Six Favorites from RM Sotheby’s Upcoming Paris Sale

As part of the Retromobile festivities, RM Sotheby’s puts on a relatively intimate sale in Paris, showcasing an eclectic collection of cars ranging from all eras and nationalities. Compared to some other sales on RM’s docket, its Paris collection puts a subtle focus on uniqueness, rarity, design, and celebrity. Here are six standout cars from the upcoming sale.

1989 Ruf CTR Clubsport

Back in the 1980s, if you wanted a fast 911, you drove a 930 Turbo off the showroom floor. If you wanted the fastest  911, you boarded a plane to Pfaffenhausen and picked up a Ruf CTR. I suppose it’s a bit unfair to simply call the CTR the fastest 911—in reality, it was one of the fastest cars, ever. With a weapons-grade 3.2-liter twin-turbo flat-six pushing out a severely underrated 469 hp to the rear wheels, the CTR crested 211 mph during a test with Road  & Track back in 1987, cementing it as the fastest semi-production car for a few years.

Ruf only made about 60 CTRs, and they don’t often come up for sale. This stunning Mint Green example is a CTR conversion, originally starting life as a 3.2-liter Carrera. The conversion was completed in 1991, and changed hands multiple times until it finally came to rest in Japan in 1993, where it racked up an impressive 120,000 miles. It returned to Europe in 2015, where it received a handful of updates and repairs.
