[edit] Model Information

The CTR3 was released 20 years after the original Ruf CTR, on April 11, 2007 at the Bahrain International Circuit in Sakhir, Bahrain where Ruf's new factory is located. Continuing the Ruf tradition of modifying Porsche automobiles, the CTR3 shares both the body panels and engine from Porsche. For the first time, however, it features an Ruf designed body. Built out of steel, aluminum, and kevlar-carbon, the car altogether weighs 1,475 kg (3,250 lb). The engine of the CTR3 is a Porsche derived 3.8 L flat-6 paired with twin KKK turbochargers; this means the CTR3 produces 515 kW, or 700 hp at 7,000 rpm, and has a maximum torque of 890 N·m (656 lbf·ft).

As for performance, the CTR3 has a top speed of approximately 375 km/h (235 mph), and accelerates from 0-100 km/h in 3.2 seconds.

As of April 2007 the CTR3 is priced at approximately €380,000 plus VAT, or over $510,000 USD.
