I can’t stop thinking about the Porsche 993-based Ruf Bergmeister prototype

9/5/202211:28 estFiled to: Porsche 993, Tuned PorschesBy: Bradley Brownell

Some of the best Porsches of all time have been stripped down speed machines built explicitly for the purpose of going up a hill as quickly as possible. Ruf took inspiration from the Bergmeister cars Porsche built in the 1950s and 60s, namely the RS 60 Spyder, various iterations of 906, and the zero-compromise 909 Bergspyder, to build this new …

Ruf doesn’t build Porsches

11/30/202110:47 estFiled to: Porsche CarsBy: Bradley Brownell

Founded way back in 1939, and rising to fame in the 1980s with its high-performance Porsche-based CTR "Yellowbird" Ruf has been building gorgeous and fast machines for decades. While much of what the company has built is based on Porsche chassis, for decades it stripped everything down to its component parts and engineered every single piece to …

Marc Philipp Gemballa’s Marsien pays homage to Porsche’s Dakar history

7/14/202111:55 estFiled to: Tuned PorschesBy: Bradley Brownell

The original Gemballa may be the most famous Porsche tuner in the world (Ruf is not a tuner, remember), and is universally best known for gaudy and over-the-top Porsche-based creations. Wild bodykits and huge horsepower are de rigueur for the company, and even with the tragic murder of founder Uwe Gemballa a decade ago, the company continues to …

Excellent Ruf Exhibit Open Now At The Petersen Museum

5/20/20217:56 estFiled to: News, Porsche Museum, Tuned PorschesBy: Bradley Brownell

In partnership with our favorite aircooled Porsche show Luftgekuhlt, Los Angeles, California's best automotive museum The Petersen has launched a new exhibit to celebrate the greatest Porsche-based supercar manufacturer in the world.

RUF’s BTR2 Requires Some Respect

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

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 …

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 Parry

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 Parry

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 Brownell

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 Cushing

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 Parry

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, …
