Broad Arrow Auctionsโpart of the Hagerty (NYSE: HGTY) familyโis revving up for a landmark event at the 2025 Monterey Jet Center Auction, and at the heart of it all is a crown jewel of 1990s performance: the 1998 RUF CTR 2 Sport, estimated at $3Mโ$3.5M. For collectors, RUF devotees, and air-cooled aficionados alike, this is a once-in-a-generation offering.
The Apex of Air-Cooled Performance
Following in the tire marks of the legendary Yellowbird, RUFโs CTR 2 was no mere sequelโit was a revolution. Built on the Porsche 993 platform and infused with Group C DNA via a 3.6-liter twin-turbo flat-six inspired by the Porsche 962, the CTR 2 pumped out a staggering 580 horsepower and 505 lb-ft of torque. Paired with a RUF six-speed manual, it rocketed from 0โ60 mph in 3.6 seconds and topped out at 217 mphโmaking it the fastest production car in the world when it launched.
But Alois Ruf wasnโt done. Enter the CTR 2 Sportโa rarer, rawer, and even more track-focused evolution. Just 14 examples were built, and the car is going under the hammer in Monterey, chassis no. W09BC0360WPR06007, is one of only four specified with all-wheel drive.
Originally delivered in non-metallic black over black leather to Frank Beddorโa name synonymous with RUFโs American presenceโit received a factory refresh in Pfaffenhausen following minor transport damage. That work transformed it into a one-off: a stunning green leather interior, Bilstein PSS10 coilovers, and a freshened presence that elevates it further into the stratosphere of collectability.
With only 16,679 miles and a fresh RUF North America service (July 2025), this CTR 2 Sport embodies everything that makes RUF specialโearth-shattering performance wrapped in a package thatโs still usable on real roads.
“This car represents one of the purest expressions of RUFโs legacy,” says Alexander Weaver, Senior Car Specialist at Broad Arrow. “It blends motorsport pedigree with bespoke craftsmanship in a way that resonates with both seasoned collectors and the next-gen enthusiast.”

The CTR 2 Sport is just the beginning. Broad Arrowโs Monterey auction also features a curated selection of RUF and Porsche reimaginings that push the boundaries of engineering, aesthetics, and rarity.
