Looks like it should be easy to turn around.

I pulled my 15' Boston Whaler with a '69 beetle, 53 HP I do believe, quite often. Pulling was a piece of cake getting it to stop was another story. I always made sure there was plenty of room and there were no problems. Young and foolish of course but it worked.

I hope your are not serious. In a turn the trailer would push that thing straight like it was a kids toy... you will have no steering at all. Even with a really good electric braking system on the trailer. I wouldn't even think of it.
*** Besides, I trust your kidding.

I love it! I think it is 5 times more fun than my Expedition Tow Vehicle, even if it is 5 times slower, but who cares?
Now just paint it the same color as your Porsche!

Not only "NO"....... but "HELL NO".
What IS the wheelbase on that pup? I can just about see that vehicle hanging over the side of a bridge; dangling (like a cat's toy) from you car trailer's hitch.

Yes, actually I would use it to tow an equipment trailer with a D8 Caterpillar as well. Uphill. In the snow. Both ways.

Tugging a D8...hhaha/ I would be suprised to see it move 10 feet before the tranny blew. Actually the pindle hook weight would probably lift the vw nose right off the ground.

That thing looks like a good candidate for a V8 conversion!
