I don't know, it's not that horrible. It looks well executed.
My real curiousity is about the drive train.

Those pics inthe first two posts were covered in detail in a recent GT Purely Porsche or 911 mag less than 2 months ago. The article also covered a comparison of one made for a Porsche family member, and one made by a guy like us.

The braking has to be a mess. No weight on the rear, yet four (what appear to be) Big Reds clamping down.
It just doesn't make sense (but, it is done well).

The silver 6-wheel truck is 70 cms longer than a starndard 928 and has a 6.1 liter stroker engine with 390 HP. Initially the added rear axle reduced traction, which was eventually solved when they found the right types of springs.
The owner (Harry Thoma) already had a Ferrari, Rolls Royce, and Lamborghini, so he wanted something different that not 'everybody' could buy... Last edited by Nicole; 10-26-2005 at 10:53 PM.. |

Short wheelbase with tandem axles....I can only believe it's a nightmare to turn, and must wear out a set of tires in a week!
Which would wear out first, the front rears or the rear rears? Oh, heck, who cares? p.s. Nicole- you must post a pic of something....car? dog? hot friends?

That pic with the rear window defroster ... something not right about that one ... is it Photoshopped? I have seen a number of these trucks, one in person, but this pic ... is it fake?

I like the El 928 in the spirt of the 1960's-early 1970's attitude that anything goes. Way better than the SUV station wagon wearing a Porsche badge these days.

I know what is missing from that "928"...
A fifth wheel in the back. That way you can use it to haul your Porsche race car to the track.

It has finally happened. Now we see what the final consequences are of the "if it feels good, do it" generation.
And there goes the man being rational concept.
