For the first time, however, it features a Ruf-designed body built on a dedicated platform engineered in conjunction with Multimatic[6] and is particularly styled to reflect the visual feel of vintage Le Mans race cars of the 1950s and 1960s.

The flat-six engine is paired with KKK K24 twin-turbochargers and two air-to-air intercoolers.The CTR3 is equipped with a transversely mounted 6-speed sequential manual transmission.

The brakes are ventilated ceramic composite discs, with a diameter of 380mm each and utilizing six-piston aluminium calipers at the front and rear.

[9] Ruf unveiled the CTR3 Clubsport variant at the 2012 Geneva Motor Show as an evolution and replacement of the standard CTR3.

[13] Among these similarities are: engine (3.7L twin-turbo flat-six), transmissions (6-speed sequential manual and 7-speed PDK), suspension (MacPherson strut front and multi-link rear), wheels, tyres and brakes (255/35 ZR 19 for the front, 335/30 ZR 20 for the rear, 380mm carbon ceramic discs), weight (1,377 kg for the CTR3 and 1,380 kg for the Hypersport), and physical dimensions (height and length are within 35mm, wheelbase and width are identical at 2,625mm and 1,944mm respectively).

It also features tweaked bodywork, including new front and rear bumpers, and the Cayman taillights of previous CTR3 models being replaced with circular units.
