For eighty years the Ruf family has been wrenching on and improving the best sports cars to come out of Zuffenhausen. It all started with a small repair shop in Pfaffenhausen, and became a household name by building the fastest car in the world at one point. The company has continued to build some incredible machines, including their own carbon-monocoque sports car from scratch.
The story has been told a hundred times, but wouldn’t you rather hear it straight from the horse’s mouth? Or rather, perhaps, the horsepower’s mouth? This incredible 29 minute documentary covers the full gamut of Ruf history from inception right straight through to today.
I could go on for hours about the reasons I love the Ruf story, but it’s so much better to hear it from this group of enthusiasts and Mr. Alois Ruf, Jr. himself. It’s an important story that needs to be told, and needs to be heard. So go ahead and click that play button, because you won’t regret adding this half-hour of educational story telling to your life.
