Ruf Has Developed An All-New Car Not Based On A Porsche And We Don't Know How To Feel

Ruf is a name we all remember fondly from various video games throughout our childhoods, but now, instead of using a 911 as a base car, it has gone its own way...

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.

Its a ruf based on a ruf. Which was based on a 911 so its still derived from a porsche?
