History
The RCT (abbreviation of "Ruf Carrera Turbo") came into production in 1992. At the time, the Ruf workshops had spare parts for the Porsche 964, Carrera 2, Carrera 4 and Carrera RS; the dismantling of these models resulted in components for the creation of the Ruf BTR III and BTR 3.8. To accommodate the turbocharger, several original parts had to be replaced. Alois Ruf Jr. used these parts for their turbo system, all installed in the chassis of the 964, which created the Ruf RCT. It offered performance similar to that of its predecessor, the BTR. The later model developed a similar design, the RCT EVO.
RCT EVO
The RCT EVO is a car that is similar to the original RCT. It was available in various versions such as narrow, wide, coupé, convertible, targa, rear-wheel drive, or all-wheel drive. The engine has a displacement of 3.8 liters. It has 425 horsepower of power at 5,800 rpm and 570 N m of torque at 4,800 rpm. == References ==
