01RUF Automobile
Where others don't get in.
An exclusive shoot inside the manufactory in Pfaffenhausen.
RUF doesn't build cars at scale. They build them one at a time, by hand — thirty a year — a family business in Pfaffenhausen, where it all began in 1939. We were invited inside to film what that looks and sounds like.

Interview with Alois Ruf
Cameras where they normally aren't. The film opens on the shop floor at first light — slow, deliberate frames of metalwork and the people who own each step.
02Chapter 02
On the road
Out of the building, onto the country roads RUF was made for. Engineered restraint, then full throttle.

Things we kept
RUF rarely lets a camera in. We treated that access the way they treat a car — slowly, and with respect for what was already there.
