One of only seven CTR3s built to the desirable Clubsport specification2013 RUF CTR3 Clubsport CoupéChassis no. WO9BM0382DPR06019*Ultra-rare German supercar*Believed the only right-hand drive example*Delivery mileage (46 miles)*Dry stored for its entire life*'As new' conditionFootnotes:'Bottom line. The CTR3 is comfortably the finest Ruf to date. It's also by far and away the best 911 Porsche never made.' – evo.From a tuner and modifier of Porsches, Alois Ruf graduated into automobile manufacturer, being awarded that status in 1981 by the German Automobile Manufacturers Association. The first group of Ruf-designated cars - numbered BTR1, BTR2, and BTR3 - was constructed in the 1980s. Ruf's favoured Porsche 911 was the basis for the trio. The BTR's engine was based on the 3.3-litre Turbo's but displaced 3.4 litres and was fed via a Ruf inter-cooler by an oversize KKK turbocharger. The resulting 369 horsepower was transmitted to the road via a Ruf five-speed gearbox, while the suspension and brakes were of Ruf design also. Finished cars could be purchased either directly from the Ruf factory, or customers could have their own cars converted.Ruf's concept of a super-tuned and upgraded Porsche 911 progressed via the CTR and CTR2, the latter based on the Type 993 model introduced for 1995. Testing one of the first CTRs, Road & Track magazine nicknamed it 'Yellowbird' on account of its striking bright yellow livery, and the name stuck. With a top speed of around 213mph (343km/h), the original CTR held the title of world's fastest production vehicle for many years. The successor CTR2 was based on the Type 993 Porsche 911 Turbo, its 3.6-litre engine tuned by Ruf to produce 520bhp and 505ft/lb of torque, while later versions came with 580 horsepower on tap. Other enhancements included Ruf's own suspension system, bigger brakes, Kevlar body panels, lightweight glass, integral roll cage, redesigned rear wing, and Recaro racing seats with Simpson five-point safety belts. With a recorded top speed of 217mph, the CTR2 was, just like its predecessor, the world's fastest production vehicle at the time of its introduction. Two-wheel and four-wheel drive versions were available.Launched in 2007, the CTR3 gained rave reviews as the most polished, complete car Ruf had ever made. The CTR3 debuted on 13th April that year at Ruf's new factory at the Bahrain International Circuit, the kingdom's ruler, Sheik Salman bin Hamad Al-Khalifa, being the German firm's wealthiest customer. Unlike many previous Rufs, which were closely based on the Porsche 911, the CTR3 is built on a largely bespoke platform developed by Ruf in collaboration with Canadian motor sports specialists Multimatic, who more recently were responsible for manufacturing the new Ford GT. The forward part of the chassis is that of the Porsche 911 GT3 RS, while a tubular sub-frame supports the engine, the latter mid-mounted (as in the Porsche Cayman) rather that at the rear (like a 911). One consequence of the engine's altered position is that although the CTR3 is the same length as a 911, it is longer in the wheelbase by a considerable 274mm (10.8'). The 911's MacPherson strut front suspension was retained and a multi-link arrangement adopted at the rear rather than the customary double wishbones. While undeniably resembling a Porsche from many angles, when parked next to a 911 the CTR3's differences become very clear - most notably its increased width and greatly reduced (by 114mm) height. Boasting leather-trimmed carbon fibre bucket seats, the cabin is necessarily somewhat cosier than that of a 911.Powering the CTR3 was Ruf's Porsche 911-based 3,746cc flat-six twin-turbocharged engine producing 691bhp, which delivered its power to the rear wheels via a six-speed sequential gearbox (with clutch) that eschewed the almost universal shift paddles in favour of a conventional gear lever. Ruf claimed a top speed of 235mph (378km/h) for the CTR3, a stupendous performance reined in by 15' cross-drilled carbon-ceramic brake discs gripped by six-pot callipers. It is also notable as one of the tiny handful of supercars with a power-to-weight ratio exceeding 500bhp/ton, albeit only just (by one horsepower). 'Towering as the Ruf's performance undoubtedly is, its chassis is simply exquisite,' observed evo's tester David Vivian. 