Does anyone know anything about these VW/Porsche people carriers?

Quote; Porscheplayground.com....

...."Very rare Porsche Van, probably only 5 cars built. Porsche Carrera 3.2-litre engine with 231 hp, Porsche 5-speed gearbox, Porsche disc-brakes. The only car in Switzerland! Last inspection 02.08.

That's it. Was it factory made? What and who made it? I don't know. Need to do more research. Supposedly ten were made."

They even have an official Porsche owners manual with it. (See pic.)

In a word, Scary. :D

Driving anything that high quickly would be like mountaineering on stilts.

Hope it has Porsche suspension to go with the engine drivetrain and brakes.

I think it does have Porsche suspension and brakes....This is an official Porsche product, it's not a conversion.

I'm sure Porsche worked their magic on the handling front. :twisted:

Umm I read 0-60 in under 8 seconds & 125MPH top speed :o I bet that would upset the reps in their 3 series & A4s in the outside lane!
