- The car’s 3.6-liter turbocharged flat-six now pumps out 425 hp and 420 lb-ft.
- Other upgrades include beefed-up Brembo brakes and Bilstein coilovers.
- Gorgeous tan-colored leather adorns much of the special RCT’s interior.
Sports cars don’t get much better than classic Porsche 911s, but this example from RUF is perhaps one of the rare exceptions. Based on a 1991 911 Carrera 2, it was transformed into a RUF RCT in Canada before being imported into the United States. Bidding on it has already exceeded the price of a new limited-run 911 S/C, and for good reason.
The modifications made by RUF are comprehensive. For starters, the car has been resprayed in Linden Green and sits on distinctive 18-inch wheels wrapped in Michelin Pilot Sport All Season 4 tires. It also rocks a lightweight aluminum hood, new front and rear bumpers, and a bulbous engine cover and rear spoiler.

RUF has worked its magic on the engine, too. The 3.6-liter turbocharged flat-six delivers 425 hp and 420 lb-ft (569 Nm) of torque and is routed to the rear wheels through a five-speed manual transmission. With much more power than standard, it only makes sense for the car to also rock new brakes. These include beefed-up Brembo calipers sitting over cross-drilled and ventilated rotors.
The RCT also promises to handle much better than its former self thanks to adjustable Bilstein coilovers fitted at the front and rear. The car’s cabin is also rather special and includes new bucket seats trimmed in tan-colored leather. There’s also a Porsche Classic head unit, new door panels, a three-spoke RUF steering wheel, aluminum pedals, and a short shifter.
The listing on Bring a Trailer notes the car was damaged in November 2016 and also in March 2019, well before RUF got its hands on it. However, this shouldn’t dissuade any tempted buyers from placing a bid, as it now looks absolutely pristine and would be right at home in even the most illustrious of collections.
