Visit to
 RUF Automobile GmbH


Really fantastic to visit and meet the man himself, Alois Ruf at their workshop in Pfaffenhausen. Very nice people, went on a tour of the facility – both their manufacturing site and their Porsche Center across the traffic circle. The original workshop has two engine dynos for development work and the breaking in of every customer engine before installation, along with a small paint and body shop. Very cool to see where the magic happens. Some really interesting and historical vehicles on site including an odd Ford GT in for servicing, owned by a very ‘special’ customer of theirs. This man’s most famous creation, the Yellow Bird from 1989 graced my walls as a kid, so this was a very special visit… Their website is here
