As promised, here is a longer clip featuring “Yellowbird”, otherwise known as the RUF CTR (see below for the clip).

In 2005, when John Hennessey tested the car for Road & Track‘s Thunder Road feature, he said: “That thing’s a blast. It accelerates hard. It’s a real old-school car with a lot of torque and power. Just awesome. What a rush. It pulled the whole way through.”
