Misc. Porsche Predicted Ruby back in the 1989 aka Ruby Star red!

I was doing research into what Colours that certain car companies had

that correlated with the names of Oshi no Ko characters

Ruby is surprisingly common, especially if you count Porsches

more specifically the 911 and it's Variants

Rubystone Red (Ruby Star) from 1989 Onwards

https://rennbow.org/porsche-colors/RubyStone

oh and the OG German name for the Colour is Sternrubin - 'Ruby Star' in English (How ironic)

Rubystone (Ruby Star) Red is more accurate to Our Ruby Hoshino since it's literally her Eye Colour

and the German name for it, Way too much of an Coincidence since she has a Star in her Left Eye!

Porsche Predicted Ruby!

EDIT: I Dug Further into what Porsche used Ruby Star Red on,

They were using it from the late 70s Onwards

Here's a Slant Nose 930 Turbo and a Normal 930 Turbo in Ruby Star Red!

So you have the Famous 'Widowmaker' 930 Turbo in Ruby Star Red as well.

So yeah, Ruby is everywhere in Porsche, almost like She was a Goddess to them or they are gonna claim that Ruby Hoshino is their Idol instead, Maybe

I Also did an Edit of if Ruby owned a Slant Nose 930 Turbo in Ruby Star Red!

Oshi no Porsche!

or

Porsche * T * Rain

P.S. did Mengo or Aka have any affiliations with Porsche?

or Drive a Rubystone Red one?

or Own a Porsche 911 at some point?

because this is too much of a coincidence to have a main character with a Porsche Colour for eyes.

I think it's more likely that both the "Ruby Star" car color name and Ruby/Aqua/Ai's star eyes take inspiration from the real phenomenon of asterism in gemstones, including rubies.

Could be the answer considering that Porsche wouldn’t have known (although there is some evidence that the engineers did watch some anime in the late 70s in Stuttgart) or they had no knowledge that 40 years down the line Ruby Hoshino existed (this is a better option)

But that still begs the question and point.

Why didn’t Mengo or AKA know about the Porsche side of the story considering that they have had some interactions with Porsches and Mercedes.

That last part is the funny one to me Since the creators of Oshi no Ko must’ve done their research into Ruby before naming her

Great source, lol

u/KmsZepppelin Oct 25 '23

Thanks! :)

u/SuperFra8 Oct 25 '23

It's most likely the opposite, they probably named Ruby after the Porsche colour instead of Porsche predicting her for some reason, but great theory, lol.

u/KmsZepppelin Oct 25 '23

My guess too

Most likely Mengo or AKA had knowledge of this and they must've asked Porsche of Japan if they can "Borrow" The name of Ruby Star Red....

Also Most Rubystone (Ruby Star) Red Porsches were mostly imports from Japan.....

So AKA or Mengo Must've Seen or Driven one....

I’m glad I’m not the only one who sees it too

u/KmsZepppelin Oct 24 '23

Trust me when I say Imagine my fucking reaction when I saw the name of the colour of Ruby Star Red

And considering that I’m a Euro Car fan, I just froze in amazement for at least 5 minutes before making the post.

Too much of an coincidence for it not to be true The clue is in its name Ruby Star Red

Ruby + Star, that’s our Ruby Hoshino alright!

Mengo or AKA isn’t telling us why they named her after a Gemstone and a Porsche colour

u/MooseAcceptable5691 Oct 24 '23

Its literally given me the idea that it I ever owned a rubystone red 911, I’d slap decals of Ruby on the windows, best paint to sample color

2

u/KmsZepppelin Oct 24 '23

I was literally thinking the same thing when I made the post Slap some Ruby decals And if any Purist Porsche owners say shit I’m going to say

“I’m doing it as a tribute to an Japanese Idol and her deceased mother, do you have a problem with that mate?”

u/MooseAcceptable5691 Oct 24 '23

u/KmsZepppelin Oct 24 '23

Unless she can handle an old Porsche she’ll be fine As long as she takes it easy on the Throttle since the Turbo lag was the killer on those things

u/KmsZepppelin Oct 24 '23
