In 1987, a modified Porsche 911 from the little-known tuner Ruf beat the best supercars of the day as it became the fastest car in the world.
In 1987, a Porsche tuner called Ruf competed against the top supercars of the day and beat them all with a car that was officially called the CTR but became better known as the “Yellowbird.”
Ruf didn’t start with Porsche’s top dog to create the Yellowbird. Instead of the 930-generation 911 Turbo, Ruf opted for the 911 Carerra 3.2 as its starting point because it was a lighter car. That left a factory turbocharger out of the equation, and Ruf got to work enhancing so much of the 911 that the company qualified in Germany as a manufacturer rather than just a tuner.
The suspension also got an upgrade, and a roll cage added structural stiffness. The brakes were swapped out for 13.0-inch Brembos, and the car wore larger Speedline wheels and Dunlop tires.
