Her Mom and Dad are the two most stylish car company owners in the world and they are are all truly artists. The cars just happen to be their medium.

    I got the chance to meet Mr. Ruf at the 50th Porsche Parade in Hershey, PA in the early 2000s. He brought the original Yellowbird and it was such a thrill to see the actual car. I told him I was a big fan of his company. He asked if I owned one and I said, "not yet unfortunately." He said "well, stay with us!" Very down to earth guy, and nice to see that was passed down to his daughter! Still working on owning one of his amazing cars...

    I have had the privilege of being in the passenger seat of one of these cars. It was lightly and tastefully modified, and made around 500hp and 475 ft lbs of torque at the wheels. I have never been in another street legal car that accelerates as hard as one of these...50km/hr to 250 took less than 8 seconds, and 250-300km/hr was less than 10 seconds more.
    My mechanic had just done a bunch of work to it for one of his customers, and asked if I had ever been in a turbo Porsche before. I told him I had never been in any at all, but had been in some pretty quick vehicles. He needed to take it for a road test, and invited me to ride with him.
    The car didn't have the stock CTR rims like the one in this video, it had 3 piece BBS wheels. It had a full roll cage, fiberglass and carbon seats with Schroth harnesses, and aftermarket carbon brakes.
    It was an unforgettable experience, and I am forever grateful I went (My mechanic would end up being murdered by a family member several years later).
    The only vehicle I have been in since that felt even close to the RUF, was a modified 2010 Shelby GT500 with an upgraded Kenne Bell supercharger, and a slew of weight reduction mods.

    I worked in a tyre shop in London in the 90s. I was told to pick up a customer car so we could change the tyres. I will never ever forget that day. A RUF 911 twin turbo. I still cannot believe a 19/20 year was handed the keys to what turned out to be a very very fast car. Raced a sports bike, we both got stopped by the police. I was very lucky not to loose my license or go to jail. Triple figures in a 30 zone. I got to the shop and said to my boss you better take that car back 😂 I still get scared thinking about it to this day 🙄
