2017 RUF CTR

Hey, who parked the old Porsche in the middle of the show? Actually this is an all-new car designed and built by German Porsche tuner RUF as a tribute to its 1987 Yellowbird 911, which was the fastest car in the world at the time. Underneath its old-school style bodywork lurks a high tech carbon fiber chassis with an integrated steel roll cage and crumple zones. It's powered by a 700 hp 3.6-liter flat six that RUF says is good for a 225 mph top speed, beating the original's 213 mph mark. Thirty examples will be made to celebrate the anniversary at a price that's yet to be announced, but will surely be high enough to rival its top speed. (RUF)

'Best of both worlds' was probably their original intention.
Because ME262's got shot down loitering around airports all the time. Jets were vulnerable creatures.

FWIW the Soviet I-250 also had some drama involved during production and flopped.
