At the 2013 Frankfurt Motor Show Porsche finally premiered the production version of its 918 Spyder, it was a long-awaited display of Zuffenhausen’s technological (and political) advantage. This 770,000 Euro hybrid tech-fest on magnesium wheels impressed the automotive world with its dramatic design, and 700hp. But it could please the environmentally conscious too, its 72g/km CO2 emissions boasted more green credentials than any other model in Porsche history. At about the same time Alois Ruf introduced his CTR3 Clubsport – a perfected version of his highly acclaimed CTR3 supercar. It was the car the legendary Porsche tuner had dreamt of making for years, one that would finally allow him to be seen as a genuine car manufacturer – a title he had long deserved. Having built some of the fastest 911s in the world for more than thirty years, in 2008 Ruf was ready to bring to market a car based on his own engineering expertise.
