Art & Inspiration If Porsche raced a tractor at Bonneville...

Hi TJM, I know this is an old post and not sure if anyone will actually see it but I will give a whirl. Back in 2019 when I came across this post and you mentioned a Turbocharged Porsche tractor I was very excited, could it be true.

I had been looking for information on the possibility of a Turbocharged Porsche tractor mainly because in 2018 I actually Turbocharged a 3 cylinder Porsche tractor. The tractor was given to me by a good friend and after I designed, built and installed the kit and showed it to him he put a gag order on me until 2023 so we could take it to RENNSPORT REUNION VII in Monterey Ca. When I came across this post I wanted badly to share the pics of my tractor but my friend said no.

In 2018 Porsche Cars Of North America invited the Porsche tractors to the show which is the largest invitation only Vintage Porsche show in the world. The 2023 show that was just held last week
September 26-October 1 was the 75th anniversary of the Porsche brand.

I submitted my entry in September of 2022 and was accepted in to the show. The turbo tractor was a huge hit and crowd pleaser and now that the show is over and there is many pics out in the public
I wanted to revisit this post and confirm that NO Porsche did not make a Turbocharged Tractor prototype or otherwise, BUT I DID and my main goal was to have it look like if they had made one this is what it would look like.

I hope everyone that commented or followed this post wil see this because it is really cool and I am very proud of it. I will also try and post a link to the Porsche Diesal/Allgaier forum in Facebook. The post there has a lot of information about the build and I will continue to add pics and details as time goes on

I'm not a fan of Porshe but that's some very slick engineering and fabrication.

 

It maybe non traditional but you can still appreciate the work gone into it and you might just steal a few ideas from an engineering perspective. Makes a change from belly-****on Fords with devon slicer tyres.
