RUF is a Porsche? (Test Drive Unlimited)
why Porsche in the game called RUF?Ruf is a court tuning Studio working solely on Porsche. This company is doing exclusive Supplement to the standard cars!
Some models of Porsche are serious drawbacks that they are on the Porsche be different!)
Ruf Automobile GmbH is a German manufacturer of sports cars and supercars on the base of Porsche. Creator enterprise Alois RUF.
Alois RUF set up a workshop which was engaged in maintenance of cars under the name "AUTO-RUF" in the commune of Pfaffenhausen in 1939.
In the 60s, first began to tune current and obsolete car brand Porsche, mainly increased the power of the engine. Prior to 1975, the product of the company is exclusively racing cars that it was impossible to use on public roads.
Since 1981, the firm has received official permission to be called a car manufacturer and became the mark of the RUF.
I.e. at the moment the RUF is not a tuning Studio, as an independent brand cars. The issue is extremely limited because of what their cars are a tasty morsel for collectors and connoisseurs.

The more I read.
I'll tell you this: Porsche will not be in the second part, or in 4 Forze or Gran Turismo 6. All rights to the Porsche brand owned by Electronic Arts => the Need for Speed. Love and read RUF.
How it all right? And what other games can not now afford to buy a Porsche?

Just imagine, you can't. No rights to use the cars of this brand. For the same reason there is no Ferrari in NFS (the box addition to Shift are not considered to be a license given to them by Microsoft). After all, no Forze or Gran Turismo not this brand (I mean Porsche).
GTAшник and NFSник
And if you think about it, everything is logical: from EA no, Ferrari will select all Porsche. However, they forgot about RUF that we have an independent manufacturer. So, in order to deprive the Porsche, it is necessary to deprive the RUF, and it costs more. EA is not powerful publisher like Activision.
If one game bought the rights to the brand, the other is not able to buy them? After all, Audi in TDU 2 and NFS Hot Purshuit.

Audi don't belong to EA or Atari - they only give the license, and then doing all modelers. And Porsche is owned by EA. Feel the difference?
Electronic Arts => Need for Speed
Eeyore there are other good car simulators and racing =)
EA is not powerful publisher like Activision.
they are very much at war,and EA games themselves more,and they are much more powerful
I also think RuF is a Porsche tuningova Atelier in inten reality, RuF buys a Porsche only body and make the car. Sometimes they even buy parczewskie engines and convert them (and not Finish, for example), So it's a standalone product. I have the idea to configure the RUF in Gran Turismo as the Porsche, but where would the characteristics and parameters of suspension Porsche to take .... who knows ?
