Background

The Ruf Turbo R, sometimes stylized as TurboR, is a sports car built by Ruf Automobile of Germany. It is based on the 993 generation Porsche 911 Turbo. It was introduced in 1998 after the discontinuation of the CTR2, since Ruf still wanted a supercar offering to be available, and so the Turbo R became the supercar offering from Ruf for the 1998 model year only. After 1998, Ruf continued to offer both partial and full Turbo R conversions for existing 911s well into the 2000s, but those cars retained the original Porsche VINs.
