Continuing the Ruf tradition of enhancing Porsche automobiles, the CTR3 shares both the body panels and engine from Porsche. For the first time, however, it features a Ruf designed body. Built out of steel, aluminum, and kevlar-carbon, the car altogether weighs 1,375 kg (3,030 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 (691 hp) at 7,000 rpm, and has a maximum torque of 890 N·m (660 lb·ft).
As for performance, the CTR3 has a top speed of approximately 375 km/h (233 mph), and accelerates from 0–100 km/h in 3.1 seconds.
