Records from RUF indicate the car was built from a bare shell in 1984, and it features Turbo-style flared fenders with rear leading-edge guards, a single-piece front bumper cover with an integrated cooler, US-specification headlights, and a tea tray rear spoiler. The black soft top is shown in its raised position above.
Staggered-width 16″ Fuchs wheels feature grey centers and are wrapped in Goodyear Eagle F1 tires. The suspension was reportedly modified by RUF, and the braking system was overhauled in 2018 with rebuilt Turbo calipers mounted over replacement cross-drilled and vented rotors.
Red leather covers the dashboard, door panels, center console, and Recaro LS front seats. Additional equipment includes power windows, floor mats, and an Alpine stereo. An adjustable wastegate knob is mounted between the seats and allows the boost pressure to be adjusted by the driver. The selling dealer states there is a leak in the R134a air-conditioning system, and a Clifford alarm pad is mounted next to the ignition.
The steering wheel is accented by a center cover with a debossed RUF logo, and it frames instrumentation including a 180-mph speedometer, a tachometer with an inset boost gauge, and a separate boost-pressure gauge in place of the clock to the right. The six-digit odometer shows 46k miles, and the true mileage is unknown.
The turbocharged 3.3L flat-six features an adjustable wastegate and an intercooler, and it is paired with a RUF-modified five-speed manual transaxle with a dogleg shift pattern. In November 2018, Vertex Auto of Miami, Florida removed the engine and transaxle for a top-end reseal along with replacement of the spark plugs, motor mounts, oil lines, fuel pumps, and filters and fluids. An oil change was performed in anticipation of the sale.
