RUF CTR YELLOW BIRD

[sethndavis]

Not a true "Yellowbird" A TRUE RUF Yellowbird had black vents on top the rear wheel arch's. All others were still RUF CTR's just the regular or lightweight versions. Only the high-powered "Worlds Fastest Production Car of 1987" had the rear vents on the rear wheel archs.

grande lenda!

[blksentra2]

@rock3tcat, I agree. But it's a shame that it's all the talentless ones who buy the car for the looks or because it's known to be expensive, that have all the money. :(

[rock3tcat]

0:45 sums up everything I like about the 911, a bad ass machine for drivers who are both talented and serious about their driving.

I hope that Porsche won't go into the same trap as Ferrari by packing their cars with all sorts of electronic BS to save talentless drivers, just keep it a pure racing machine. :D 

[abacacus]

@rock3tcat It's not a 911...

[FuckTheLawNiggas]

GT5 graphics are awesome now... they are very lifelike and sounds great

[xaioguy73]

Yup, rr enginez are way too much oversteer to handle...

[chevelle19721]

Its the STIG!

[carson900]

How do you unlock this? or do you have to buy it?

[xJiizzz]

Is this real or GT5???

[teedot]

@xJiizzz Are you kidding me?

[xJiizzz]

@teedot OMG, Stupid bitch, im saying that the Graphic on the game is Amazing! I now its GT5!

[teedot]

@xJiizzz You think this is GT5? Seriously?

I suggest you open those eyes of yours a little more...

[teedot]

@xJiizzz Nice to see you can form sentences as well, shame that you have to use profanity to get your point across... must not be too intelligent.

[xJiizzz]

@teedot Sarcasm...

[oddchung]

As all 911, they are good handling machine. It only becomes tricky when you over the limit. The rear-end heavy oversteering can not be cured by releasing the gas as FR cars, or accelerating as FF or FWD cards. Driver has to have great sence of speed and tire grip relate to the 911 in order to drive it fast. As I know, many people try to cure this issue by stiffen the front suspention, and end up undrivable in slow corner and sold the car. 911 is good handling and pure driver's car.

[alanet100]

granda ruf eu queria trocar o meu gt2 de 2002 por um deste

[pacocandano]

the best car...period....

[supertrix101]

i want one!!!!!!!

[a8127]

Ohh thats wonderful sound...

[Nation010]

I would give anyting to own one of these A proper mans car the real deal old school stylee. Not all those silly ones that have DSC tct...Bla bla bla for boys who don't know difference between Oversteer or Understeer but sure do know how to quickly turn on traction control etc and drive very fast in a straight line or from the traffic lights. THESE is my dream car the CTR1 NOT the CTR2 or 3. They are too safe. Thanks for the video. LOVE IT!!

[sidewayssam]

if you think this is good ,watch mine at the ring in the original yellowbird with stephan roser..

[crzcba]

i never had this luck to drive it, but i think that it must be a GURMAN RIDA

[TheWhupper]

Love the way that silver one is chasing the yellow car. Great skill and commitment, hanging the tail out, as only a 911 can do.

[digimon916]

porsches are like the little devils in the supercar world. they dont look anything like the other cars, theyre small, nimble, and very fast. i fell in love with porsches when i saw the chase seen in bad boys part 1 on the airstrip lol....

[slade420]

i remember the RUF from the early Gran Tourismo games!

[Tiamat583]

me 2, too bad they dont have porsche in gran turismo.

[geforce5700fx]

RUF ; There is no substitute AT ALL =D

[NANIWAREI]

korega

sekaisaisoku!

[forstflieger]

Forget Ferrari, Lamborghini & Co! They`re cars for snobs to be seen on boulevards.

This is a really fast car to be driven by real pilots on the track or on German Autobahns...

[geforce5700fx]

I would give a testi for the silver one ! xD

[dragonjay619]

why they look like porsche?

[tonhaxxor]

because it is a Porsche.

RUF is just a Tuner.

[dragonjay619]

oh ok thanks for the info

[SanMiguel17Ekclan]

no Ruf is not a Tuner.. because the Ruf cars are not like the Porsche cars ;) Read it

[gielfransen]

They are even mentioned as a own car manufacturer.

[SanMiguel17Ekclan]

@gielfransen yes ruf is a own car manufacturer sry im from Germany :D i cant wirte english so good

[the13joker]

thats at Fuji speedway in Japan.Great track and that Yellowbird is badass

[serdarb14]

dammn this is like the hottest milf between cars...fucking sexy..

[weirdnessbeardness]

Maxrev that is cool you live in germany near ruf. I have a 98 993 (targa) with a full spec btr2 conversion (single turb) it only has 420 horse but is loads of fun to drive. Not as much body roll as this ctr interestingly...not sure that matters.....ruf is king of the aircooled's! Scruff gemballa and promotive give me ruf or give me death!!!!!!!

