He even got the founder of RUF to get on his show!! This is why I love this channel, as if the Yellowbird wasn’t enough! Thank you Jay Leno and your whole crew for making this possible.

@houseofno 4 года назад

This is Alois Ruf, Jr. The company was founded by his father, Alois Ruf Sr. Had you been watching the video and paying attention, you would have realized that Alois Ruf, Sr. died in 1974. Alois Ruf succeeded his father as head of the company at that time. Ruf was founded in 1939, predating Ruf Jr.'s birth by eleven years.

@Odessa45 4 года назад

"...and this feels like a brand new car" "Ya, that's the way it should be. It's only 30 years." In the 90's I worked at a shop that sold & serviced all sorts of exotics - old & new. Only the Porsche guys DROVE their cars. The English and Italian car owners avoided driving their cars. It was a real eye opener. The German cars are built with the expectation that they will be driven every day and see heavy service. The Italian cars are built according to entirely different philosophy of use. The designers and engineers assume that their customers own many, many other cars and so their cars will see limited service and lead a pampered existence. So they build them accordingly. The English car owners longed to drive their cars as though they were German cars, but most came to realize that they were more like the Italian cars.

@SoundScientist1 4 года назад

In the early nineties I visited the Ruf’s garage and was greeted by the both of them. It was obvious that I was not a customer but we shared the love for the cars. You will never meet a nicer and kinder couple! There was a dark green early 911 in the showroom and I beieve it was. His personal car and a 356 carrera was being rebuild in the shop accross the office. Mrs showed us around and invited us to the hockenheimring the next day. It turned out it was a customerday for them and we were treated as such. Impressing for us! We saw a GT1, now how many have you come accross? The plate had Töll in it (= nice) the owner was a young kid with acné and he ran a flat tire. He had no idea how to change his wheel. So the technicians of Ruf did it for him.... Was so jealous and appalled at the same time. So thanks again for the warm welcome I sure never forgot!

@MrGaryGG48 4 года назад

The actual "speed limit," when I was in High School in Stuttgart, in the early '60s was "what was safe for the conditions." There was that white road sign with the black circle with the slash, but the ultimate judgement, at least then, was what the Politzi thought was safe and reasonable at the time. The German society then was "just a bit authoritarian." Of course, the typical car wreck on the autobahn tended to look more like a plane crash than anything else and the results were messy.

Amazing video, it's great to see the passion in this video, Jay, Mr RUF, Mrs RUF, they are all car people, also very clever people, the discussions in this video are really something. The car, the brands owner and his family, and Jay, it's amazing. Thanks Bruce for bringing another one of your incredible cars to Jay's show, he has a great taste in cars and is also very clearly very passionate about them, all of them. Incredible video, simply the best 35 minutes I'll spend this week :)

Jay is nervous around true automotive royalty, he is human after all.

What a marrage should be, mutual respect for each other, valuing what each other has to say, sharing a passion and all based on love. Salute Mr. & Mrs. Ruf

and back when a massive amounts of Games used RuF because of EA's exclusive licensing agreement with Porsche.

Absolutely incredible! What beautiful cars! I thought RUF was just a company that did Porsche mods, I didn't realise they were a standalone manufacturer! Thanks for the great video, this must be the best car channel on RU-vid!

Mr. Ruf is a dying sort of german man. Humble, honest and innovative. When the diesel scandal of VW was uncovered in 2008, I wasnt even old enough to drive but it somehow hurt so bad. As the "people´s car" this company somehow represents me as a german. Such a big lie for such a long time was a tremandous insult for everybody raised with the believes in honesty, loyalty and trustworthiness which are the 3 pillars of german morals that you get raised with (at least for me and the people that surround me). Maybe i am too young, too romantic or even too german but seeing Jay Leno, Mr. Meyer and Mr. and Mrs. Ruf appreciating such a fine engineered peace of technology really feels satisfying. A bit off topic but had to say this. Great video, I really enjoy how Mr. Leno is honoring all kinds of cars. Thank you!

I think this is one of the best videos Jay has managed to post. Fantastic footage. Amazing personality from Mr. Ruf.

32:29 - Front left wheel lifts up due to stiff suspension and chassis. Pretty impressive for 30 year old car! Awesome video Jay

They seem like a couple(Ruf's) who really is in love. What a lovely sight that is!

What a great story to hear about the “Ruf” family, always great to see a win!

In 87 I was a jr in H.S. driving an 82 GT 5.0 with 150 hp thinking I was the king until I read that July 87 R/T magazine with the Yellow Bird (400+hp) on the cover, blew my mind. Still waiting to win the lotto to get a Ruf Porche. Ruf is a genius, great vision.

Thank you Jay, Bruce and Mr. & Mrs. Ruf for sharing this interview with us! What a special man! You should do more interviews with Bruce about his car passions and experiences, that would be fascinating.

@ralphbillick1210 4 года назад

Great one=Jay , Bruce Meyer always has great stories to go along with great cars and to listen to Mr. Ruf in his creation was just great for the end of the week.

Wonderful video and interview Jay. Great to hear the RUF story. Taking amazing cars and turning them into something truly unique. Incredible stuff!

I subscribed to Road & Track as a teenager and remember very well reading about the yellow 911, learning about the special relationship Ruf had with Porsche, and learning fir thefirsttime in general about specialists in the automotive world like Ruf, and others such as Dinan. So this was a great treat for me, as I am sure it was for others. Especially those in the video, I imagine. Thanks, Jay!
