Rare 1989 Ruf CTR Yellowbird, Capable of 211 MPH, Expected to Fetch Millions at Amelia Island Auction

A pristine 1989 Ruf CTR Yellowbird, one of only 29 ever made, is set to go under the hammer at Gooding & Company's Amelia Island Auction on March 7th. This legendary sportscar, capable of reaching 211 mph, is expected to fetch a staggering £4.8 million. The Yellowbird, known for its shocking impact on the automotive world upon its release, boasts a six-speed manual gearbox, a 3.4-litre flat-six engine, and a mere 1,039.5 miles on the clock. Its widened rear arches and aerodynamic side mirrors further enhance its iconic status. David Brynan of Gooding & Company describes it as an "astonishing example" and a "benchmark, time capsule example" retaining its original paint, interior, and serial-numbered components. The Yellowbird remains a dream car for enthusiasts, representing the best of 1980s and 90s supercars.
