CANEPA DIFFERENCE

An investment in a Canepa collector car goes beyond obtaining a premier classic or historic racing car - it is the assurance that your vehicle has been inspected, restored, repaired, and vetted by mechanical artisans and experts.

This includes a thorough mechanical and cosmetic inspection; a top-to-bottom service; any restoration to ensure the vehicle is in show condition; extensive road testing; and a complete Concours quality detail of the engine, chassis, exterior, and interior – and that is only the beginning of the Canepa Difference.

At Canepa you’ll find automotive nirvana in our 70,000 square foot facility in the foothills of the Santa Cruz mountains where the world’s best automotive artisans work to preserve the most important road cars and competition vehicles for generations to come. Historic race car owners trust our motorsport team to deliver the expertise to restore and run their vehicles at the highest level.

Starting from humble beginnings as a small repair shop in Pfaffenhausen, Germany, Ruf Automobile GmbH as it is known as one of the foremost turners and manufacturers of specialized vehicles based on the Porsche platform. In 1974, Alois Ruf Sr. passed away with son, 24 year-old Alois Ruf Jr., taking the reins of the company, already a deep sports car enthusiast while modifying and restoring cars. It didn’t take long for him to veer the company towards his passion: sports cars from Zuffenhausen, specifically Porsche 911s. Ruf built their first car in 1977 in the form of a Porsche 911 Turbo with a stroked 3.3-liter engine, and more cars followed suit.
 
 
The German shop progressed steadily over the years with different upgrades and modifications, gaining fame within automotive circles. But the world was not prepared for their biggest achievement to date, released in 1987 at the Geneva Motor Show: the Ruf CTR, the 463-horsepower twin-turbo flat six Porsche 911-based Ruf car, lovingly dubbed by Car & Driver later and now by the general automotive public, “Yellowbird”. That is, until Ruf arrived at the 2017 Geneva Motor Show exactly 30 years after the Yellowbird was first revealed, and announced their latest project and achievement: the Ruf CTR Anniversary.
 
 
Celebrating Ruf’s 30-year anniversary since the original release of the CTR “Yellowbird”, Ruf decided that it was high time to honor their legacy and the car that many feel put Ruf on the automotive map in the most significant way. Starting from the ground up, the CTR Anniversary was created as a clean slate. While you’d be forgiven if you saw it quickly passing by and assumed it was a Porsche, you’d be wrong. Instead, you’d be met with a bespoke automotive package from Ruf that is their ultimate expression of their engineering and tuning prowess. And with only 50 being built, it would be extremely exclusive.
 
 
Starting with the chassis, Ruf determined that a normal steel or aluminum unibody would not suffice for their performance-celebrating CTR Anniversary, and decided to put considerable resources into designing and producing a bespoke carbon fiber monocoque chassis. Touted as their most advanced vehicle to date, the Ruf CTR Anniversary is considerably lighter and stronger than their previous cars. This technological choice helps reduce weight in the car considerably which in turns pays dividends. With the steel front and rear structural members bolting directly to the chassis, like the Ruf-trademark integrated roll cage, helps protect occupants while offering an extremely stable foundation for the double-wishbone 4-wheel independent in-board pushrod suspension. Bespoke carbon fiber body panels surround the entire vehicle, further reducing weight. This attention to detail in reducing weight not only helps the CTR Anniversary excel at handling and acceleration, but also maintaining a feather-like curb weight of 2,646lbs dry.
 
 
The original CTR was defined by its modified 3.4L twin-turbo engine, and the CTR Anniversary received a healthy dose of modern ingenuity and performance. With a custom 3.6L twin-turbo water-cooled flat six engine from Ruf producing 710hp and 649 lb-ft of torque, the CTR Anniversary is capable of a top speed of 224 mph and accelerating from 0-60 mph in under 3.5 seconds.. A custom 7-speed manual transmission, designed by Ruf and built by ZF, was designated for the CTR Anniversary to maintain the soul of the original while keeping the experience engaging.
 
 
With the driving experience being such an important part of the original CTR Anniversary, Ruf ensured that its successor would be even better for the driver. One of the first things noticed upon entering the cabin of the CTR Anniversary, besides the bare carbon fiber tub exposed in various places reminding you of what this car is underneath, is the no-nonsense design. No large screens, no wall of buttons, just a few dials for controls, specific buttons for things like the integrated front axle lift system, and your gauge cluster. Alois Ruf Jr. wanted the driver to enjoy the car without distractions, to fully experience the car while driving. Leather carbon bucket seats with deviated stitching accent the cabin, with a rear carbon package shelf with “CTR” emblazoned across.
 
 
This 2021 Ruf CTR Anniversary was completed in August of 2021 in Pfaffenhausen, Germany. Spec’d in Blossom Yellow, the same iconic color as the original Ruf CTR, a black leather interior was chosen along with yellow deviated stitching throughout. The 1st owner, a respected collector/successful historic race car driver, drove the Ruf CTR Anniversary 5,802 miles during his ownership, thoroughly enjoying the Pfaffenhausen-built supercar.
 
 
Upon arriving at Canepa, the CTR Anniversary was a sight to behold. With one of only 50 examples produced, it is a rare car to see especially in a color combination harkening back to the original CTR. A thorough inspection both inside and out returned results of a car that was kept in like-new condition and in excellent mechanical and cosmetic condition, no doubt in part by the odometer which had just reached 5,802 miles. The car was shortly dispatched into the “Canepa Difference” process where it went through a detailed and exacting inspection, comprehensive mechanical servicing, and concours-level detailing to ensure a showroom-level finish.
 
 
With the concours-level detail process underway, beginning with the underside of the Ruf, technicians hand washed every square inch of the underside by hand. Next, the CTR was polished to perfection using a multi-stage foam pad polishing method by Canepa’s automotive artisans, enhancing the already lustrous shine of the limited edition metallic paint. The black leather interior was given an equal amount of attention, cleaning every crevice and ensuring the factory leather was conditioned to remain in concours-level condition for years to come. Lastly, Canepa’s iconic Magnesium Charcoal Graphite finish was applied to the Ruf 5-spoke center lock wheels, completing the look of the modern “Yellowbird.”
 
 
With humble beginnings in Pfaffenhausen as a small repair shop to today designing and building supercars, Ruf Automobile knows a thing or two about how to make a performance vehicle. With its first lightning strike of a car, the CTR in 1987, it continued its heritage and proudly created its modern 21st-century swansong, the CTR Anniversary. With 710hp on tap routed through a 7-speed manual transmission, with pushrod-actuated suspension mounted to a custom carbon fiber monocoque chassis, and looks that can only be regarded as timeless, it seems that Ruf knows exactly how to make lightning strike twice.
