The RUF CTR was built from 1987 to 2021.
The CTR Yellowbird, the most traded version: The CTR Yellowbird stands as one of motoring's greatest legends—a 469-horsepower missile that redefined what a 911 could become. Alois Ruf's modifications to the 930 platform created something far more radical than Porsche ever dared, with the twin-turbo 3.4-liter flat-six delivering explosive power through a precise 5-speed manual. The famous yellow prototype's Nürburgring footage became automotive folklore, showcasing Stefan Roser's incredible skill taming this rear-engine beast. With only 29 examples built, the Yellowbird represents the pinnacle of 1980s supercar excess—no electronic aids, just pure mechanical connection between driver and machine. Today's values reflect its legendary status, with pristine examples commanding seven figures. The CTR's influence on modern supercars cannot be overstated, making it essential for any serious collection focused on automotive icons.
