Who or what is RUF?
RUF is a bespoke tuning company with more than 75 years of automobile experience. A father and son business that flourished into many different variations of your favorite car manufacturer, Porsche. They often take your run of the mill Porsche and upgrade everything from the motor to aerodynamics, wheels, interior, badging and more.
CTR3
You may be wondering what the abbreviation, CTR3 means. It stands for Group C Turbo Ruf, 3. When you think of Porsches, you almost always think of the numbers associated with the different models. (911, 993, etc.) Regarding the CTR models, these are specifically enhanced sports cars tuned by RUF Automobile of Germany. The CTR3 was released 20 years after the original RUF CTR and 12 years after the RUF CTR2. What's different about this one is that it isn't using the traditional rear engine layout like the models before it. What's more is that this time, the tuning house collaborated with Multimatic - a Canadian company providing engineering components. Fun fact: This is the same company who assembled the Ford GT!
