Performance
A curb weight of only 2,535 pounds (1,150 kg) combined with the CTR's high power output made for fantastic performance; 0-60 mph in 3.7 seconds, 0-100 mph in 7.8 seconds, 0-125 mph in 11.4 seconds and a top speed of 211 mph (340 km/h).
The CTR could wholly outperform most other high performance cars 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.

Famous quotes containing the word performance:
“Still be kind,
And eke out our performance with your mind.”
—William Shakespeare (1564–1616)
“Having an identity at work separate from an identity at home means that the work role can help absorb some of the emotional shock of domestic distress. Even a mediocre performance at the office can help a person repair self-esteem damaged in domestic battles.”
—Faye J. Crosby (20th century)
“True balance requires assigning realistic performance expectations to each of our roles. True balance requires us to acknowledge that our performance in some areas is more important than in others. True balance demands that we determine what accomplishments give us honest satisfaction as well as what failures cause us intolerable grief.”
—Melinda M. Marshall (20th century)
