I'm sure that there's a big price difference between them but, if you can afford the CTRII, then by all mens go for it.

Is that RTurbo currently in Pfaffenhausen or is it in Dallas?

It looks like it's previous owner resided in Europe.

RTurbo, definitely. Different outcome if we had been talking about the Yellowbird.

Two very different machines

The CTR2 Sport with solid lifters and wide body is a very different car than the R Turbo. Which would I choose? Neither, I would go with a Ruf CTR. Or the soon to be R50!


Cheers

CTR2, been for a ride in it. That thing pulls like a *****. Unlimited funds? Then it's the RT12 hands down.
