ich meine is jetzt eine auslegungssache, aber "wir" sprechen "RUF" eher kurz, also nicht so mit zwei "oo" respektive "uu" von der betonung her, eher ein kuzes "u"...!???

ah...scheiß an...
Ist aber meiner Meinung nach die beste Möglichkeit es den anderen hier zu erklären...

Done. He's put a deposit down with Porsche for a 911 Turbo and a deposit with RUF for the R Turbo conversion... He's getting a special paint job at an absolutely eye-watering cost... :shock:

It's 630bhp, (same spec as Alois' own car) but i forgot if it's RWD orAWD. Can get more details tomorrow if people are interested...

From the 'Faszination On The Nurburgring' video by RUF, the narrator definately pernounces RUF as 'Roof' (bit like Kanga-ROO)
