2017 RUF CTR : This Rare Bird Won't Ride on a Porsche Chassis -What you're looking at right now the 2017 RUF CTR, which makes its debut at Geneva is a radical departure for a company so closely tied to Porsche.

Some past RUF creations have utilized more heavily modified Porsche chassis than others, including 2007's CTR3, which combined a Porsche front chassis with a custom rear subframe to make it a mid-engined car. But the 2017 CTR's non-Porsche chassis is new ground for the company.

The occasion is the 30th anniversary of the debut of the original CTR, the Yellowbird, which was a heavily reworked Porsche 911 Carrera with twin turbochargers. As we mentioned last week, its performance was superlative, slightly slower to 60 mph than a Porsche 959 but with a higher top speed, according to Car and Driver period test results. There's not necessarily much about the Yellowbird that informs the new CTR, other than twin-turbocharging and to demonstrate what the company can do.

The new CTR certainly sounds impressive. At its core is a carbon fiber monocoque structure, which is a RUF job. Attached to the monocoque are steel crash structures front and rear. The lightweight chassis allows the finished car to have a dry weight of 2,640 pounds – what the more commonly understood curb weight will be isn't clear. Unlike the CTR3, RUF claims the '17 CTR will be a rear-engine layout.
