Powered by..? You guessed it: Porsche. That’s a nice uitsmijtertje at the Wörthersee-treffen.

Huge potent Porscheblokken in the back of Transporters are not very new, the concept was already a number of times (example 1, example 2, example 3) is used. That makes this blaasbus, however, no less fun.

The Zwiter Fred Bernhard built for six years on a old rotten Bulli, from 1962, and this is the crown on his work: a puntgave T1 with air-cooled six-cylinder engine and steering and remmerij from the 993 Bi-Turbo. Through a zesbak from the 996 GT3 to be the 530 hp and 757 Nm on the 285/30/18-schlappen released. The rubber is of course to BBS messages, that is in addition to Fuchs-vellings the only choice for such a beast.

Thanks to lavish carbongebruik explains the Bulli 1,500 kg in the scale, the 2.8 pounds per horsepower. Thanks to these modifications, the T1 are capable of 230 km/h.
