Ruf Automobile July 2010: Ruf Rt12S US-spec, 3400S and CTR3

[milliondollars89]

are these porches?

[tritanspear]

poor mans porche

[Addienzo]

911*

[Addienzo]

@g3rm4n yes they are better performance wise duh!! Rt12 vs 991tt, gt2rs vs rt12r, rgt-8 vs gt3rs ruf hands down sorry.

[spencermel]

"Its super special"LOL! You are so right! That car [ctr3] is pure perfection.Thank you for the vids.

[BlackxHeartxBlood]

im sorry im not quite clear on what RUF is, is it a porsche owned brand or what? someone please explain

[G3RM4N]

@BlackxHeartxBlood RUF is a german automobile manufacterer RUFs are built from unmarked Porsche bodies and chassis. When a chassis arrives, RUF builds their own independent work into the car. Because RUF installs many of their own-made parts, the company is recognized as a manufacturer by the German government.

[BlackxHeartxBlood]

@G3RM4N ah thank you so much. I have always wondered that since i was really young. Are they any better performance wise?

[G3RM4N]

@BlackxHeartxBlood No, they aren't, they just build cars with the chassis of Porsches. Porsche always will be better than any other auto maker

[scribklu]

So, gustav, maybe a trip to Koro?

[m5boarddotcom]

@scribklu I was there in 2002, have they grown since then?

[scribklu]

@m5boarddotcom To be honest I do not know. I think development of the DSG transmissions has moved them far away from the "aftermarket" sector. They did have some very interesting GT3 engines... 4.6L & 5.0 & 5.2......

[LuckyDT]

I would have loved a look at some of the older Rufs. Was that the "Yellow Bird" late in the video?

[m5boarddotcom]

@LuckyDT Yes. I beleive with 40 000 km.

[adamctr]

@m5boarddotcom

Gustav, you should recognize that yellowbird...even with the french plates.... ;)

It has way more than 40k kms now...

[m5boarddotcom]

@adamctr Haha, oops it was yours?

Nice hearig from you!

Gustav

[adamctr]

@m5boarddotcom

It is indeed old friend :)

I hope HP wasnt driving it too fast....

[ninjadudevideos]

when my dad was in dallas getting his turbo he saw them unloading a gt

[hendrixexperiencedig]

ahh I think these are slightly better looking than porsches

[Paganiproductions]

What is whit the r35 gtr outside ruf hq?

[spencermel]

@Paganiproductions that is Gustav's ride.black is so hard to take care of,i like lighter colors.

[JanThaMan59]

Giff PLZ!!!

[arena2101]

Holy crap- that's a Cayman chassis! Well at least it started as a cayman...

[SDCalifornia1]

I have Black RT12S

[m5boarddotcom]

@SDCalifornia Movie please?

[SDCalifornia1]

@m5boarddotcom FK u Plz

[joseabreu00]

Love the Alpina B5 @2:29!!!

[LuckyCheesie]

ruf must be helllaaa expensive

[MrBazpoker]

looks like a Koenigsegg inside

[Gumbal]

RUF is one of the best Porsche tuner nowadays!

[Reddragon816]

hey gustav you should give us a little info on the car and what makes it so sweet!!! especially for us who don't know much about rufs or other high end cars!! love the vids please keep them coming

[xradio86]

And what modifications that RUF does to Porsches?

[NOOGUMS]

The seats in the car with the silver car look like little red sour patch kids ready to hug you :)

[CHAGOYALEON]

RUF..... ESTILIZA Y MEJORA AL MAXIMO LOS PORSCHES.... DAMN!!!! ESTAN POKA MADRE!

[AudiABTr8]

I really don't like the silver one. Why give the beautiful Carrera GT the ugly nose of a regular 911?

[ptrkth30]

@AudiABTr8 its a cayman not a carrera gt

[AudiABTr8]

@ptrkth30 the ctr3?

[TheRiseagainstfan]

@ptrkth30 its a ruf ctr3.. its based on a porsche but almost none of the parts on it are porsche thats the greatness of ruf, they leave nothing stock

[TooMuchFun243]

Gustav, are u still in germany?

[ChickenCritters]

isn't this illegal. its like making a fake ferrari just changing the name and emblem

[kenny8076]

so RUF isnt a porshe? i thought they were, like hennesse does to vipers and saleen does to mustangs. Just taking a great car and making it a flawless car. Please explain

[uuuu9999]

@kenny8076 It is like the Hennessey Venom GT. Even though it is based on the Lotus Exige, it has been completely rebuilt. The CTR3 is based on the Porsche Cayman, but I doubt if 10% of the car is original.

[kenny8076]

@uuuu9999 ah right on thanks

[ALLvideogamesFANBOY1]

whats the difference between a porsche and ruf.... performance?

because they sure as hell look the same

[Hazardiousmatze]

@ALLvideogamesFANBOY1 ruf builds their cars on the chassis of original porchs ;)

[Daml661]

Fucking nice interior

[yanihluigi]

how many times people have to tell you that when you shoot a video you MUST move the camera around slowly!!! it is frustrating watching YOUR videos. You shoot amazing cars, but the way you do it is so bad. I understand you are so exited everytime you see something new... but its not pleasant to our eyes. thank you.

[reyelacademico]

why Ruf have the porsche body?

[Devastationable]

@reyelacademico oh god :(

[himbeertoni1990]

favourite cars!!!!!!!!!!!

