Awesome video! I've heard of Ruf. But I've never seen one in person. It
looks so much like a Porsche 911, that one could easily mistake it for a
Porsche. Why do you reckon that is? Did Porsche work with Ruf at any time
in either of their lives?
+Jason Carpp Ruf is a recognised manufacturer taking porsche cars from factory and rebuilding them. They are resold with their own chassis number with porsche approval. Alpina do the same for BMW and Brabus for Mercedes. The car in this video is known as the RUF Yellowbird CTR. Ruf take a 930 chassis and make it into a monster with a top speed of 211.5mph. This is in the 1980's!
+jjnaron1 That actually goes for most porsches from the 70ishs. First 911 (930s) Turbo was called widowmaker for a reason - like any turbo from back in the day, since they basically only knew the states "on" and "off".
RUF buys body shells from Porsche, then builds them from the ground up as their own car. So they're classified as a manufacturer rather than a tuner, but they do offer an extensive amount of aftermarket parts for most Porsche models.
"Ruf Automobile GmbH is a German car manufacturer. Ruf vehicles are derived from unmarked Porsche chassis, specifically known as a Body in white. Through these fundamental platforms, RUF design and engineer its own original vehicles."Basically, RUF engineers super porsche's. They're crazy fast and any of them from the 80's are infamous for being terrifying to drive. They're crazy.
