![]() I discovered something interesting over the past week or so, it started with finding a manual for something called a "Porsche B32" on an eBay auction. On the auction pictures, a Vanagon was shown in the manual. With a bit of research, with information hard to find, I present you with a Porsche-badged, Porsche-factory-built and registered Vanagon, one of 10 or so ever built. ![]() Quote:

Wicked cool.
![]() Now that Porsche controls 50% or so of VW, let's hope they can pull off something this rad without anything as lame as the Cayenne.

OMG! This thing is probably incredibly dangerous to drive! A completely rear weight biased vehicle with no downforce in front. High rollover chance, vague steering and a chasis and panels made with leafs. Do I have to bring up the crash test of a VW Transporter where the cabin is smashed completely?
But I have to admit, it looks very cool

Isn't VW is testing a pickup variant of the Touareg right now? Guess whats next. Audi Q7 pickup, and then Porsche Cayenne pickup. |

As long as it comes with the Westfalia camper package, complete with stove, sink, and refrigerator, then I'm a...happy camper.

That looks badass.
231 hp means these van thingies will finally move at a speed faster than the regular house snail... |
