You’ve got to be kidding me….. The slotted rear window cover is the TACKIEST thing i’ve ever seen!!!!
Only car that looks good with the slotted rear window cover is 1970 Ford Mustang Boss.

Uber Porsche. It’s one mean German. I dig the rear window cover myself, and I love the overall shape. Not too fond of the red interior w/ the diamond pattern. But I still love the car. This would make a sweet Gumball car.

I like it. Pure sex! Now, I’m just waiting for some dumb ass to say “the interior has too much cheap looking hard plastic and should be upgraded”.

If you look carefully, I think the “window cover” is an engine cover. Note the air intake and the absence of rear view mirror. Nevertheless, it does’t look carefully thought out and engineered like RUF is know for. Maybe they should have used covers more like on the CGT?

an RV camera is pretty likely… with no vearview and the nav system in place. This is the first RUF that has not knocked me out of the park

I think the important thing here is that its the first CTR that’s not based off the 911. It’s also the first CTR which is mid-engined meaning that CTR recognizes that the rear-engine design is not optimal for performance.
+1 for the cayman then.
…by the way the brakes on this thing (15 inches) are as large as the wheels on my car….yikes!

To be honest between Porsche super cars, if i got to pick one it would be neither this or CGT. Classic 959 for me.

I like the slotted rear windscreen / engine cover; it reminds me of the Audi Rosemeyer concept. The rear deck is very ill-proportioned though, and turns me right off.
basicshape, I’ve just sent the office boy down to Starbucks, and it looks like I might need to stock up on some extra strength johnnies and replenish the KY, because if it was my money the Carrera GT would be my choice of the uber sports cars.

Leave the Porsches to Porsche. This car looks like a car the company ditched for the Carrera GT. Good try though, needs a back window.

Amazing car! A car that like needs wheels with more character. Those looks like the Sport Edition winter wheels I bought 5 years ago.

700hp, CGT+ Performance, 3.1s 0-60 all for 500,000 American Dollars (only about 60k more than a CGT) and about 160,000 dollars less than an Enzo brand new years ago and from Porsche and RUF 2 of the most respected German companies in the world… I’LL TAKE 2!!!

i wouldn’t say it’s better than a “pos” Enzo bc an Enzo is not a pos… the Ferrari Enzo is an amazing car, but it is a car that is different…

The styling is a bit “love it or hate it”, but 700hp? Plus, it’s a RUF so it should be pretty capable at haulin’ ass.
