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.

That's a formula that's worked with many racers, but some have higher standards.

Calling the last of the single-turbo 911s a thug might be a trifle harsh, but even the relatively refined 964 was a challenging car to manage for anyone but the less than the truly talented.