'The CTR3 is a car you instinctively trust. It makes fast easy in the same way that a Boxster or Cayman does, stripping away the cause-and-effect concerns that would haunt the nine-tenths 911 pilot. It's gun-it-and-go raised to a supernatural level. Momentum and mass seem perfectly synchronised, the car's potential feels uncannily accessible; there's a tremendous sense of precision and immediacy in everything is does and a wonderful, exploitable balance.'At the 2012 Geneva Motor Show Ruf unveiled the CTR3's replacement: the CTR3 Clubsport. More aggressively styled than the stock CTR3, the Clubsport featured a large fixed carbon rear wing; flared wheelarches to accommodate a wide track; and a new front section with splitter. The Clubsport also featured a revised engine producing a phenomenal 777bhp and 723lb/ft of torque, and could be ordered with an optional seven-speed dual-clutch 'PDK' transmission. Despite its enhanced performance, the more track-focused Clubsport remains as easy to drive and useable as any Porsche, thanks to its combination of original 911 and custom Ruf suspension. It even enjoys the benefit of a front axle lift system. The interior is beautifully finished in leather with carbon fibre detailing, again using a blend of familiar Porsche switchgear and custom Ruf items such as the seats and steering wheel. Around 30 Ruf CTR3s were produced, with a further seven sold in Clubsport specification. This particular Ruf CTR3 Clubsport is believed to be the only right-hand drive example in existence. Built in 2013, it was originally supplied through Ruf Singapore and immediately was put into storage. The car was shipped to the UK in 2017 and again placed immediately into storage, and is now offered for sale with only 46 miles covered from new. As one would expect, the Ruf is in 'as new' condition throughout, representing an exciting acquisition for any significant private collection.Should the vehicle remain in the EU, VAT of 20% will be payable on the hammer price and buyer's premium.For further information on this lot please visit Bonhams.com

2005 Ferrari F430 F1 SpiderRegistration no. RX55 LXZChassis no. ZFFEZ59C00144647*Rare and desirable soft-top Ferrari*F1-type automated manual transmission*Numerous desirable options*Circa 27,500 miles from newFootnotes:Introduced in 2004 at the Paris Motor Show, the F430 was the latest in the line of V8-engined Ferrari road cars that had begun back in 1973 with the 308 GT4. The F430 was a development of the preceding F360, sharing the latter's aluminium chassis, roofline, doors and window glass, though the body itself had been extensively revised. Styled, as usual, by Pininfarina, the F430 body generated greater downforce without the penalty of increased aerodynamic drag. In styling the F430, Pininfarina referenced some of Ferrari's other great cars, using the Enzo's tail lights and a Testarossa-style driver's-side mirror, while the twin front air intakes recalled the Tipo 156 Formula 1 car of 1961. The open Spider version featured an electrically operated retractable roof, capable of folding away beneath the rear deck in only 20 seconds, while the fully leather trimmed interior - a visual feast - could be ordered with either aluminium or carbon fibre embellishment to customer choice. Beneath the F430's transparent engine cover there was an entirely new 32-valve V8 power unit displacing 4.3 litres. More compact than its predecessor, this new engine developed a maximum of 483bhp, while 80% of the 343lb/ft of torque was available below 3,500 revs, quite an achievement for a normally aspirated engine. A traditional manual transmission was still available but most buyers opted for the F1-style paddle shift version. One of the F430's more significant developments was the 'E-Diff', a computer-controlled limited-slip differential. As Autocar explained: 'with this much power it's quite possible to come to a turn too fast, but in sports mode the diff and its electronics maintain traction, minimise understeer, and assist in the creation of that fast-flowing fluency that keen drivers dream of.' And the F430 was certainly fast, with a top speed in excess of 315km/h (196mph) and a 0-100km/h (0-62mph) time of around 4.0 seconds. Helping keep this outstanding performance under control were Brembo brakes and their associated Bosch electronics package. Carbon ceramic discs were an option. Finished in Grigio Titanio Metallic with beige leather interior, Nero carpets and Nero soft-top, this F430 F1 Spider comes equipped with aluminium dashboard inserts; instrument panel in yellow; aluminium brake callipers; Scuderia Ferrari shields; electric seats; high-power hi-fi with subwoofer and 6-CD changer; and a NavTrak anti-theft system. The sound system has since been modified to provide Bluetooth connectivity. Importantly the car is supplied with its original book pack, with regular servicing which confirms the mileage. A wonderful and cherished example.For further information on this lot please visit Bonhams.com

