RUF is famous for making Porsche's, which are already as sharp when they come from the factory, into Double-edged samurai swords.
They have now come with a Porsche based supercar, with figures that can match any Ferrari, Lamborghini or even the Pagani's.

Powered by a 700 hp twin turbocharged Porsche six, the new CTR 3 has a top speed of 235 mph and a 0-62 mph time of 3.2 seconds

Based on the Cayman actually. Which is frankly, the better platform. Doesn't have the dynamic compromise that the 911 has.

It is good to see tuners bring out the best from the Cayman platform which had so much talent but got held back by its makers so as to not outshine its older sibling the 911.
 
Well one things for sure - you won't be reverse parking in this car.

I personally think it takes after the Porsche Carerra GT.. nice car in other words. I hope they give it to Top Gear to thrash!
