The RUF Turbo R was built from 1998 to 2002.
The Coupe, the most traded version: RUF's Turbo R represents the Pfaffenhausen tuner's most refined interpretation of the 993-generation 911 Turbo. Built between 1998-2002, this wasn't just a modified Porsche—RUF's manufacturer status meant each car received its own VIN and comprehensive re-engineering. The heart was RUF's own twin-turbocharged flat-six producing around 490 horsepower, paired with their sophisticated all-wheel-drive system and six-speed manual transmission. Unlike the more extreme CTR models, the Turbo R balanced extreme performance with daily usability, featuring RUF's signature aero package and distinctive five-spoke wheels. Production was extremely limited, with fewer than 50 examples believed built across the four-year run. Today, these represent some of the most desirable RUF models, combining the last of the air-cooled era with RUF's legendary engineering prowess. Values have climbed significantly as collectors recognize the Turbo R as perhaps the ultimate expression of the 993 platform.
