RUF CTR Yellowbird — German record-breaking supercar. RUF CTR Yellowbird — a legendary sports car introduced in 1987 by the German company RUF Automobile GmbH. Based on the Porsche 911 Carrera 3.2, it was completely redesigned by RUF engineers and became one of the fastest cars of the late 1980s, earning the nickname Yellowbird thanks to its bright yellow body and phenomenal dynamics. Under the hood is a 3.4-liter flat-six engine with two turbochargers, developing 469 horsepower and 553 Nm of torque. It was paired with a specially developed 5-speed manual transmission and rear-wheel drive.
