I'm not that keen on any Porsche really because they just don't have anything that makes you go WOW. They don't sound impressive when going around town (unlike a Ferrari for example) and they don't look like anything differnt/special (like a lambo) and if I was going to be spending that much on a car I would want people to notice.
However that RUF is really nice. The back-end is really nice much more suitable to that type of car.
BTW I saw a Ariel Atom on the road yesterday, it's really suited to the track. It just looks so out of place on the road, especially when the guy is going down a cobbled road and his head is bouncing like a nodding dog!
RUF will kill you if you call it a porsche, most of their cars bear a resemblance to their porsche underpinnings, but the vast majority of the oily bits are RUFs own, and in the case of this CTR3, the body is too.
RUF went for a sequential box. If that is as crap as the one Sabine had in her Porsche on the ring (vs the Caterham) that would be enough for me not to buy this one! (err )
Was an outrageous car. 470hp, twin turbo, 1150kg, somewhat 'oversteery' if you wanted... That in 1987 where it in some ways outperformed and matched track pace of a F40.
It looks understated, just a 911 really.. but man was it incredibly insane at the time.
Since then, cars have gotten more outrageous and there isn't as much to improve / make more insane about todays top models. The point of RUF / AMG etc is just not as obvious as it was in the old days. Porsche has that new orange GT3 (?) which is sublime.. They have the Carrera GT which probably can't be improved..
It looks ok in a novel way, like the Dodge Viper did when it came out. That hood on the back, though, has a reflectivity that looks a little cheap. The difference with the rest of the bodywork makes it look improvised.