[05027802]

I would remove one of my own testicles with a pair of rusty pliers to have one of those babies sitting in my garage.... And that's a scientific fact!

[golf1diesel]

ditto to that..then i would waste all the rich idiots in my country (Romania)who think their cars are the best just because they are new and very expensive..they would laugh at first..haha shit car you have than i would love to see their faces when they are RAPED

[McLarenMercedes]

those kind of people you talk about see cars as expensive furs or jewelery to wear, and display

most of them don't know shit about motorracing or what kind of an engine is in their car

This RUF CTR (Porsche 911) was clocked at 211mph=339km/h in the 1988 Road&Track supercar test. It was even faster than the Ferrari F40.

This Ruf is still seriously fast compared to many modern supercars.

[golf1diesel]

very well pointed my friend..and if they saw this car:they would be like..uuu nice museum porsche:| screw bitches with a lot of money and no knowledge and passion

[crv26]

i think the motorcycle shit himself at 1:12

[aguilerapro]

Y NEED YOUR SEVICE IN NASCAR MEXIVO

[DragonInfraXtremeRGT]

i just remembered now blackbird is a 964 911 turbo .

[DragonInfraXtremeRGT]

i also forgot gold rims.

[oistein74]

gold rims are kewl

[DragonInfraXtremeRGT]

paint it black and put a wide body kit and replace the body panels with carbon fiber and add second turbo and then you got a Wangan Midnight black bird replica.

[crv26]

where is that video?

[Maxrev]

dump ass

The yellow bird have already 2 turbos^^

i know it

i saw it

i live 10minutes from RUF away LOL

PSSSSSSSSSSSST:RuF is scared about skyline GTR LOL

[heydudekev]

love da car

[PrescriptionSeven]

::cough:: blackbird ::cough::

[pokiebaron]

Great video, more footage please!

[BigEdgePoker]

Most people would loop right off the road in a rear engine car like this.

[Tamaramajamma]

'most people' can't drive to save their own life... in any car ;/

[black930t]

Is that a Silver Bird ? ha ha nice drifting

[CorneliusMcGee]

I agree

[euroman12003]

idk for me it looks like the car has alot of body roll did it seem that way to anybody?

[GearHead318]

it seems like it has a bit

[Tamaramajamma]

a lot for a race car, not for a late 80s roadgoing car.

[porschedriverS2]

driving old 911s is so much fun!!!!!!!

[cosmicdingo]

You gotta be well versed to drive an older 911 like this. Automotive equivalent of the Harrier jump jet.

[nitrogliz]

You guys i think i just came yet again this yellow bird RUF is fucking amazingly beautiful!!!!

[mk2007al]

CTR...used to have two openings for the intercooler in both rear fenders....there are missing here. Anyone can explain?

[roadbeef]

Only the original prototype dubbed "Yellowbird" had the NACA openings. All later CTRs vented air through the intercoolers via slats cut into the rear bumper cover.  Ruf found the air charge from the rear wing into the engine compartment was more than enough volume to meet their needs.

[sseag123]

COooool car!! I love it!

[amarcare]

BAD ASS!

[spekmeister69]

This is my dream!!! I now drive an SC 3.0

[adrev123]

pretty good for a tuned up beetle!!!!

[RotaryJunkie]

lol, yeah.

Surprisingly these ass-engined Nazi sleds have become decent-handling cars instead of axe-murderers... Well, only in the last 10 years or so.

[TGPanjandrum]

Don't mistake "easy handling" with "good handling" - they are not the same thing. Often the best handling cars are actually quite tricky, requiring both skill and months, if not years, of training and practice. Rufs (and Porsches) have historically been excellent handling machines, but also quite tricky, even to the point of being unsafe for those many, many, novice drivers who didn't know how to control them properly.

[RotaryJunkie]

True enough...

Perhaps I should have worded it differently... 911s don't want to kill you as much as they used to.

[gripracer]

@TGPanjandrum despite the multiple thumbs up, your statement is incorrect. "handling" is actually the term for the feel of driver/human interface points and overall feel of the car, and is often misapplied as a blanket term for overall grip, vehicle dynamics, and cornering speed.

[TGPanjandrum]

@gripracer

No, I actually meant exactly what I said. Porsches, especially 911s and their ilk are great handling cars, (but there is no denying that the older ones are tricky). They have indescribably accurate road-feel and the oversteer/understeer dynamics are, for those of us who have learned to drive them properly, ideal in a way no other car can be. While there are plenty of other cars which can equal or better them in specific tests that doesn't necessarily equate to better handling.

[gripracer]

@TGPanjandrum that's not what i'm arguing. i'm just pointing out the misapplication of the word handling.

[eraseyouu]

@TGPanjandrum

Same applies to AWD, you can go from underteer to oversteer in the middle of a turn. Especially a fast turbocharged without tract control or ESP, AWD car like my 93 Audi S4 boosted to 23 psi. The boost can come on suddenly and throw you out of whack. These cars take years to master. The Audis of the group B era were amazing yet tricky to handle as well with over 500 HP at the wheels.

