[@automotiveaffairsshorts]

Freeman is one of the most talented designers ever, and this video is amazing!

[@paulmontero98]

Bringing back a classic look to a new era is always awesome.

[@marlene7022]

His sketches are amazing, thank you for sharing your knowledge!

[@SF_Native]

What a cool job he has. I'm an artist myself, but ended up in the graphic design world. Seeing him going from marker to marker brought back memories.

[@alexmartinez280]

I’m an aspiring car designer and also a huge fan of RUF and the CTR. This Anniversary car is absolutely perfect in my eyes since I first laid eyes. So appreciative of this in-depth design review. Beautiful car and video. LOVE it!!!

[@neilalbaugh4793]

It is refreshing to see a car design that does not look like it came out of a video game. Nice work!

[@charissemitchell3275]

Wow! It was almost therapeutic watching him sketch the car. To think that is where it still starts (given the tools and tech available today) is somehow reassuring. I also appreciated a deeper understanding of the how, why and where of the design choices. His comment about the windshield possibly being the only thing of the RUF that is still a Porshe... I have been educated. I had to go back and watch it again!

[@melissatincopa9606]

Loved learning more about the car design process!

[@audreydavis7761]

So cool to see the sketches drawn in real time!

[@johnayala1150]

I like how designers always look at the past for inspiration. Whether it be for style or function.

[@joelepe1128]

He makes the sketches look so easy

[@ruftime]

I love Porsches and RUF in that order. I’m sure Alois would be the first to say that the foundation of RUF’s inspiration(and customer base) is Porsche........no matter how much of its brilliant content is “made” in Pfaffenhausen. The Yellowbird flying around the ring dislodged all other dream cars at the time😎

[@jetplume]

Porsches are boring, RUF fixes them.

[@alexmartinez280]

Masterful design or beauty, fiction and simplicity. My favorite modern car hands down

[@steviesindahouse4903]

❤ your work Freeman !!! Your spontaneous 'on the fly's drawings are just beautiful !!! Thank you for being so open about your design process .. so insightful .. you truly are an artist !!! Thank you !!! 😃

[@steviesindahouse4903]

P. S. Please substitute 'on the fly' (my phone likes to edit me; it just tried the very same thing again, but this time I caught it! 😂)

[@animefan1929]

What an interesting perspective about car design

[@steviesindahouse4903]

SO looking forward to this! What a legend! WOW! 😃

[@montestu5502]

That was awesome! Thanks for making it.

[@dynoroad]

What an absolute dream car...

[@lindasalgado8106]

These car sketches are amazing. I could never draw something amazing like that.

[@98triffid]

To put this in perspective they are talking about the dramatic changes required to move a wheel less than 2 inches.

[@alohagoodbye8868]

Very interesting to see the process behind the design with the sketches.

[@steviesindahouse4903]

AWESOME !!! Is there going to be a part two of this (Thomas seemed to be starting on another tangent at the end of the video)? Off to watch it again! As always, a huge thank you to team Petersen for this, as well as Thomas, and RUF! Take care everybody! 😃 .. 🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏 ...

[@steviesindahouse4903]

P. S. Please substitute Freeman for Thomas. 😊

[@turdferguson9190]

I hope there is more to come, I could listen to this all day.

[@jedgarren2901]

Learned so much about my favorite car,Thanks!

[@PetersenMuseum]

Our pleasure!

[@RaulGarcia-yi8jm]

Got me inspired!! Thanks for sharing this information!!!!

[@PetersenMuseum]

You are so welcome!

[@turbine6338]

His hand with pen never stopped. thats what his mind is doing when designing.

[@maxtufeld6423]

I once saw a Jay Leno video about RUF. Interesting stuff

[@rsevn]

love it. but you guys couldn't have filmed this better? Would love a re-take with a more documentary style sequence.

[@Rottie1973]

Very interesting video. :)

[@steviesindahouse4903]

Hello everybody! 😃

[@ZEPRATGERNODT]

Everyone constrained themselves to not utter the “P”. Word! I was tensed up during the whole video...

[@mosca3289]

I read somewhere the original naca ducts didn’t work. Pressure was so low at the inlets that air flowed out, not in.

anyone know where I can buy the Jacket?

[@platterhof]

Funny talking about designing. We all know by far that Ferdinand Porsche designed the Volkswagen back in the 30'ies. And that Volkswagen Käfer (beetle) looks like the first Porsche's, being actually the same car, same creator, just with another emblem on the car. But who designed/drew the first VW/Porsche concept? Nope, it wasn't Ferdinand, it was Adolf himself in 1932, on a tissue at a Munich restaurant. History time.

[@davidhunternyc1]

The Porsche Ruf SCR is 600 pounds heavier than a Porsche by Singer.

[@jackknightsbridge5232]

So Ruf CTR-3 looks like a large Cayman

[@theestimator]

The Steering Wheel is on the wrong side !!!!

[@melbguy1]

It's a shame that car was LHD-only due to limitations in the design of the carbon tub

[@hammmodjabeer7278]

Where's the designIt's a Porsche 911 design model 1982
