Ruf's Next Performance Car Will Have 1,000 HP. Here's Our First Look

Ruf Automobile is starting to develop its next generation of performance cars.

It is using a development prototype to validate the new technologies that will power future Ruf models.

The car has a twin-turbocharged 4.4-liter flat-eight engine making over 1,000 horsepower.

It’s been 50 years since Ruf Automobile launched its first tuned Porsche. Since then, the company has achieved legendary status thanks to the Ruf CTR Yellowbird and countless other bespoke creations. And the company has no plans of slowing down.

At this year’s Goodwood Festival of Speed, Ruf will publicly demonstrate the development prototype for its next generation of performance cars. It’s called the B8 Erprober, a lengthened CTR3 test vehicle designed to validate the new technologies that will power future Ruf models.
