The RUF CTR Anniversary is a high-performance vehicle that pays tribute to the original "Yellowbird" model, renowned for its record-setting legacy. Blending retro styling with modern technology, the car features a lightweight carbon fiber monocoque chassis and rear-wheel drive. It is powered by a 710 horsepower twin-turbocharged flat-six engine, which allows it to reach an impressive top speed of 360 km/h. With a 0-100 km/h acceleration time of just 3.5 seconds, the CTR Anniversary offers a thrilling driving experience. The car is available exclusively with a seven-speed manual transmission, staying true to the analog roots of its predecessor.
The exterior design is inspired by classic RUF models, with subtle aerodynamic tweaks and timeless styling elements like the wide rear fenders and the distinctive rear spoiler. Inside, the minimalist approach carries through, emphasizing performance and luxury. While comfortable, the interior is purposefully designed to minimize distractions, ensuring the driver can focus on handling the car at high speeds. RUF has ensured that the CTR Anniversary is more than a tribute to the Yellowbird; it incorporates cutting-edge engineering to create an optimal balance of power, speed, and driver engagement. By using modern materials like carbon fiber, the car maintains a low curb weight, enhancing its handling and agility on the track. Every aspect of the vehicle, from the suspension system to the brakes, has been optimized for high performance, ensuring that it is a true successor to the iconic Yellowbird.
Production of the CTR Anniversary is limited to 50 units with each immediately becoming a sought-after collector's item. Each is hand-built with meticulous attention to detail, reflecting RUF's commitment to craftsmanship and precision engineering. It is a fitting tribute to the RUF legacy and a celebration of the company's long-standing expertise in high-performance vehicle engineering. Ordered in 2022 and completed in April 2024, this CTR Anniversary is finished in the ever-popular 1960s shade of Irish Green over an optional “complete interior package” in Black leather with Pepita fabric seat inserts. Each CTR is highly customizable, and the original specification certainly reflects that. In addition to the optional interior package, it features the light weight door option with carbon fiber interior panels and pull straps, carbon fiber dashboard trim, foldable Kevlar carbon fiber light weight bucket seats trimmed in leather and Pepita fabric. For safety the interior includes an optional fire extinguisher. The exterior is equipped with RUF's five-spoke forged light-alloy centerlock wheels in Silver with red painted brake calipers and RUF logo in Black. Perhaps most impressive is the low mileage at offering – less than 100. The opportunity to locate a well specified, nearly new example of RUF's latest creation located in the United States is rare indeed and is one that should not be overlooked.
