2017 RUF CTR

The first car engineered from the ground up by RUF is a faithful tribute to the original CTR. The rear-engine, rear-drive beast is powered by a twin-turbo dry sump 3.6-liter flat-six engine cranking out 700 horsepower and 649 lb-ft of torque. The only available transmission is a six-speed manual, and it's only available in rear-wheel drive, just like Yellow Bird. RUF claims a 0-62 mph sprint of just 3.5 seconds, and a top speed of 225.

The unique carbon fiber monocoque chassis features lightweight steel crash structures and an integrated steel roll cage, adding up to a dry weight of just 2640 lbs. The RUF-designed pushrod suspension system and 245-width front / 305-width rear tires on sensible 19-inch wheels ensure the newest CTR will stay planted in those high-speed sweepers.
