In-game description[]
This description is taken from the NTSC version of Gran Turismo 2:
Although Ruf is often mistaken for a tuning company since its cars are all based on a well-known rear-engined German sports car, Ruf is actually a certified auto manufacturing company in its own right. Two of its transformations are the Ruf BTR2 and BTR4 models. "BTR" is an abbreviation for "Big Turbo Ruf". Instead of using the body configuration of turbo models of the car upon which it is based, Ruf improved upon the normal body and added a larger rear-mounted powerplant. A 3.8 liter engine replaces the 964 Turbo's 3.6 liter flat 6 engine. This BTR engine delivers 415 BHP at 6000 rpm with maximum torque of 406 lb-ft at 4800 rpm. The accompanying transmission system is a 6-speed manual unit. As the model names imply, the BTR2's drive train is a rear-wheel drive design, and the BTR4's drive train is an AWD version. There are also lightweight versions of these models models and "EKS" versions that feature a 6-speed semi-automatic transmission system. In addition, some of these cars were produced with a "turbo look" body. Naturally, the beefed-up engine led Ruf to change some of the chassis components such as the suspension, brakes, and tires to ensure stable road performance even when cruising at over 185 mph.
