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:
“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)
“The child to be concerned about is the one who is actively unhappy, [in school].... In the long run, a child’s emotional development has a far greater impact on his life than his school performance or the curriculum’s richness, so it is wise to do everything possible to change a situation in which a child is suffering excessively.”
—Dorothy H. Cohen (20th century)
“What avails it that you are a Christian, if you are not purer than the heathen, if you deny yourself no more, if you are not more religious? I know of many systems of religion esteemed heathenish whose precepts fill the reader with shame, and provoke him to new endeavors, though it be to the performance of rites merely.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
