x2. Ruf still uses an iteration of that same wheel design on their new cars.

Awesome car.

VW remains the "Peoples car"... but the "Peoples" need to bring more money (das loot?).

Later models of the CTR did not have the intake above the rear wheel arches (as can be seen in the components picture). It was deemed not as effective as they thought it might be, and swapped to an air feed from underneath the car.

Also, some models had carbon-fibre front wings, doors and hood (which was otherwise aluminium).

The YouTube clip someone posted above is a section of a video Ruf made called 'Faszination'. Full video here:

I know there are other tuning companies synonomous to porsche, but there isn't a better emoticon to describe a Ruf Porsche than this:

Technically, a Ruf is not a Porsche .

Most of its performance numbers are still fairly impressive today.

Ruf's main goal when building the CTR was that it was made to be faster than the 959. This is part of the reason why they used a Carrera body instead of the wider Turbo. More narrow tires hurts acceleration, but the slim body helps top speed

True, but they do start with a Porsche shell. From there, I think thats where the similarities end

i love everything RUF.

edit, yeah i see its a gembella, i was just looking at the name of the picture.
