RUF’s BTR2 Requires Some Respect
In 1993, production of the BTR2 began. As the second production car in RUF's lineup, it took its name from the G-body-based BTR unveiled a decade earlier. Due to a classic configuration draped in modern skin, the BTR2 was an odd product; something which straddled the fence that separates the crazy seventies and the tech-heavy nineties. The BTR …

Its looks are divisive. Its sound and manners are too. Any car sporting a 997 Cup motor, regardless of what little insulation this oddity has, must be a little on the grating side of things. "Designed to merge technology from Cup racing with everyday life" is how the MAX 11 is introduced in this elferspot listing. Somehow, you wonder how well that …

When tuners have the courage of their convictions and the ability to look accept unchangeable shortcomings, they can—excuse the expression—polish a turd. Alan is such a mensch and his 996 proves two things: the potential of the most maligned 911 is undeniable and this combination of carefully chosen additions makes the 996 a genuinely pretty thing. …

Though the shape and the sheer presence of Rauh-Welt's vehicles are all inspired by old-world motorsport, their striking appearance is appreciated by more folks loitering in parking lots than racing fans sitting in grandstands. Not every one of Akira Nakai's creations make it to the track, but this particular example, thankfully, does. There's a …

On Tuesday morning, Singer Vehicle Design finally unveiled a project it has been working on for quite some time.

Before Andreas Preuninger was onboard for his first big project, there was the 996.1 GT3. This first attempt at a hot, water-cooled 911 was criticized some for brakes not quite up to the task of hard lapping, but having a few rough edges added to its raw charm. This first attempt at a hot 911 with a water-cooled engine wasn't quite perfect, but …

It takes a special soul to take a GT3 and turn it into one of these. To cater to the slightly deranged crowd not content with the capability of a GT-series Porsche, German tuner 9ff will fit a perfectly fine GT3 with a set of turbos and forged internals to handle boost pressure. No longer a track-oriented car and now a definite highway king, this …

Among the boutique 911 idealists, the one operation which seems to best blend superior coachwork and cosmetic taste with track aplomb is Gunther Werks.
