Porsche 930 tuning - RUF CTR look

 As some tuning companies does, renaming original cars to it's own name (Lorinser, Brabus etc) so RUF did in 80s. CTRs BTRs (Groub B turbo RUF) had not only tuned engines, but also lots of other parts replaced (bumpers, exhaust systems, turbos, intercoolers, wheels different air inlets etc.) and it's own VIN numbers. And of course no Porsche badges :) On the other hand, you can buy a RUF-tuned Porsche for 1/10 of RUF's price (f.e. 1997 RUF CTR2 Sport cost ~300 000$, when 1997 Porsche 993 RUF - only 40 000$) |

 Have a loosy car? Buy a damaged sportscar, take it's engine and put in your current box on the wheels! It is most common way to upgrade, without supercharging and old engine or buying a new, powerfull car. But when you put Mitsubishi's engine in a Porsche 911... It's a profanity. Unless you have no skills or money to rebuild original, damaged Porsche engine, or put in a new one. |
