1997 Porsche Ruf CTR2 Sport for Sale
Buy This Rare Street Legal Porsche Ruf CTR2 Super Car! -
Only 16 CTR2 Sports Made! 580HP 0-60 in 3.6 seconds. Enough said!
We have an exceptional Yellowbird Yellow 1997 Porsche Ruf CTR-2 Sport for sale. You now have a rare opportunity to own the fastest production car in the world in 1997. This ultra rare Porsche Ruf CTR2 Sport ranks right up there with Ferrari's F50 and Jaguar's XJ220. The CTR2's air-cooled engine whips out an impressive 580HP with 0-60 times under 4 seconds, and a blistering top speed of 217mph! There were only 16 of these street legal super cars made from 1995-1997 so this is obviously a really rare chance at owning a piece of automotive history.
This is the fastest car I've ever ridden in. Very few street legal cars match the twin turbo power of this 500+ hp engine. This all-wheel drive sports car has a reported 0-60 (97 km/h) in 3.6 seconds, and a 0-100 mph (161 km/h) in only 7.8 sec! This is not only a beautifully designed work of art, it is also one, SUPER fast automobile. 1995 saw the introduction of the CTR2 and the introductory model had a retail price of $315,000. This car has only 8k original miles since new, a beautiful sounding Blaupunkt stereo system and looks to kill. You are looking at a very fine investment opportunity for any Porsche enthusiast.
This is one of very few Porsche Rufs made, and this car in Yellowbird Yellow is even more rare. This particular car was featured in the February 1998 issue of European Car magazine when it was owned by the previous owner Steve Beddor. Scans of the magazine article can be sent by email if you are interested but there is one page just above the links to the photo galleries below.
Here are some more impressive statistics:
- Quarter mile: 11.5 seconds at 126 mph
- Top Speed: 217 mph (349.2 km/h)
- fully adjustable
- 3.6L Twin Turbocharged Engine

"We flattened onto the banking and exploded onto the back straight with the tach at around 7000 and the speedometer showed 340km/h. My God, I thought, these are Indy speeds. The yellow Ruf pegged its 350km/h speedometer and howled past the clocks with 336.1 showing on the board: 209mph. Paul Frere looked at me with a slightly manic grin and shouted over the earsplitting roar of the engine. "This is faster than I've ever gone in my life!" Not the kind of thing you hear everyday from a former Grand Prix Driver and Le Mans Winner who test drives every conceivable kind of car for a living."