[Veechie4short]

@UserNamei5 when you enter the Ruf website rufautocentre(dot)com in big bold letters across the home screen it reads: "think of us as a personal trainner for your porsche!" but that car is a Ruf original... it's not a porsche! it has porsche's body dna but that's not a porsche model of any sort.

[yenglo25]

All those cars just stunning!! BTW, was that an Aplina B5 next to the RUF 3400S?

[budracin8guy07]

stunning cars

[notoriousxmike]

how do you get too know all these people. and what kind of car you drive!!!! i would love too know

[tsjkj]

porche?

[mpaqu076]

@tsjkj RUF!

[GTRSv]

what is the model at 2:49 called?

i love everything about that car!!

[Veechie4short]

@GTRSv that's a Ruf tunned 1985 ish 911 carrera.

[enisylo]

So what is it about Ruf that make them special?

These seem to me (I may be massively wrong and don't take this as if I'm being critical) Porsche's of different types with different internal layouts...

[Kaim718]

brb I'm gonna go change my underwear.

[mokadesigns]

RUF = Gemballa's taken down a notch.

[sparco2008]

hmmmmm the GTR is outside 0:50

[TripleZ89]

OH WOW!! Don't see those every day!! When will we see those on the runway? :P

[TheBarrett1971]

Awesome machines in every way.

[PsYcHoSeesYou]

at 1:51 are those 4 pedals o_O?

[Randomherocky2k4]

@PsYcHoSeesYou the one all the way to the left is a place to rest your left foot

[sushi123]

@PsYcHoSeesYou that's a foot rest

[sexydjole93]

@m5boarddotcom is that subaru impreza outside?

[CarFanaticSwe]

great video! Thanks a lot.

[jrshields2123]

any prices?

[stabakfan]

the closest i ever bin a fast car is when my dad took the mini cooper with 110 hp and did street race vs a mazda 5

[shadystang27]

I always thought a Ruf was a Porsche of some sort. But, I'm a ignorant American, though I do drive a Mercedes and the wife a BMW. Still, I really didn't know what it was.

[m5boarddotcom]

@KayoCORE Ruf CTR3. Not a Porsche.

[tannigalea]

@m5boarddotcom RUF are tuned Porsches -_-'

[m5boarddotcom]

@tannigalea A Pure Ruf has their own chassis number and are Ruf, not Porsches.

[m5boarddotcom]

@samthemaz Not the same.

[scribklu]

Cool, were there any RGT-8 (v8 models)? Have any been delivered?

[hadabenz]

@scribklu RGT-8 is still in development (meaning theyre still building it) and will be delivered in 2011. but seriously you're an auto aficionado for asking that. I feel the same and cannot wait to see a flat crank 8 cylinder porsche. what a masterpiece from Alois Ruf.

[APLpod]

The shift lever is really tall

[m5boarddotcom]

@APLpod Close to the steeringwheel.

[T67GS300]

@bbywu No its 3 pedals its a stick

[bbywu]

@T67GS300 It's a cartronics.de conversion, not a true sequential. Do a google and you'll find it.

[bbywu]

@T67GS300 Yes, it's a cartronic-motorsport.de conversion of a 6 speed.

[T67GS300]

@bbywu I am completely lost can you stupify that for me please. So its not a manual?

[bbywu]

@T67GS300 It is not a true racing sequential gearbox. It is a standard 6speed gear box. A few manufacturers have developed aftermarket solutions that simulate a sequential bumpshifter, but the gear box is still a manual ie requires a clutch.

Search here on youtube with the words "sequential evoms" and watch Todd Z install a Oakley Design (Cartronic OEM) shifter on a 911.

[T67GS300]

@bbywu Thats what I was trying to say to the other guy because he was saying a seq. but it has 3 pedals

[mpaqu076]

@APLpod Its actually a sequential gearbox, where you just push or pull the lever to change gears.

[TheRiseagainstfan]

@APLpod so you dont have to move your hand very far to shift.... its a race car d:

[ynb3a9y4life]

@APLpod wats ur point exactly , huh ???!!!

[TheOne969]

nice interior

[MeMyselfAndKgore]

i want your life :)

[crzy0dj]

I want all of them + that GT R ;)

[CJAEY]

German engineering at its finest.

[SCHIZOPHRENlC]

"It's super special."

[OOLWprufKW]

in my own opinin - i think ruf is a gets a bit carried away most of the time - like 9ff - these road rockets oftenly get too unnaturally fast, looking like ufo's on the autobahn...

[EndlessCalleman]

2:45 ser jag helt konstigt nu eller är det en 959? Till höger alltså, den silvriga.

[m5boarddotcom]

@EndlessCalleman Ruf CTR2.

[hosrom]

RUF + Porsche = heaven!

[hosrom]

@hosrom Is that the yellowbird?

[m5boarddotcom]

@hosrom The one that drives into the garage is the original yellowbird.

[hosrom]

@m5boarddotcom 

[m5boarddotcom]

@hosrom However Ruf is no Porsche anymore, separate RUF VIN and new Porsches are completely dissassembled.

[slade420]

awesome cars! ive always like RUF

[tomatoe58]

their both soo beautiful.. its not too much like most other companies which ruin the cars

[gangsterfromdaghetto]

THIRD.YAY.

[1000i10]

2nd

[marcus974ever]

I like the yellow one
