This 1989 Ruf CTR 'Yellowbird' will be offered through Gooding & Company at its 2025 Amelia Island Auctions next month.
The interior features the basic Porsche 911 RS vinyl trim, as well as Recaro Clubsport racing seats and a full roll cage.
The air-cooled, 3.4-liter flat-six engine makes a claimed 463 hp and 408 ft lbs of torque.
This CTR 'Yellowbird' is one of just six built to lightweight spec—with alloy body panels—and one of four equipped with a Ruf-designed six-speed manual gearbox.
One of the most appealing features of the car is that it only shows 1,673 kilometers (1,039.5 miles) on the odometer.
The car presents a redesigned rear bumper below the trademark 911 Turbo picnic-tray rear wing.
Also included is the original invoice, along with the books, tools, and accessory items that came with the car.
Gooding & Company is counting on the car's rare spec and immaculate condition to deliver on that 'in excess of $6 million' estimate next month.

(NASDAQ: MULN) ('Mullen' or the 'Company'), an electric vehicle ('EV') manufacturer, announces today that the Company has successfully acquired an additional 21% of Bollinger Motors, Inc. ('Bollinger') bringing its total ownership to 95%. This strategic transaction increases shareholder equity by approximately $3.5 million and reinforces Mullen's long-term vision for Bollinger and its dedication to current and future customers. Mullen resolved recent claims and debt that had led to a court-ordered receivership for Bollinger. The court in that action has entered an order discharging and removing the receiver, as well as dismissing the case with prejudice, ensuring Bollinger's continued operations under Mullen's complete ownership and strategic direction. Bollinger will continue to operate as an independent majority subsidiary, maintaining its own brand identity and focus. All existing and future Bollinger customers can expect business as usual, with full backing and comprehensive coverage on sales, service, and warranty for their Bollinger vehicles. 'This is an important moment for both Mullen Automotive and Bollinger Motors,' said David Michery, CEO and chairman of Mullen Automotive and Bollinger Motors. 'Our investment in acquiring the vast majority of remaining shares and resolving certain significant outstanding debt demonstrates our belief in and continued commitment to Bollinger's vehicle lineup and future.' The Bollinger B4 Chassis Cab is an all-new, all-electric Class 4 commercial truck designed from the ground up with extensive fleet and upfitter input. Bollinger's unique Quad-Bend chassis design protects the 158-kWh battery pack and components to offer unparalleled capability, maneuverability, and safety in the commercial market. The vehicle has a 185-mile range, 46-foot turning radius and a payload of 7,325 pounds, making it ideal for a variety of urban operations. Bollinger will continue to focus on the development and production of the B4 platform, leveraging Mullen's resources and expertise to accelerate its progress.

