GERMAN CRAFTSMANSHIP: RUF CTR Anniversary - More exclusive than Porsche | WELT Documentary

In 1987, the RUF CTR appeared, which at the time was described as the fastest production car in the world. With the speed of 339 kilometers per hour, the super sports car nicknamed "Yellowbird" outperformed competing vehicles from renowned manufacturers, including Ferrari, Lamborghini and Porsche. 30 years later, the successor to the cult car was presented: the CTR Anniversary. The report tells the story of the classic car and shows the creation of the small-series super sports car.

Great video. I had an opportunity to meet Herr Ruf when I was stationed in Germany with the Army in the late 80s. A fine gentleman who does excellent work.

[@pinoybricks1275]

It's my humble opinion that whatever the Germans may put their hands into it will always come out legendary. Awesome indeed! And WELT? Always delivers!

In the 80s, countless times I read that Road and Track top speed article featuring the RUF Yellowbird. Legendary. This new one appears to be spectacular. Can you imagine how wild it would be to drive that monster? Over 700 hp, 2700lbs, rear engine and rear drive, that is lovely.

When R&T used to be a great. As a kid, I had the top speed article with the F-40, ZR-1, Diablo, RUF, Alpina, etc. It was circa 1991. I went through that magazine everyday. The Alpina blew me away being a 4 door car. Now they're written by cringey people who drink too much Cappamochachino with almond milk from Starbucks in an ego friendly cup.

TRUE that the handful of companies that produce 911 resto mods such as singer do deliver a beautiful product. but there's something very special about what roll's out of RUF. they definitely have a connection to the porsche that's not found anywhere else. just magnificent.