One owner from new2005 Mercedes-Benz SLR McLaren CoupéRegistration no. WV05 GNZChassis no. WDD 199 3761 M000524*Exclusive, limited edition supercar*2,880 miles from new*Full service history with McLaren BrooklandsFootnotes:Manufactured between 2003 and 2010, their new supercar allowed Mercedes-Benz and its then Formula 1 partner McLaren to showcase their collective experience in the development, construction and production of high-performance sports cars and, just like its legendary 300 SLR predecessor of 1955, it incorporated technological developments that were ahead of their time. Yet the term 'supercar' does not do full justice to the SLR, which, its peerless performance notwithstanding, is a luxurious and finely engineered Gran Turismo in the best traditions of Mercedes-Benz. The heart of any car is its engine, and that of the SLR McLaren is truly outstanding. Produced at Mercedes-Benz's AMG performance division, it is a 5.5-litre, 24-valve, supercharged V8 producing 617bhp, making it one of the most powerful engines ever found in a series-produced road-going sports car. Impressive though this peak horsepower figure is, it is the torque produced by this state-of-the-art 'blown' motor that is its most remarkable feature. The torque curve is almost flat: there is already 440lb/ft by 1,500 rpm and well over 500lb/ft between 3,000 and 5,000 revs. As Car & Driver magazine observed: 'This lends mind-boggling elasticity to the SLR, with passing performance that has to be felt to be appreciated.' In the interests of maximum fuel efficiency, the screw-type compressor is controlled by the engine management system and only activated when the driver floors the accelerator. Needless to say, the SLR McLaren delivers performance figures that are still among the best in its class; taking just 3.8 seconds to sprint from 0 to 100km/h (62mph), it passes the 200km/h (125mph) mark after 10.6 seconds and from a standing start takes just 28.8 seconds to reach 300km/h (186mph). The two-seater has a top speed of 334km/h (207 mph).A front-engined layout was chosen in the interests of optimum weight distribution, handling dynamics and braking stability, the motor's dry-sump lubrication system enabling it to be mounted lower in the chassis. The five-speed automatic transmission was specially optimised for very high torque and also offers the driver the option of choosing between different shift characteristics using the Speedshift system.Reflecting the long-term technological collaboration that Mercedes-Benz and McLaren enjoyed in Formula 1, the SLR's carbon fibre composite monocoque body/chassis structure was produced in the latter's then all-new facility in Woking, England. Clearly showing its Formula 1 parentage, the suspension is by means of double wishbones all round. The power-assisted rack-and-pinion steering is speed sensitive, while the SLR's Sensotronic Brake Control (SBC) and Electronic Stability Program (ESP) enable its sporting nature to shine through while maintaining the usual safety standards. The pioneering use of composite technology has also been extended to the brake discs, which are manufactured from a fibre-reinforced ceramic material capable of withstanding extremely high temperatures and offering a level of fade resistance hitherto unattainable in series-produced road cars. Topping off this technological tour de force is the electronically controlled rear spoiler, which rises to an angle of 65 degrees when the driver brakes heavily, boosting the braking effect by increasing aerodynamic drag and lending the SLR outstanding stability when braking from high speeds. The Mercedes-Benz SLR McLaren was launched in South Africa and introduced for the 2005 model year priced at $455,000, although choosing from the lengthy list of options could add considerably to the total. Finished in black with red leather interior, and equipped with 19' Turbine wheels, this superb example was first registered on 14th April 2005 and has had only one owner from new. Offered with ten expired MoTs, a V5C document, fresh MoT and full service history with McLaren Brooklands, it represents a rare opportunity to acquire a low-mileage example of this exclusive, limited edition supercar.For further information on this lot please visit Bonhams.com