Jaguar's Europe Sales Stall As Shift To Electric-Only Lineup Begins
For a brand with the prestige of Jaguar, its new vehicle registrations in Europe for April 2025 make for truly painful reading. Just 49 - yes, forty-nine - new Jaguars were registered across the pond throughout April, representing a decline of 97.5%; a year ago, 1,961 Jaguar models were registered in the same month in Europe, according to the European Automobile Manufacturers' Association. These sales include those from Jaguar's home market, the UK. Without the benefit of context, it appears to be one of the most unfathomable declines from a major brand in recent automotive history. However, this drastic drop in sales in a key region doesn't necessarily spell the end for Jaguar. This is the general state of mind at Jaguar as it embarks on a path to release a fully electric lineup of vehicles, while also pushing deeper into the ultra-luxury segment. Jaguar has elected not to gently transition into an all-EV lineup. Instead, the vast majority of Jag's gas-fed models have been discontinued, including the XF sedan (which ceased production midway through 2024). At around the same time, the XE sedan and F-Type sports car were discontinued. Without cars to sell, it figures that sales will fall off a cliff. Adrian Mardell, Jaguar CEO, previously stated that the brand's range of current models resulted in "close to zero profitability," according to Automotive News. This explains why culling nearly the whole lineup wasn't as drastic as it seems. By accepting this dramatic decline in sales, Jaguar can fully focus on its next chapter, and what a chapter it looks to be. Jaguar was almost universally panned when it revealed its new brand identity late last year. Everything - from the font to the logo, colors, and themes - were derided, and all bore little resemblance to the brand's consistent look and feel up to that point. The initial rebrand had virtually no focus on cars, further alienating Jag loyalists, and phrases like "copy nothing" and "create exuberant" failed to strike a chord with gearheads in any meaningful way. Jaguar isn't oblivious to the backlash. According to a report by the The Telegraph last month, the British automaker is already hunting for a new advertising agency to replace Accenture Song. The latter is responsible for last year's campaign, but Jaguar seems to want to replace the agency sooner rather than later, despite a contract being in place until mid-2026. This was followed by the reveal of the Type 00 concept car, a first look at what we can expect from Jaguar's EV future. With flush surfaces and dramatic touches like a glassless rear tailgate, it looks nothing like any other Jaguar we've seen. Jaguar's first production car under the rebrand will be an electric four-door GT, set to be revealed in late 2025 before reaching showrooms next year. Targeting the likes of Bentley and Rolls-Royce with an imposing design and deluxe interior, it remains to be seen how far upmarket the Jaguar brand can go, and this will be the model to answer that question. While Jaguar alone undergoes an expected lull as part of its transformation, Jaguar Land Rover has posted £2.5 billion (around $3.39 billion) in profits for FY25, a record result. These promising numbers have, of course, been spearheaded by Land Rover, a brand that has a reliably consistent lineup at present. The stability of the Land Rover brand allows JLR to take its time with the Jaguar relaunch, even if that means selling shockingly few vehicles in the interim. All things considered, Jaguar's dismal European sales in April 2025 aren't as unnerving as they initially appear. Without cars to sell, sales will plummet, and Jaguar seems to have anticipated this. The brand has gone too far in a new direction to turn back now, and is betting on an exclusively EV future at a time when many automakers have reined in their plans to move to a fully electric lineup. The arrival of Jag's grand production EV in 2026 will confirm whether or not the gamble has paid off. Copyright 2025 The Arena Group, Inc. All Rights Reserved.

Worksport Surpasses Monthly Sales Record in April on Strong AL4 Performance
AL4 Drives 40% of Sales Within Weeks of Launch; Application Rollout Nearing Completion with Significant Growth Expected to Continue West Seneca, New York--(Newsfile Corp. - June 2, 2025) - Worksport Ltd. (NASDAQ: WKSP) ('Worksport' or the 'Company'), a U.S. based manufacturer and innovator of hybrid and clean energy solutions for the light truck, overlanding, and global consumer goods sectors, is excited to announce record-high April sales totaling about $1.22 million, with its premium AL4 tonneau cover accounting for approximately 40% of total product sales-a milestone achievement for a product that launched just weeks earlier. As of the end of April 2025, 80% of the AL4 product line-20 out of 25 planned models-has been successfully rolled out. With only five additional models remaining to complete a full application lineup, Worksport anticipates the line's growth trajectory to continue accelerating through Q2 and beyond. Dealer adoption of the AL4 has also shown encouraging momentum, following a classic snowball pattern where initial sample orders often lead to expanded, repeatable purchases from new dealer accounts. 'The AL4's performance just weeks after availability exceeded our internal expectations of uptake, and validates the significant market demand for American-made, premium tonneau covers,' said Steven Rossi, Chief Executive Officer of Worksport Ltd. 'Its success is already being felt in both our dealer and direct-to-consumer channels. We believe this is only the beginning, with more SKUs on the way and a strong dealer reorder cycle emerging.' Management notes that the AL4's rapid uptake is a key contributor to the Company's strengthening revenue base, driven by its blend of durability, user-centric features, and competitive pricing. Manufactured in Worksport's state-of-the-art U.S. facility using over 90% domestic content, the AL4 continues to differentiate itself from foreign-sourced alternatives that often lack the quality and margin profile desired by Worksport's growing network of dealers. Looking ahead, the Company expects Q2 revenue to notably surpass Q1 results, driven by the AL4 ramp-up, expanding B2B dealer relationships, and continued strength in e-commerce. Management also anticipates stronger revenue acceleration in Q3 and Q4, as Worksport prepares to introduce its upcoming clean-tech innovations-the SOLIS solar-integrated tonneau cover and the COR portable power system-later in 2025. Worksport believes the combination of a robust tonneau cover business and emerging clean-tech product pipeline positions the Company for substantial growth, expanding margins, and enhanced shareholder value in the quarters ahead.
