A unique minibus nicknamed “Porsche B30” is currently up for grabs in Belgium, representing a marriage between a Transporter T3 body and a Porsche 911 engine.
The powertrain stems from a Porsche B32, which you can have a closer look at in the video attached. In early 1980s, a total of ten 911 SC-engined Transporters was built as convoy cars for North Africa. The company found the original engine not powerful enough, so it opted for the 3.2-liter flat-six swap. Some of these were later sold to private owners. Each could hit 100 km/h (62 mph) in just 8.3 seconds and could accelerate all the way to 200 km/h (124 miles per hour).
Powering this particular Porsche B30 is an engine rated at 204 PS (201 hp / 150 kW) and 265 Nm (195 lb-ft) of torque. The five-speed manual gearbox stems from a 1984 911 3.0 SC Carrera, and the entire drivetrain has been redesigned by 911 Motorsport. Elsewhere, the van features 16-inch Fuchs wheels, performance brakes, Bilstein shocks, a new fuel tank, a SCART stainless-steel exhaust system, a Porsche dashboard, and only three sport seats inside.
The 1982 year exotic with 27.5 kilometers (just under 17,100 miles) on its odo goes for nearly €85,000.
