    Ruf Ctr3

    Exactly 20 years after we saw the original CTR, German tuning house RUF has announced the introduction of its third generation CTR3 coinciding with the launch of its new plant in Bahrain. The latest version will be based on the Porsche Cayman and like the original, the CTR3 will be one of the fastest Porsches on offer when it’s released.

    Starting with the Porsche Cayman body, RUF has utilized racing technologies first seen on its 911-based RT12 offering. Powering the CTR3 is a twin-turbo 3.8L flat six engine pumping out 700hp at 7,000rpm with torque topping out at 890Nm. To save weight its developers added several unique body panels made from lightweight aluminum and carbon-fiber as well as a new lattice tubing spaceframe. Drive is sent to the wheels via a rumoured seven-speed sequential automatic gearbox that’s said to allow the CTR3 to reach a top speed of 360km/h.

    When the original CTR was released in 1987, it out-performed many of the supercars of its era including cars like the Ferrari F40, Lamborghini Countach and even Porsche’s own 959. The CTR3 is set to do the same but won’t come cheap as pricing is expected to fall around the €300,000 mark.

    it's based on the 911 not on the cayman, the back end is a self construction of RUF, like the gearbox, which can handle 1200 nm/656 lb-ft cause of it's special rumored seven-speed sequential gearbox construction style.

    Wow, it looks like a Koenisegg (or however you spell it ) got crossed with a Carrera GT. Looks like the insane Cayman that Porsche never decided to unleash. I knew there was potential in there somewhere.

    bit too much of an obvious after-market bodykit.

    Sorry if I cannot express myself correctly, but I don't know English as good as I want, so my answers will probably be the same in many cases.

    Look, its a mini Carrera GT! xD just kidding It gives me a good impression, though those six holes on the rear window are a bit ugly in my opinion.

    I think that it's very good looking. I'd have mine with a proper manual if that's an option.
