Default 1990 Carrera 4 RUF CTR 'yellow bird'

from Sloan:

RARE 1 of 2 Carrera 4 RUF CTRs built!

This car was built by RUF from the ground up as a genuine Yellow Bird and represents the last CTR made on the 964 platform. The legendary 'Yellow bird' CTR motor in set up in this car to produce 550HP with 505 ft.lbs of torque. Thanks to a custom RUF 6-speed transmission and a RUF developed all-wheel-drive system (NOT the stock Porsche 964 C4 system) this car is capable of 0-60 in less than 3 seconds with a top speed over 200MPH.

Just curious whether this is the same car that was for sale by RPM a while ago:

That 0-60 time is so ridiculous. Want levels are off the charts.

Edit - why doesn't it have the ruf center panel though?

Nice car, although it's not yellow nor a narrow body and the tailgate is unnecessarily large as there's no need for added intercooler space....fat white bird! ;-)

Might it be more to do with aero than engine bay space? Yes you can get a tea tray turbo spoiler that has almost the same lip but less "depth" but maybe that extra depth helps?

That said I kinda agree, unless you are often 180+ I'd prefer something a little less carols fandango
