In a recent article on Hagerty, automotive writer Nik Berg spotlighted what he described as a “true unicorn” of the collector car world – the 1994 RUF Carrera Turbo built on the 964 Carrera RS platform.
What Makes This 1994 RUF Carrera Turbo One of a Kind?
Nik Berg explains the difference between the standard RUF and this example in Hagerty.
“The regular RUF RCT was made between 1992 and 1997 based on the Carrera 2 or 4, but fitted with the firm’s own 3.6-liter turbocharged and intercooled flat six boosting power to 370 hp. Also installed was RUF’s six-speed transaxle and a bespoke exhaust.
In 1994 RUF tried something even more special, building just one RCT from a 964 RS donor car. Starting with a more rigid seam-welded body, aluminum hood, rolled fenders and thinner window glass meant that this RCT was the lightest of the lot. It eschewed electric windows, air conditioning and rear seats in the quest to save weight.”
The collector vehicle is finished in Polar Silver Metallic with black leather and tartan plaid cloth upholstery interior. It features faux fog lights, side marker lamps, blue-lens reverse lights, and an RCT-branded decklid with a whale-tail spoiler.
The 1994 RUF Carrera Turbo is now live on Bring A Trailer with WOB Cars managing the auction.
