Ruf Has Developed An All-New Car Not Based On A Porsche And We Don't Know How To Feel
Everyone’s favourite video game Porsche substitute, Ruf, is about to reveal its very first completely in-house car at the Geneva Motor Show.
Unlike all the models it has previously based on Porsches, this one is brand spanking new Ruf product from the ground up.
We don’t have any pictures of it yet, but it will ‘take inspiration’ from Ruf’s own 911-based 1987 CTR Yellowbird (pictured below), which even 20 years ago could hit 210mph. It will have a unique carbonfibre structure and should be fast.
The latest 911-based car produced by Ruf, the CTR 3, looked pretty mean and stomped its way up to 236mph, so we’re expecting something similar, if not slightly faster, from the in-house beast. There’s no word on drivetrain style yet, but the engine is reportedly a new project as well. It sounds a little far-fetched, to us, but we’ll wait and see.
This year’s Geneva show seems to be coming up with the goods, anyway. There’s plenty more to come over the next few days.

Maybe it’s because of Porsche’s DLC contract being up?
With normal porsche’s in games, who needs ruf? So ruf did the best thing
Make a new car!
“Our cars don’t get chosen by kids in racing games, so let’s make our own car! That’ll bring us back.”
Porsche be like:
I hope they wont have a RUF time
They’re gonna have a RUF time getting those into production with all the new parts they’ll have to build for a new car from the ground up
My only concern is if it will turn out like the Shelby Series 1.
Commercial flop for the 1st in house car.
The ctr3 was enormous work and took months to build from scratch, remember, it was only the front wagon supplied.
And that went pretty well as far as 500.000 + supercars go
with their customer base being so stable i feel good about it :)
That’s quite RUF…
I guess RUF make a custom Audi TT RS
I dont see why not
Hopefully it won’t have any RUF edges
RIP Porsche RUFs

Ruf 918 would be deadly
