1990 RUF CTR Yellowbird

The RUF CTR helped put RUF on the map as the star of the famous film “Faszination on the Nürburgring” and as winner of Road & Track’s World’s Fastest Car competition in 1987. That year, the little yellow RUF beat out the best from Ferrari, Lamborghini and Mercedes with a top speed of 213 mph, earning the nickname “Yellowbird” from one of the photographers at the event. The car you see here was sold new in Japan, before being acquired by its current owner just a few years ago. It remains one of the most original of the 29 RUF Yellowbirds extant and is one of just nine originally painted in yellow.
