This is the 2018 Ruf CTR3 Clubsport (6024), which is a limited-production, mid-engined sports car produced by German car manufacturer Ruf Automobile. This particular example is finished in a color known as ‘Oak Green Metallic’ over a green leather interior with green stitching. Ruf Automobile GmbH is a German car manufacturer that engineers original vehicles using unmarked Porsche chassis, and was founded in 1939 by Alois Ruf Sr. as ‘Auto Ruf’. The CTR3 platform was developed in conjunction with the Canadian supplier Multimatic, and the model was designed by Bennett Soderberg. The Ruf-designed body, reminiscent of the Porsche 987 Cayman and Porsche 997.1 Turbo, is meant to depict vintage Le Mans race cars of the 1950s and 1960s. Ruf adopted the mid-engined layout of the the Porsche Cayman, and the chassis is a frame construction made with zinc-dipped steel, and billet aluminum by Multimatic that Ruf calls ‘the Birdcage’. The panels of the CTR3’s body are developed using kevlar-carbon composites. The standard CTR3 was produced from 2007 until the Clubsport’s introduction in 2012. In order to continue to Ruf tradition of enhancing Porsche automobiles, the CTR3 of course featured engine components and body styling similar to already existing Porsche’s. With the introduction of the Clubsport model came the arrival of an optional 7-speed Dual-clutch transmission, on top of a completely revised engine. 31 CTR3 examples are believed to have been built (although Ruf themselves say up to 50 examples were produced), however only a mere 7 CTR3’s are said to be ‘Clubsport’ variants featuring more power, more performance and overall a more aggressive design. The standard CTR3 is powered by a 3.7L twin-turbocharged flat-six engine that produces 691 horsepower. The CTR3 ‘Clubsport’ however, featured a revised version of the same engine with a power boost up to 766 horsepower.
