RUF’s BTR2 Requires Some Respect

1/26/20219:07 estFiled to: Porsche 993, Tuned PorschesBy: Tommy ParryComment

In 1993, production of the BTR2 began. As the second production car in RUF's lineup, it took its name from the G-body-based BTR unveiled a decade earlier. Due to a classic configuration draped in modern skin, the BTR2 was an odd product; something which straddled the fence that separates the crazy seventies and the tech-heavy nineties. The BTR …

Only A Pro Racer Can Grab the Taycan Turbo S by the Scruff of its Neck

12/27/202011:25 estFiled to: Porsche TaycanBy: Tommy Parry1 Comment

Racing geeks, rejoice: the legend that is Tim Schrick has resurfaced and started his own YouTube channel. When I was finding my feet as a driver and car enthusiast, I always admired Schrick. His appearances on D Motor were filled with a sense of humor ranging from dry to goofy, superlative car control, and an excellent selection of vehicles. The …

If You Hand Over Your Porsche 964 And $425,000, RUF Will Build You An RCT Evo

12/5/20202:10 estFiled to: Porsche 964, Tuned PorschesBy: Tommy Parry3 Comments

If you'd like a trip back to simpler times when a Porsche 911 Turbo was still a frightening thing that skipped, danced, and deployed its power in a brutal fashion, but would like that feral character hardened and sharpened by modern tech, you're in luck. RUF Automobile might've made its name with their wildly modified 930s, but the successive …

Five RUF Models You Probably Haven’t Heard Of

9/2/202010:42 estFiled to: Tuned PorschesBy: Tommy Parry2 Comments

Known for blending outrageously powerful motors with understated exteriors, RUF Automobile GmbH has made quite a name for itself. But beyond the tire-smoking Yellowbirds, there are a few vehicles which, while possibly not headline material in themselves, help constitute an interesting, varied stable from a company capable of producing more than …

The History Of Ruf As Told By Ruf

5/2/202010:02 estFiled to: Tuned PorschesBy: Bradley BrownellComment

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 …

The RUF Rodeo is a Carbon Fiber Take on the Safari 911

3/10/202011:07 estFiled to: Tuned PorschesBy: Chris Cushing1 Comment

Since registering as a manufacturer in the late 1970s the creations of Alois Ruf have avoided, at a legal level, being Porsche 911s. Though they may look like 911s, often sound quite like 911s, are made of 911 parts, and probably even smell like 911s the pfolks from Pfeffenhausen are distinct from those in Stuttgart. Since launching their carbon …

Drag Battle of the Titans: Ruf CTR3 Vs. GT2 RS

1/31/20202:59 estFiled to: Porsche GT2/GT3, Tuned PorschesBy: Tommy Parry1 Comment

It's interesting to see how far the game has progressed in the last decade. Back in 2008, the small batch of Ruf CTR3s was regarded as having one of the wildest makeups in the world of supercars. Shoehorn a custom flat-six engine in the back of a hybrid chassis utilizing 997 Turbo and 987 Cayman bits, stick in a sequential gearbox for good measure, …

The Ruf CTR Blends The Old With The New

1/11/20204:22 estFiled to: Tuned PorschesBy: Tommy ParryComment

Read the following figures out aloud: 2,750 pounds, a 710-horsepower engine, a carbon monocoque, and pushrod suspension. Those stats alone don't suggest something with the silhouette of a vintage 911, do they? In the case of the RUF CTR Anniversary, an astounding amount of modern tech is utilized to modernize the experience of its hot-blooded …

The Full History Of Ruf

2/18/20191:10 estFiled to: Tuned Porsches, VideosBy: Chris CushingComment

The guys at Donut Media are nothing if not excited. A car doesn't make anything so pedestrian as horsepower, they make HRSPRS. If those HRSPRS are especially stacked(preferably due to a steady diet of love and oats), they become #BUFFHORSES. 1987 isn't just a year, it's 8 years BPM (Before Post Malone). Anything worth saying is worth yelling. …

The Truffle Hunter Returns to Le Mans in 2018

6/3/201812:51 estFiled to: FIA World Endurance ChampionshipBy: Chris Cushing3 Comments

What is your favorite cut of pork? Do you like a bit of cured Brust? Haxe? Koteletts? Huft? Perhaps you are an American, and prefer pork cracklins'? As a Porsche fan, you probably prefer your pigs whole and depicted over a short and stubby racing car. 917/20 claimed fame as the Pink Pig; a racer which appeared wider than it was long, emblazoned …
