The number 211 still carries weight at RUF. The RUF Ehra reaches the same 211-mph figure that made the original CTR famous in 1987, but reshapes the idea as an all-weather grand tourer rather than a narrow-body speed-record projectile.

Its name refers to Volkswagen’s Ehra-Lessien test facility, where the CTR established that benchmark. Beneath the familiar silhouette is RUF’s proprietary carbon-fiber monocoque rather than a converted Porsche shell, a distinction shared with the brand’s Rodeo concept and recent carbon-chassis cars.

Carbon bodywork grows roughly two inches wider at each end than the CTR Anniversary, while a deployable rear spoiler preserves the clean fastback profile at lower speeds.

A 3.6-liter twin-turbo flat-six produces 650 PS and 664 lb-ft at 3,500 rpm. The unusual pairing is a seven-speed manual with variable all-wheel drive that can be disengaged, allowing the car to trade maximum traction for rear-drive behavior.

RUF quotes 0–62 mph in 3.3 seconds and a curb weight of 2,921 pounds. Inside, brown leather, titanium pedals, green instruments, and patterned seat inserts keep screens from dominating the cabin.

The German manufacturer has not disclosed pricing, production volume, or delivery timing. The Ehra was presented at The Quail during Monterey Car Week and is available by direct inquiry, placing it firmly in RUF’s low-volume commissioning process.
