On the road in an icon—the first production Ruf CTR.

As human beings, we all recall moments of the past that changed the trajectories of our lives—memories of physical connection, tragedy, triumph, and awakening. When I got my driver’s license in New Jersey at age 17, my mother was cresting the peak of the Reagan economy. She soon bought a 964-gen 911, and she loved that car more than she loved me. The keys were off-­limits. But now and again, when she wasn’t looking, I’d power the car on S-turns right past the local police station.

You almost certainly know the CTR anyway from its presence in video games, most notably, the Gran Turismo series.“I remember reading that Road Track story in 1987,” Meyer said. “I could never have imagined, ever in my wildest dreams, that I would be a custodian of a CTR. I did not read that story thinking I wanted a CTR. I just thought, Isn’t that thing awesome?!”Meyer’s car spent most of its life in Japan before it was sent to Ruf for an engine overhaul and cosmetic refreshment.
