Call this throwback saturday or whatever you want, but this is a RUF CTR3 Clubsport, and it’s here simply because it looks awesome! This car is one of the most successful and enduring conversion programs by any tuner ever, especially the 2014 version which comes with styling and performance tweaks.
RUF CTR3 Clubsport is a mishmash of parts from different Porsche models and RUF’s own bespoke parts. It uses the Cayman’s mid-engine chassis but the 3.8 liter engine 911 engine. Nothing is of course standard on the CTR3. Every single panel inside and out is modified and exaggerated a bit.
The 777 horsepower, 700,000 Euros RUF CTR3 Clubsport could be considered as an alternative to the Porsche Carrera GT, if you can’t get your hand on one of those. Only the RUF is even more exclusive.
