In Belgium, a unique 1982 Volkswagen T3 is up for sale. To start with, the van is priced at a whopping 85 thousand euros – equivalent to a new Volkswagen Touareg in a very decent configuration.
Naturally, the Volkswagen T3 is no ordinary van, as it was modified by Porsche specialists. They needed a “technical vehicle” to accompany test cars during trials in North Africa.
Since a standard Volkswagen Transporter could not possibly keep up with Porsche sports cars, it was decided to add power by installing a 3.0-liter 204-horsepower flat-six engine and a 5-speed manual transmission from a Porsche 911 SC.
The result is 0 to 100 km/h in 8.3 seconds and a top speed of 200 km/h. However, the tuning of the Volkswagen T3 did not stop there – a SCART exhaust system, Bilstein shocks, and upgraded brakes were installed.
The van can be recognized by the body kit and 16-inch wheels from the same Porsche 911. Inside, attention is drawn to the sports seats and numerous Porsche logos.
The car is in excellent condition, with a mileage of just 27,500 km.
