It wasn't a test. It was a photo op.

Watch the video where Matt Farah is mobbing around a fire road, or watch the video where he takes his Porsche off roading around town just hopping curbs with ease and blasting down dirt roads. It is like switching from a sport bike to an enduro.

Porsche design....mmmm. I know it's owned by Porsche HQ but to me it's just another fashion label; it has corporate ties to Porsche Cars but that's all.

Porsche was still a family owned company when the tractors were made. The ones with the Porsche label were built by Porsche.

"Porsche made tractors from 1937 until 1956 in collaboration with German company Allgaier GMBH and Austrian company Hofherr Schrantz with both companies using the Porsche engine design. In 1956 Porsche took over all tractor production and the tractors were named Porsche-Diesel."

One thing I always hated about Singer Porsches is their silly trademark of moving the fuel filler neck from the convenient side of the car to the extremely inconvenient location in the center of the hood.
