Αν και τεράστιος φαν της F40 (έχω και μινιατούρα της) δεν θα έλεγα ότι είναι "πολύ κλαιν" αλλά αρκετά ισάξια, ασχέτως αν δεν ήταν καθαρόαιμο Porsche, αλλά από το εργοστάσιο της RUF. The CTR could wholly outperform most other supercars of the time, including the Ferrari Testarossa and Lamborghini Countach. In addition, despite being slower to 60 miles per hour, it also had a higher top speed than the Ferrari F40 and Porsche 959, regularly considered the benchmark performance cars of the 1980s. It was also a highly competent track vehicle, and for several years the CTR held the lap record at the Nurburgring-Nordschleife track, generally considered the most difficult and demanding circuit in the world and the standard test course for all high-end performance vehicles.
