RUF and Gran Turismo Celebrate Partnership With Pop-Up Event and Clothing Collection in Tokyo​

RUF Automobile and Gran Turismo teamed up for a pop-up event in Tokyo’s Ginza district on March 14, coinciding with the inaugural Luft Tokyo air-cooled Porsche celebration happening just up the road on the city’s elevated KK expressway line...

Great to see that ruf is not forgotten

A 27 years old win-win relationship between these two.

I hope it continues, Ruf really has something special and GT conveys that with their own passion.

“30 years” sounds like a new car in a new game to me.

 

[Voodoovaj]

WANT - I foresee some additions to the game - Also where can I order the gear??

 

[phillgt2002]

Sounds like a nice event. If only they held it where I'm at.

 

[Lunard]

Nice event right there.
I love to see Porsche and Ruf cars alongside in GT7.

 

[Ryan81]

Is this a harbinger of things to come? Like, does it suggest more RUF models are incoming or is it simply a marketing event?

 

[Old_Setzer]

The event was so good with a lot of cars. I've been following it on Twitter this past weekend and I'm leaving some photos here (I hope the quantity isn't too much, if so I'll edit).







RUF T3 VW (I want this so hard in the game! )

And yes, I'm happy the relationship still alive, love the brand.

60 Euro for a tshirt, 160 euro for a soft shell. I think the idea is good but the prices are nuts.

 

[Bosozoku]

How about some more cars

You could say that the prices are... through the RUF.

On a serious note, happy that PD and RUF's relationship is still going strong. I'd never have heard of RUF if not for Gran Turismo 2, and RUF has stood in for Porsche in GT for literal decades. I'm hard pressed to name another manufacturer more deserving.

Cool and we need more Ruf cars. The classic Yellow Bird, the new CTR, the incredible Gran Turismo icon CTR2 and why not the 3400s, a good additions for the game.

 

[Mr. Premium]

Great!

Sooooooo... are we getting Yellowbird back? It's probably the most glaring omission to me. I can make a sort of replica with a 964 and the 959 engine, but it isn't the real thing.

 

[kjb]

Hopefully we can see some more RUFs in the game. It looks like it was a good time for those who were there

Yeah.
We have already CTR3 and RGT 4.8

 

[WolfpackS2k]

Love it. Now GIVE US MORE RUFs instead of those damn CUVs. New Yellowbird, old Yellowbird...hell throw in the Rodeo for good measure.

Let's Goooooooooooo

 

[Famine]

Now GIVE US MORE RUFs instead of those damn CUVs.

 

[VlackSiper12]

I can see GT7 getting more RUF cars like the Yellowbird and maybe the Tribute, but I can't see it coming in until maybe the end of the year or early 2027.

A little RUF porn for everyone, from an ice racing event held locally 3 weeks ago.

And here's a Tuthill for good measure

Make it green and I’m for it. Might make it before the Cayenne.

 

[Strittan]

This is becoming less and less about the game and more about Kaz toasting champagne with rich people, isn’t it?

World is flat.

I have that shirt, lol

(also used to own a Porsche. Let's just say it didn't end well...)

Great!

It would be a blast to throw the bird around the Ring!

I'd say only at a glance. For me, I'd be very surprised if we didn't get more RUF models at some point after this event, including that iconic CTR. Maybe we could even get the CTR2 for the full CTR lineup!

Uhm.. ok. You’re just guessing though, aren’t you? My point is that Polyphony more than any other racing game developer (or game developer full stop) tries to make a point out of completely nothing. It’s sad.

From the RUF FB page:

Two important vehicles in our history sitting side-by-side, the RUF NATO and RUF CTR.
The NATO served as a development vehicle and test bed for the then-upcoming BTR, which went on to win our first “World’s Fastest Car” title in 1984. It allowed us to experiment with turbochargers, engines, transmissions and suspension designs, with power figures of over 400 hp from its turbo 3.3-liter flat-six running through a 5-speed transmission. Its dark olive matte paint scheme kept it low profile.
The Blossom Yellow CTR, on the other hand, requires no introduction

 

[Lurikara]

Was it possible to drive the Yellowbird in GT7?
