Porsche RUF CTR3 - The Third Generation CTR

CTR3 is the third generation model of the CTR and it is tuned by RUF, the famous German tuning house. The record-setting 700 horsepower energy output and an awesome 235mph speed entitle the CTR3 to be called as the fastest Porsche on offer. The 3.8-liter flat-6 engine of the new Porsche is powered with a twin-turbo and has a displacement of 229 cu in. The power 700bhp is available at 7000rpm and it produces a torque of 657 lb-ft.

The body of the latest CTR is recreated by the RUF’s aluminum and carbon-fiber fittings. The new fittings, thus, reduces the weight of this sporty model considerably making its function more smooth on the roads. The lattice tubing space frame that is applied in its body work is another important feature that contributed for the weight reduction.

The six-speed sequential manual gearbox is responsible for the top speed achieved by this super model. It can achieve acceleration from 0-62 mph in a span of 3.2 seconds. The body of CTR3 has got an elegant sporty look with its vented roof, the aerodynamic front and the flattened rear. The body appearance alone will catch the attention of the car aficionado all over the world. On the other hand, the interior looks sanguine with more red added in each component of it.

It was exactly 20 years back the original CTR was launched, and since then, the CTR has been known for beating many of its competitors. The story of CTR3 is not going to be different at all, according to Porsche and RUF.

The base price of CTR3 is fixed as $510,000. Are you ready?

I think that price is still reasonable for a car like that. Half a million for something that demonstrate tastes and power. If it was any cheaper, people would see lots of them in the street.
