RM Sotheby"s Monaco auction is shaping up to be quite a thing. Alongside countless priceless and historically significant classics there"s the first-ever Ferrari Sergio, which is expected to fetch a staggering 3million, and the weirdly wonderful Ferrari Conciso Concept by German modder Michalak Design. There"s also this one of a mere seven RUF CTR3 Clubsports ever made. Unlike most other RUFs it"s not based wholesale on a Porsche 911, but a bespoke platform developed by RUF and Multimatic the company responsible for assembly of the Ford GT. The engine is a 3.8-litre Porsche flat-six naturally mounted midship (the CTR3 is about the length of a 911, but its wheelbase is 11in longer) and fitted with a pair of KKK turbochargers for 777bhp and 722lb ft. Power is sent to the rear wheels via a seven-speed dual-clutch gearbox. The suspension is a mix of Porsche 997 and bits of RUF"s own development.
