The Petersen is back in action and busier than ever. If, like me, you’ve been itching to get out and see some cool cars and be around some cool car people the Petersen has you covered. Here’s the latest scoop on what the Petersen’s got for you:

Pfaffenhausen Speed Shop – The RUF Gallery
If you love Porsches, you probably already know about the epic Porsche event Luftgekühlt. The Petersen teamed up Luftgekühlt for a brand new, two-part exhibit series that you will love.
The first special exhibition, called “Pfaffenhausen Speed Shop – The RUF Gallery,” will features nine bespoke supercars and restomod classics from German manufacturer RUF, including the famed 1990 RUF CTR Yellowbird. That alone is worth the trip. But wait, there’s more. Other RUF goodies on hand include a 2012 RUF CTR3 ClubSport, a 2007 RUF Turbo R Cabriolet, a 2016 RUF Turbo R Ltd, a 2016 RUF Ultimate, a 1994 RUF RCT EVO narrow body, a 1994 RUF RCT EVO wide body and a 2015 RUF RT12R.
The second display, which is opening on Aug. 15, 2021, will explore the legacy of the legendary Porsche 956 and 962 models.
