The owner of Pelican Parts got these slides from a friend who apparently visited the Porsche factory during the 959 production run. Pretty cool to see these cars in this state. The intercoolers look to be pretty massive despite being side mount.

Looking at the pictures it sure looks like a fair amount of similarities.

Both Porsche and RUF had to be working with key vendors like Bosch for the fuel injection controls and KKK for the turbo's at the same time.

Wonder if it was a vendor driven coincidence or if Porsche orchestrated the whole thing.

Even the air filter can's look similar.

I know there are big differences like water cooled heads and sequential turbo's on the 959.
