Ruf Ctr3

Nice looking car. that also reminds me, who ever seen the History Channel special about the AutoBahn? and if you did seen it, that RUF segment made my jaws drop. Because the way RUF test cars. i remember just watching the tachmeter keep going and going made me wonder when it will hit top mph lol.

Hot, it looks like the right rear fender has a dent on it though in the first picture. Maybe just the light angle.

RUF is the bomb! Anyone here seen the "Faszination" video? The Yellowbird drifting all over the Nurburgring at sick speeds, one of the coolest things I have ever seen.

Thats still not final. There are still some changes to come post more testing i believe. If the RT12 is any indication, this thing could have much more than 700 hp.

RUF CTR3 Pics

Attached are the RUF CTR3 pics that were debuted in Bahrain. As you can see, it is pretty much an elongated Cayman. If you would like to know more about the car, visit this direct link to RUF in Germany. These are different pictures than the ones displayed because they were sent to me from RUF Auto Centre's owner in Dallas (we are family friends with them). So yeah, the car is pretty tight. I think its supposed to be roughly half a million.

From what Autoblog reported the CTR3 shares only taillamps with the Cayman.

At first glance I loved it but some of the pictures don't look good.

Yeah, except for the chassis that came from porsche, obviously the cayman. when i talked to Alois Ruf when he was in Dallas at RUF Autocentre he told me about the RK COUPE that the only thing left on from the cayman is the left front fender, because they relocated the gas cap on the right side. Its obvious that they use the same head and tail lights.

it depends how you define it, whethere where the engine comes from or what car the chassis came from. from my knowledge, im assuming its the 3.8L. there you go, u decide.