[shadowIbunny]

@TGPanjandrum years of training? really? so they have to hire drivers and pay them for years before theyre able to control these shit-handling machines?

[csmybuttt]

@shadowIbunny Not only are you replying to a 2 year old comment, do you have to be a prick about it as well? I'm sure the driver has already had plenty of experience in different porsches before he was selected. Do you think that RUF would hire a random stranger off the street? I ask because you make it seem as if RUF does.

It's somewhat like asking a company CEO if he raised all of his employees from infants.



[shadowIbunny]

@csmybuttt so you're proving my point by saying the driver /NEEDS/ to have experience in other porsches since their RR handling is so bad an unpredictable? lol thanks

[csmybuttt]

@shadowIbunny Well, if you were a company trying to test a car, what pool of candidates would you use; a person who has never raced, or a professional, established driver specializing in Porsches? I'm sure at a car's limits, the orientation of the drivetrain will certainly change its handling characteristics.

[shadowIbunny]

@csmybuttt the fact that they have to be "specialists" in porsches implies that porsches have different (read: bad) handling characteristics than most conventional racing platforms, otherwise they could just hire any normal racer without years of porsche-specific training. thanks for proving my point again!

[csmybuttt]

@shadowIbunny No, you fucking retard. How are you equating "different" with "bad"? Every drivetrain layout has its advantages and drawbacks. Again, I'm sure the candidate pool is filled with former and current racecar drivers.

Let's say you drive a BMW, and it needs to be checked out. With all things held constant, there is a shop for BMWs, and a shop for MB. Which one do you go to?

[shadowIbunny]

@csmybuttt lol u mad? If RR handling characteristics were good theyd be a dominating trend in motorsports but theyre not. theres actually no RR cars other than porsche running right now and that is because porsche has spent the last few decades engineering everything around the RR layout to make it handle as predictably as an FR or MR. furthermore, many car journalists think the cayman (MR) is the best handling porsche.

[Naru1987]

@TGPanjandrum driven many times on different reacetracks - easy to drive ;)

[Drone696]

The person in the grey RUF got some mad driving skillz...

[runnerbaba]

RUF

[gitarrenfruchtblues]

yeah. the otto normal verbraucher would say it´s a god damn porsche.

[Rosemeyer78]

RUF at Fuji?

[rx7outlaw]

as much as i love all the rotary powered cars....

this is hands down the BEST car ever produced !!

[raidermike72]

Too funny, I have owned 3 RX-7's, still own my '90 'vert. Last year I bought my dream car, '88 930 Turbo. Is your Mom named Mary? Born in Maine? We might have been seperated at birth!

[hapahaole32]

sick

[DiStroyer87]

Amazing sound!!!!!!!!

[Mazda6B6]

Sounds like a plane.

[habsa420]

i agree one of the best cars. ever.

[lada154]

best car

[CLGartman]

I just had an orgasm.

Twice.

[12valvepower]

hahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha­ha cl

[GTLgamer]

24 replicas are known, and these are 2 of them, i think. i can't see the big intakes on the top of the rear fenders for the 2 angular mounted intercoolers the original CTR's have had, also the bar between the rear lights was red plastic not the colour of the car. still absolutley impressive machines...

[kitetrip]

Last one don't have big intakes...

[Millegauss]

top speed is 342 km/h. testet 1988 in "auto motor und sport" magazine (germany)

greetz from there ^^

[super2ner]

BEWARE OF THE TURBO LAGGG lmao but reallt these things have masive turbo lad

[twinturbo1995]

I wounder how much this car goes for?

[jamie762000]

hmm I would think that a yellow bird wul have less body roll?  although i have heard they spin easily so maybe that's why?

[rednecksrock1]

I just wet myself! That car is sex on wheels!

[marcducati]

They acutally removed the side naca air intake on the rear wing for most of the road versions as air coming through the rear wing was actuallly rammedout out of the naca intake. It was sufficiant for cooling so they removed it. First géneration Ruf CTR's had oil filler on the right rear wing like the fuel trap on left front. Problem, a lot of gas stations put petrol in the oil tank so it was removed on later models. Officially it has 470cv but in reality it pulls closer to 500cv.

[nthfinity]

nice footage. I've got some saved up of the only Black AWD Yellowbird... but that's saved for a future release.

What track is this?

[trondravne]

The reason you dont see the vents above the arches is because most CTRs did not have them. The yellowbird got them, but "Yellowbird" is just the name on the company demonstrator and not on the rest of the CTRs. They are all called Yellowbird even if it`s not 100 % correct. But who cares..it`s the greatest car ever!

[er1115]

awesome car, how many horsepower is that thing pulling 480??

[noripo]

yes yes yes it's real yellow bird !

[vevapower]

I don't see the side vents above the rear arches so are you sure it's a real Yellow Bird?
