The iconic Petersen Automotive Museum in Los Angeles, USA, hosts an exhibition dedicated to the no less iconic RUF Porsche

The Petersen automotive museum in Los Angeles, United States, inaugurated a fabulous exhibition dedicated to the RUF Porsche, organized in co-authorship with the Luftgekült.

The Petersen Automotive Museum (official name) is one of the most important museums dedicated to the automotive world in around the world, it was founded in 1994 due to the passion of Robert E. Petersen, a media entrepreneur linked to some of the most important North American automotive culture magazines.

The original building underwent a major renovation in 2004 under the guidance of Kohn Pedersen Fox, who altered the facade originally designed by Welton Becket in 1962 and gave it the look that now fills all guides in the city of Los Angeles, California.

RUF Porsche was founded in 1939 by Alois Ruf, as a small garage in Pfaffenhausen, small Bavarian town in southern Germany. It was his son Alois Ruf jr. which, in 1974, would transform the brand into one of the most respected within the universe of companies authorized to “transform” Porsche, worldwide, having twice obtained the title of “The fastest production car in the world ”
