Manufactured years 1975-current

 Ruf Automobile GmbH (stylized as RUF) is a German car manufacturer. Formerly using Porsche bodies in white to build cars, today they build vehicles on their own bodies and chassis. Ruf rose to fame when in 1987, its Porsche-derived CTR reached 211 mph, surpassing the Ferrari F40’s previous top speed record of 201 mph .”Yellow Bird” with a claimed top speed of 225 mph.

There are two-types of Ruf Porsche’s, which are identifiable by their Chassis numbers. Those starting with “W09” were manufactured by Ruf from Porsche shells and once completed were affixed a Ruf identification (Chassis) number. Those without were manufactured and assembled by Porsche and then later modified by Ruf.

W09 Chassis numbers are highly sought after by collectors.
