If you haven’t heard of RUF’s iconic CTR, or Yellowbird, you need to watch the video below before reading this story.

Now that you’re up to speed, check out what RUF is planning for the Geneva Motor Show.

It’s a remake of the CTR built to celebrate 80 years of RUF. The car was actually unveiled last year as a prototype but has now made it through to production.

Now called the CTR Anniversary, the beastly 930-styled sports car uses a twin-turbo 3.6-litre flat six producing 522kW. A claimed weight of 1200kg helps it hit 100km/h in less than 3.5 seconds and 200km/h will flash past in under nine. Top speed is evidently 360km/h.

Cornering is helped by double-wishbone suspension at the front and rear with pushrod type shockers.

RUF is also introducing the 991-based GT, which uses a 3.0-litre flat six good for 384kW and 645Nm. It uses a seven-speed double clutch gearbox and can accelerate to 100km/h in just 3.4 seconds.

Both models will debut at the Geneva Motor Show in about two week’s time.
