Para64 1:64 1987 RUF CTR Yellow Bird Silver

While the iconic Ruf CTR "Yellowbird" is most vividly remembered in its signature canary yellow, the very car that first stunned the automotive world in 1987, often the press demonstrator and test mule, was actually finished in a subtle, yet purposeful, silver.

Despite this understated hue, its phenomenal performance quickly earned it the famous moniker, not from its paint, but from the distinctive turbo flutter and the way it seemed to 'sing' as it flew down the autobahn.

This wasn't just another modified Porsche 911; Ruf built the CTR from a bare chassis, equipping it with a comprehensively re-engineered twin-turbocharged flat-six engine pumping out 469 horsepower, a bespoke lightweight body, and optimized aerodynamics.
