Ruf RCT
car model
The Ruf RCT is a sports car manufactured by German automobile manufacturer Ruf Automobile. This car is based on the Porsche 911.
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.

Why this record matters
The phrase “car model” supplies a clear boundary for inquiry. It also exposes the unanswered questions: who defined that boundary, when it became stable and which sources sit outside it.
Named sources, stable identifiers and responsible institutions provide the strongest route from overview to verifiable evidence. The source revision retrieved here is dated Sep 6, 2026. The linked authority identifier is Q97323830. None of the 0 selected statements returned an explicit reference. The first chronological checks are 1992.
A concise general-reference account can conceal disagreements about scope, terminology or the weight assigned to individual sources. The lead is largely declarative, so disagreement and counter-evidence require a deliberate search beyond the opening account. Authority statements aid reconciliation but still require their own references, qualifiers and ranks to be checked.
