Vehicle Details
AI Listing Summary
This 1997 RUF CTR2 Sport is a unique, first-of-its-kind example built for the Pikes Peak International Hill Climb. With a monstrous 702 bhp engine (now 591.5 bhp on pump gas after modifications) and extensive racing history, including multiple wins and record-setting climbs, this street-legal car boasts exceptional performance and provenance, having been owned by Steve Beddor and later acquired and upgraded by the consignor.

This CTR2 Sport was the very first example of its kind, one of just two built for the 1997 Pikes Peak International Hill Climb, and featured numerous modifications above and beyond RUFs “regular” CTR2s.
Outside, the front fenders, rear decklid, dual rear wings, and sill-extensions were made of composite materials, whilst the front decklid and doors were constructed of carbon fiber.
Its rear dual-level adjustable spoiler served not just to produce downforce, but also direct airflow to the intercoolers below.
The fully independent and adjustable suspension was crafted by Öhlins using motorsport-grade components.
