I was never into cars, but when I played PGR 3, The RUF Yellowbird was my car of choice. So raw. So real. So fast. What a based badass machine.

I had the honor of riding in Steve Beddor's CTR2 as a child. Amazing car. My father was the specialst mechanic for the RUF racing teams, for many races including the VC hill climbs where the car set the world record. Wish I wouldve been old enough to remember riding in that car. Truly an amazing peice of machinery.

How can it be a ripoff if it's "better"? Of course it's subjective if you think it's better or not. But what it really is and has always been is a Porsche on steroids.

Beautiful presentation. I am a 911 fan too since birth. I Love Porsche and Ruf, Keep up the good work and what a privilege it must've been to meet Alois. I got goosebumps within the first 30 seconds of the video and finally I'm glad your hero didn't disappoint you. I currently own a 2008 BMW 335i M Sport and MB E55 AMG 2001. My hero is the 993 turbo and I plan to take ownership of it next year, my lifetime dream. I hope I don't become disappointed in meeting my hero next year. Fingers crossed!

Thanks for sharing this inside look into my favorite manufacturer and Automotive hero, Alois Ruf. I own an RT12 and it is the best car I've owned and one of the few cars in my stable that I plan to keep forever. It's hard to describe the feeling of a Ruf versus a Porsche as it is a truly unique experience. Great job!!

My dad used to own one of the 49 original one. Actually one of the 29 built from the ground by RUF. It was a beast. lol... I miss that car. I've driven newer cars that accelerate faster and will crush it around a track, but never have i driven a car that felt anything close to the CTR. It was so dramatic and somewhat scary. You really felt and heard it when changing gears, you heard the whistling of the bov. Man that was an exciting car to drive, and even more exciting when my old man drove it.

Good lord this car is my street legal car hero of ALL TIME. Always will be. Hope to own one of these someday, but the prices are of course going up faster than I can make more money. Just sublime (ridden in one when I was a kid, never drove, and that kick in the pants from the boost, and the rear that just was sliding yet SO planted... still in awe of that, think about it at least once a day, 20 years later).

Great work, whoever came up with the Car and Driver abroad videos is definatly onto something, would love to see more. I still like reading my Car and Driver Magazine in print though, so please don't skimp on the print!
