CTEK's Unveil of the Ruffian35

At the SEMA 2025 show, CTEK, a renowned leader in battery management solutions, once again stole the spotlight with its latest vehicle showcase. This year's star was the Ruffian Plymouth GT-1, an extraordinary blend of classic design and contemporary racing technology. The press conference held on November 4 in Central Hall marked yet another milestone in CTEK's legacy of showcasing remarkable automotive innovation.

A Fusion of History and Modernity

The Ruffian Plymouth GT-1 is not your typical hot rod. Built on a 1930s Plymouth chassis, this vehicle preserves the vintage soul while embracing modern-day engineering marvels. The car features carbon fiber components that not only enhance its aesthetic appeal but also improve performance. Chris Ashton, a key figure from Ruffian Cars, expressed the philosophy behind the build: "The Ruffian Plymouth GT-1 is what happens when you listen to the quiet whispers of the universe."

Technical Brilliance

Under the hood, the heart of the Ruffian is a Viper Gen IV V10 engine, lovingly transformed into a 9.0-liter powerhouse that churns out an impressive 803 horsepower and 741 lb-ft of torque. This extraordinary power is partnered with a Tick Performance 6-speed TR6060 transmission, ensuring that the vehicle performs effortlessly on both roads and racetracks. The robust design is complemented by a Ford 9-inch floater rear axle, promising not only brute force but also a seamless driving experience.

Engineering Details

Every component of the Ruffian Plymouth GT-1 is engineered to perfection. The innovative design includes a unique cooling system cleverly hidden in the trunk, disguised as the original spare tire. It features a dual power rack and pinion setup for responsive handling, while a precision suspension arrangement, made up of Penske adjustable coilovers and AP Racing brakes, offers a driving experience worthy of its racing lineage.
