Porsche RUF BTR

On April 21, the auction house RMSothebys will sell the Porsche RUF BTR. It is a model that is the dream of most Porsche car owners.

The auction model was produced in 1981. In 1987, the German company RUF Automobile made car modifications at the request of the owner. The first owner, after moving from Germany to California, in 1987 moved the car to the United States.

RUF Automobile has installed a 3.4-liter engine with 374 hp, a new intercooler and exhaust system with four pipes, a five-speed gearbox with rear-wheel drive. 1988 the car got new suspension and seats.

The auction model features 17-inch forged wheels with Continental tires, tartan seats and a leather-wrapped steering wheel.

The car covered 83,685 kilometers (just over 52,000 miles). The auction will take place in Michigan and the Porsche RUF BTR is expected to reach a price of $ 100,000.

All electric Peugeot 308

Peugeot has announced that the 308 model will get an electric version. In response to the VW ID.3 model, Peugeot has announced that the electric 308 will be on the market in 2023.

The electric 308 model will be based on a platform consisting of two options: the CMP platform used by small cars (Citroen C4), for all-electric propulsion and Peugeot’s e-VMP platform as an upgraded EMP2 platform for electric vehicles. The upgraded EMP2 platform is considered the best solution for the electric 308 model.

The Model 3008 will be the first to use a new platform that is thought to be used for the all-electric 308 model as well.

Volkswagen is safe when it comes to sports versions, as Peugeot has no intention of producing GTI and Sport models.
