RUF

Famed niche German car manufacturer Ruf has released a new documentary film covering its 80-year history. The “Love at the Red Line” film tells the rather unusual story of the Ruf family business’s origins under Alois Ruf, with extensive interviews with current company owners Alois Ruf Jr and his wife Estonia.

We already knew that there was a GT Sport update coming this week — and quite the update at that. What we didn’t know was the cars in the update, and there’s some great news on that front now too.

Today has been something of a day for leaking GT Sport car news. However, while a short list of vehicles for the next game update appearing on the New Zealand PlayStation Store is almost something we expect by now, this next leak… isn’t.

Today, thousands of players across the globe are getting in on The Crew 2. Early access has begun, and the game marks a rather unique point in the history of the racing genre: it’s the first new racer to feature both Porsche and RUF from day one.

While the history of Porsche dates back 70 years, RUF is even older and closing in on its 80th birthday. That’s why for this week’s Want we’re taking a look at just one of the company’s iconic models, the CTR2.

Although a new Porsche is exciting, seeing the house of RUF work its magic is just as fun. Thankfully then, the German manufacturer has revealed its latest piece of work — the revival of the RUF SCR.

2017 is shaping up to be a massive year for racing games, in part due to the sudden (and very welcome) availability of Porsche across the genre. On the face of it this is great news, but one manufacturer seems increasingly rare on the car lists of upcoming games: Ruf Automobile.

The Geneva Motor Show is typically a treat for auto enthusiasts, but this year has truly been something else. Between the launches of a new Ferrari grand tourer, McLaren supercar and even an Alpine sports coupe, we’ve been treated to a Bentley roadster, a four-door take on Mercedes’ AMG GT, and Pininfarina’s long-awaited Vision GT candidate.

One of the biggest announcements from Xbox’s E3 showing was the unveiling of Forza Horizon 3 – the latest installment in Playground Games’ open-world racing series – with the game taking center stage at the keynote conference on June 14th. The showing included an official reveal trailer and a small discussion about the game’s features. However, Microsoft may have teased (accidentally or intentionally) an unannounced manufacturer for FH3 as willbsn13 has spotted on the GTPlanet forums.
