History

Although the CTR Anniversary is similar in appearance to the Porsche 911, it is not actually based on a 911 body. The CTR Anniversary's chassis and body were designed and engineered by Vela Performance, in Berlin, Germany.[1] The car is assembled in the Ruf headquarters in Pfaffenhausen, Germany. A monocoque made of carbon fiber reinforced plastic with a screwed-on subframe made of tubular steel and light metal serves as the basis, while the body, which is styled after the Porsche 964, is made of a carbon fiber laminate. As a result, the dry weight of the vehicle is 1200abbr=onNaNabbr=on. The chassis consists of an in-house designed suspension using double wishbones and push rod actuated inboard springs & dampers. The new CTR is powered by a 3.6-litre water cooled twin-turbocharged flat-6 engine producing at 6,750 rpm and of torque from 2,750 to 4,000 rpm. The car is capable of accelerating from 0–1000NaN0 in under 3.5 seconds and can reach a top speed of . Power is sent to the rear wheels through a 7-speed manual gearbox and locking differential.[2] The car also sports retro components based on the original CTR such as the 'whale tail' rear wing five-spoke wheels, interior and the steering wheel. The CTR Anniversary is priced at 892,500 and only 50 examples are set to be produced.[3] [4] They have been produced in Pfaffenhausen since 2019.[5]
