King of the Rabbits
desh - January 16th, 2009 at 08:46 AM

King of the Rabbits. Porsche produced four 928 V-8 powered Rabbits for Volkswagen as a publicity move. The cars were widened to fit the engines and even had to have custom windshields made. The cars were sold off into private hands and show up once in a while at shows. A few repros have also been made.
