For as legendary a supercar as the Ruf CTR is, you wouldn’t suspect Ruf Automobile to have come from such humble beginnings. The CTR came from Alois Ruf Jr.’s love of Porsche, specifically the 911 model. After years of tuning existing models, Ruf eventually realized his Porsche dream: a twin turbo 911 that could go toe to toe with supercars like the Ferrari F40, the Lamborghini Countach, and the Porsche 959. This is the story of the car’s unlikely origin, its dominating top speed capabilities, how it gained its famous “Yellowbird” nickname, and its stunning performance on the Nürburgring Nordschleife.
