Did you know that Porsche, famous for the 911 Turbo and Boxter, originally made tractors?

Porsche ploughed their way forward back in the 1950s and 1960s, yet little is known about these fascinating and rare vehicles. Although all that's set to change, as there is now a website dedicated to them.

www.porschetractors.com gives an overview of the functional, but beautiful machines, and then details every model, complete with full-colour photographs. There's even one called the Coffee Train that was designed specifically for use on Brazilian coffee plantations!

What is perhaps more surprising is just how much of a collectors item these tractors have become.

They may not have a high top speed or fast acceleration, but these tractors are just as exciting to some, as today's high-performance Porsche sports cars!
