    Recently acquired a RUF CTR2 after a long search. It's one of 29 RUF VIN# cars made and this particular car was on the cover of Road and Track in Feb 1997. It underwent a complete go through at RUF Pfaffenhausen to their usual high standards.

    Thanks Chris ! From the time that I asked Alois to find one of the original 29 for sale and getting her home was 3 yrs, but definitely worth the wait.

    So cool. I sold my gt3 to ruf dallas in 2011. They said they were going to ruf mod it but never found out what happened to it

    I feel ruf has been replaced by gt series of factory cars. Gt3rs is pretty much tops for series production and 918 is ultra. Where does ruf fit in? Havent heard anything about the 8 cyl ruf either

    RUF is bespoke build, limited numbers, fantastic performance. Once you deal
    with them it all becomes clear. Personalized experience, sensational
    performance and history.

    I'm also a big fan of the modern Porsche GT cars...love my RS and the CGT. There is just something about the CTR2 that makes it special to
    me. I love the looks, but the performance is even better. Roughly 2800lbs and 580hp make it fly and feel so connected. It's a lot like the F40 in terms of boost rush and seat jollies :)

    Jas, amazing car and wonderful thread. Thank you for sharing your passion with us. My 1984 dealer conversion slant nose is going though paint now. Will get it back in February. Really amazing to look at the performance numbers Ruf cars have been making. I often wonder how many times they "have "surprised" others who run across them on the road!

    Miles of smiles to you sir. The wait was worth it.

    The CTR3. They sold a few all over the world. Each of the CTR Yellowbird, and CTR2 runs were 29 cars. Not sure exactly how many CTR3's were built but I imagine its similar numbers. There are at least 3 CTR3 in the USA that I know of.
