Ruf BTR 3.4

The Ruf BTR 3.4 reaches 60 mph in 4.16 s (100 km/h in 4.35 s) and covers a standing quarter mile in 12.42 s, tripping the lights at 114.0 mph. It clears the first 60 ft in 2.04 s and the eighth mile in 8.04 s, reaching 100 mph in 9.67 s.

Simulated, not measured — computed from published kerb mass, rated power, gearing and drivetrain, then fitted to this car’s own published acceleration figures. Dry asphalt, 20 °C, sea level, 1 ft rollout.

About the BTR 3.4

The 1983 Ruf BTR 3.4 is a rear-drive turbocharged supercar of 1,169 kg with 369 bhp, which works out at 315 bhp per tonne. Rear drive and 315 bhp per tonne make the launch the hard part of the run: 60 ft takes 2.04 s. Against the 14,946 cars in the set it is the 1,253rd quickest to 60 mph, inside the fastest tenth, and the 21st quickest of the 23 Rufs here. Its 114.0 mph trap speed sits about where its 0-60 puts it, so it launches and pulls in roughly equal measure. The simulation is trimmed to 9 of 11 published acceleration figures for this car.

Questions

What is the Ruf BTR 3.4 0-60 time?
The Ruf BTR 3.4 reaches 60 mph in 4.16 s, simulated on dry asphalt at 20 °C with a 1 ft rollout. That makes it the 1,253rd quickest of the 14,946 cars in the set.
What is the Ruf BTR 3.4 quarter mile time?
12.42 s at 114.0 mph. It reaches the eighth mile in 8.04 s and clears the first 60 ft in 2.04 s. These are theoretical times from a physics simulation, not measured runs.
How much power does the Ruf BTR 3.4 have?
369 bhp and 1,169 kg, which is 315 bhp per tonne. It is rear-drive, turbocharged, with 5 gears and a quoted top speed of 305 km/h. These are theoretical times from a physics simulation, not measured runs.
What cars are comparable to the Ruf BTR 3.4?
Closest here on pace: Alfa Romeo 8C Competizione (4.18 s), Dodge Viper GTS (4.14 s), Lotus Exige S Roadster (4.05 s). Each one can be raced against the Ruf BTR 3.4 in the panel at the top of this page. These are theoretical times from a physics simulation, not measured runs.
Are these real measured times?
No. Every figure on this page is produced by a physics simulation, not by a stopwatch at a drag strip. The Ruf BTR 3.4 is modelled from its published kerb mass, rated power, drivetrain and gearing, then trimmed until it reproduces 9 of its 11 published acceleration figures. Conditions are the same for every car in the set: dry asphalt, 20 °C, sea level, 1 ft rollout.
