during production, the BTR was consistently revised until 1993 with performance modifications running from their earliest "BTR I" offerings to the latest and most extreme, the "BTR III." These BTR III revisions extended the relevance of the model by allowing BTR customers to evolve their cars to keep pace with the fastest supercars of the mid-1990s, as well as newer offerings from RUF themselves.
