Vroooooom, 1997 Porsche Ruf CTR2 Sport for Sale
So you like to go fast huh! Fast is a relative term, are we talking 300 hp or 1,000 hp fast? That is a wide range in speed and an even more broad difference in cost. Speed is expensive, and gobs of horsepower is downright ridiculous in cost.
Speaking of downright ridiculous, a super rare 1997 Porsche Ruf CTR2 Sport has hit the market. This is one of 17 cars built back in 1997 that boasts 580 hp and 0-60 times under four seconds. That is world class performance from an all-wheel drive car that is tame enough to driven anywhere.
1997 Porsche Ruf CTR2 Sport for Sale:
From the seller’s ad -
“580HP 0-60 in 3.6 seconds. This is the fastest car I’ve ever ridden in. This car has 8k original miles.
We have the opportunity to offer the fastest production car in the world in 1997. The ultra rare Porsche Ruf CTR2 Sport ranks right up there with Ferrari’s F50 and Jaguar’s XJ220. The CTR2′s air-cooled engine whips out an impressive 580HP with 0-60 times under 4 seconds, and a blistering top speed of 217mph! There were only 16 of these street legal super cars made from 1995-1997 so you have a rare chance at owning a piece of automotive history.
Nothing matches the twin turbo power of this 500+ hp engine. This all-wheel drive sports car has a reported 0-60 (97 km/h) in 3.6 seconds, and a 0-100 mph (161 km/h) in only 7.8 sec! This is not only a beautifully designed work of art, it is also one, SUPER fast automobile.”
It is tough to ascertain a relative price point for a car this rare. But, compare the CTR to other super cars from Lamborghini, Ferrari, and Aston Martin and the $190k price tag seems very reasonable. That is as long as I am not writing the check.
