whats the difference between porshe and ruf

[speedychrissie]

ruf are a little german company who tune porsches and also make some of their own cars, which all tend to be very fast and look like porsches because porsche let ruf use their body designs.

I don't understand, the RuF Yellow Bird does 211mph, was the runway too short?

[speedychrissie]

i dont think there is a runway in britain long enough to reach its true top speed of 211, but you are right that it will go that fast if you have the space

What Ruf is needs to be cleared up a little. While Ruf is considered a "tuning company" like Alpine, the extent of their modifications on stock Porsche's is so extensive, it warrents the rebadging of the car as a Ruf. Therefore, a Ruf car is registered as a Ruf, and not a Porsche.

@mazda6tuner99 It's like Mercedes and Brabus

[fmw944]

an old RUF can keep up with an much newer 911! This is great!

[suhaas307]

Wow! Now I know why they nicknamed it the 'Yellowbird'. You can actually hear the turbo spooling away and that lovely, distinct, Canary-bird-like whistle of the BOV from 00:35 - 00:43. Sheer brilliance!

@spookymilk Alpine? As in Renault or did you mean Alpina as in BMW...Guessing Alpina.

[Arnechk]

RUF is to Porsche like Hamman is to BMW (and many others) and Brabus is to Mercedes-Benz. They aren't funded by the companies, just own licences to their cars. Now, M at BMW, AMG at MB, RS (Renault Sport) at Renault and RS (Rallye Sport) at Ford, are divisions of their companies, therefore a direct part, also funded by the company itself.

@speedychrissie i think he meant RUF are diesel powered _ LOL

[AlexxSR]

That 930 is quick as fuck!

[predikarn]

Is It Adam driving his dad's yelllowbir?

[johnnyadrenaline]

all this RUF talk that they are their own company... what kind of engine are they using? I asume a porsche engine as it would be tough to fit anything else in a porsche boday and frame.. and its a porsche frame adn body too.. so what is RUF actually manufacturing and doing the R&D on? Seems like its a modified porsche to me!
