the title of world’s fastest production vehicle. Wanting an ultra-high performance
|
|
model to remain among the company offerings, alois Ruf Jr., the company
|
|
owner, followed up the original with a CTR2 in 1995, based on the then-new
|
|
993- chassis 911 Turbo. Priced at 315.000,- USD, the CTR2 featured
|
|
standard all-wheel-drive, Recaro racing seats with Simpson five-point belts,
|
|
enlarged brakes, an integrated roll-cage, a Ruf manufactured coil-over
|
|
suspension system and a Kevlar body with lightweight glass. Power came from a
|
|
Ruf tuned version of the Porsche built 3.6 Litre, twin-turbocharged flat-six
|
|
engine producing 520 bhp (388 KW) and 505 foot-pounds (685 NM) of torque.
|
|
A later version of the same engine would bump the power output to 580 bhp
|
|
(433 KW).
|
|
Capable of running from 0-60 mph in under 3.5 seconds and hitting a top speed
|
|
in excess of 220 miles per hour (354 km/h), the CTR2 was one of the fastest
|
|
production vehicles in the world, capable of performing on-par with Ferrari’s F 50
|
|
and Jaguar’s XJ 220. The one million dollar McLaren F1 was the only production
|
|
car at the time which performed better under testing.
