RUF BTR2 - A Drive on the Wild Side!

Matt takes a wild ride in his first Ruf, one of just three right-hand-drive BTR2s.
Today's subject and our first toe in the Ruf waters is the BTR2, a turbocharged monster based on the 993 Carrera, and before we go any further, we must thank Car Iconics whose unit is always packed with the most interesting machinery both modern and classic, and to be given the opportunity to drive something with such a combination of rarity, value and old-fashioned brute power on a cold, greasy December day is a slightly daunting but seriously exciting prospect.

I love the RUF’s thanks to Gran Turismo. Always had them in my collection!

[@tahirkhan-ob2vr]

First i ever heard off RUF Game ahead of its time GRAN TURISMO.

[@beardedgarage]

993 is the best example out there, and a RUF 993 is a dream. Gorgeous.

[@mcfreedom10]

The boy is back......long live Matty P Still love you Jonny Bonty

[@scd]

🤪😂👏

[@longtailgt]

That sound, though muted, is so savage and intoxicating!!

[@scd]

It’s just pure power!!!

[@BaruKz]

Like you said it's privilege to be part of the RUF family, they built true masterpieces. This just shows from a standard Carrera They transform it into a road going monster. Nice video 👌

[@davpkav1]

Been a fan of RUF for some years now.....Love their story and dedication.....Another excellent video Matt.....Loving the dynamic soundtrack too...!!! Really suits the topic of the video. I need a visit to see Daniel. What a motor....!!! 😎👏

[@car-iconics1]

You’re welcome anytime!

[@davpkav1]

As soon as the next round of enhancements is complete....I will be over...👌@@car-iconics1

[@m2_sco897]

What a thing that is, love a turbo 993 😍

[@MrNicolasBurylo]

A RUF is a Porschier Porsche... more sound, more power, more soul ....

[@WarrenSheehan]

What a car

[@scd]

Thanks for watching

[@kukeye]

Still love my early 80s Ruf 930s with the clock removed for a boost gauge and the big knob on the e brake to tighten up the waste gate spring. Dear God they came on like a freight train

[@lovecarsTV]

Lovely little video guys!

[@scd]

thanks very much!

[@hamishinglis493]

Yes, please.

[@scd]

You have fine taste

[@TheDoosh79]

Love old skool turbos, pin the throttle and wait for it to kick in then bam, you're off! I bet it is still savage at rolling acceleration on a good surface, timed through the gears I bet it could keep up with some modern stuff.

[@slobdog21]

That interior is in mint condition!

[@Engineerboy100]

Very fun, engaging, well made video! Thank you so much for posting :)

[@urs335i]

Yesss Grand Turismo !

[@minatormyth]

They are indeed beautiful monsters arnt they🥰 Thanks guys🤗

[@danielthomas5486]

Proper car

[@paullockwood7219]

Wonderful. 😁👌

[@-DC-]

My God what a wonderful machine 💖

[@KSL12]

That must be a hand full.

[@scd]

It is! But that’s what we crave from modern cars right?

[@Drifty325i]

Great video too! thanks guys

[@christianfloehr]

Just whow!! Love your Videos!!

[@allensaunders449]

At the price this must cost and with about the same hp. I would take a singer or a gunther werks car as a reimagined 911. I know its not exactly the same idea or donor car but i do see these 3 car builders together here

[@dtschlack]

Totally different class!

[@allensaunders449]

If the price point of this car is much lower then that's true no fair comparison i agree.

[@tomnutting3836]

As you mentioned the value, what sort of price is this commanding these days? Truly epic machine! Also anyone know if a man of 6’5/6 can fit in and drive the 993 generation? My life goal is a 993 turbo if I can fit...

[@scd]

It’s for sale for £225k. As you say a truly epic motor

[@aizazrehman5153]

This thing is RUF

[@ahemgee9542]

Savage

[@pope400]

And people think they need a Chiron to have fun. "Well, it's not as fast as a 2.4 seconds..." Most people haven't even felt 4 seconds and if they did they'd think that's fast as shit. There's so much unearned hype around hypercars when things like this will find the hair on your nuts.

[@scd]

Well said! Thanks for watching

[@Drifty325i]

Dam that’s nice

[@silverbullet1979]

If I remember correctly, in Gran Turismo this car is 4WD??? It's one of my fastest cars in the game...

[@theraggededgeonboardfastes8461]

From Monza: 96 CTR2: 1:58.179 - the Yellowbird: 1:58.919 - 996 RGT: More than 2 minutes...

[@jessetodd6039]

Jesus 😍😍

[@scd]

🏁🏁

[@zzhughesd]

Laggy turbo. Beaut

[@JasperM1972]

What a car. Does this one have the Ruf integrated rollcage or is it a standard Carrera shell?

[@scd]

Yep has the roll cage 💯 you know your stuff

[@stuartsmellie4966]

All Ruf have an integrated roll cage....one of the things that made me love them even more. It's the all round package for me.

[@BobSmith-ht4hv]

Tag f1, nice watch

[@Ramsi-Berlin]

It has no power steering ❔🤔

[@robro911]

Unassisted steering ! Are you sure ? It is a 993 after all.

[@regboss6237]

That would be a 97 or 98 as it on a R plate not 93.........

[@MJParker1804]

This one is a 98 but the model was released in 93 👍🏼

[@MrVrob8]

If you're to buy a Porsche and you want a turbo, do yourself a favour and get a RUF!

[@VanekLarson]

Getting famous off of comments day 224, so I can live the dream, live every day like it’s your last🤙🤙

[@rocketn8]

How many days before you realise that it's not working?
