A roadgoing development of the 964-type Carrera Cup racer, just 290 examples of the RS N/ GT were built. Holding a 12 June 1992 date of production ahead of delivery in Germany, this example was specified in Maritime Blue. Its first owner, based in Frankfurt, received the car via Porsche Zentrum Darmstadt in July 1992. Importantly, the Porsche was configured with the “M003” option code. This denotes the Club Sport package, adding a roll cage, Recaro bucket seats with Schroth harnesses, thinner glass, simplified doors cars, and a lightweight wiring loom.
The Porsche was submitted to RUF Automobile (correspondence available on file) in 1999 to be converted to BTR 3. 8 specification. This entailed the installation of a turbocharged Type M64/ 50 engine that has been enlarged to 3. 8-litre capacity. The motor is rated for 415 PS and is paired with a six-speed manual RUF gearbox. The RUF conversion also included fitment of a Turbo-style rear spoiler, RUF exhaust end pipes, instruments, suspension, braking system, additional oil cooler, further to the installation of a dual-mass flywheel plus OZ Racing wheels. The cost of the transformation exceeded 106, 000 Deutsche Mark.
Recorded showing 25, 902 kilometres on its odometer upon its RUF conversion, at which point the instrument cluster was replaced and reset, the 911 displayed 6, 222 kilometres at the time of cataloguing; it is therefore believed that the Porsche has covered around 32, 000 kilometres in its lifetime. Since its conversion by RUF, the car spent nearly 25 years in storage with minimal use, before being revived by the consigning owner last year. The car subsequently returned to RUF in December 2025 for extensive maintenance, including a replacement windscreen, overhaul of the brakes, new Bilstein suspension, a major engine service, and new tyres. The cost detailed in the accompanying workshop invoice amounted to €29, 785. At the point of consignment, an RM Sotheby’s Car Specialist captured paint meter readings for the car’s bodywork, and photos of these paint thickness measurements can be viewed on file.
