In 1984, a Ruf BTR won the “World’s Fastest Cars” contest held by the American car magazine Road & Track with a 10 mph (16 km/h) lead and also dominated the acceleration tests. It accelerated from 0–97 km/h (0–60 mph) in 4.7 seconds, 0–161 km/h (0–100 mph) in 10.4 seconds, covered 1⁄4 mile (402 m) in 13.3 seconds at a speed of 177 km/h (110 mph) and managed a top speed of 300 km/h (186.2 mph).
At the next contest three years later, the same car, with 211,000 trouble-free miles on the odometer, visited outside the competition and attained a top speed of 301 km/h (187 mph), still able to outperform most of the newer cars including the Lamborghini Countach 5000 QV, the AMG Hammer, the Ferrari 288 GTO, and the Ferrari Testarossa, only the Porsche 959, the Ruf CTR and a Koenig modified Porsche 911 Turbo with engine by RS-Tuning were faster. In Auto, Motor und Sport 22/1984 issue, a Ruf BTR set a new 0–100 km/h acceleration record for production cars tested by the magazine. It accelerated from 0–100 km/h (0–62 mph) in 4.6 seconds, 0–200 km/h (0–124 mph) in 15.5 seconds and covered a standing kilometre in 23.0 seconds.
