Porsche Of The Day: 1979 RUF 3.4 CR

Starting as a humble service station in Pfaffenhausen, Germany, RUF evolved within three decades into a renowned creator of some of the world’s most exceptional super sports cars.

Alois Ruf Junior, inspired by his father’s business, developed a deep passion for automobiles, particularly the Porsche 911. Initially, RUF’s creations were based on this iconic model. As the company grew, they began using 911 body-in-white chassis to develop and produce their own models.

One notable creation is the 1979 Porsche 911SC, modified by Ruf in 2014 and now known as the 1979 RUF 3.4 CR. It boasts a Ruf Yellow Bird body kit, Ruf wheels, and a Ruf gearbox. Inside, it features color-matched Porsche 968 Club Sport seats with custom jacquard woven fabric upholstery and Ruf CR monograms.

This car is powered by a naturally aspirated 3.4-liter flat-six engine and equipped with a limited-slip differential.
