Visually, the B32 will be distinguishable by the front and rear skirts, a set of 16-inch Fuchs wheels, extra side vents for engine cooling, and a much larger tailpipe. The interior will be upholstered in Caravelle Carat, although the highlights will be the Porsche badge on the steering wheel, Carrera on the rear and the extra gauges on the lower end of the center console.

We’re undertaking the creation of a remarkably accurate, visually and mechanically faithful replica of one of the rarest and most fascinating vehicles Porsche ever built – the 911-powered VW T3 B32. A true cult classic, the B32 is a vehicle few know existed, yet its origin is deeply rooted in Porsche’s motorsport history.

Originally developed by Porsche in the early 1980s to support its factory 959 entries in the grueling Paris-Dakar Rally, the B32 was far more than a parts hauler. It needed to keep pace with rally cars across extreme terrain, prompting Porsche engineers to replace the VW Transporter’s standard engine with a rear-mounted 3.2-litre flat-six engine sourced from the Porsche 911 Carrera, delivering 231 horsepower. This transformation allowed the B32 to provide high-speed support in remote desert environments – a necessity during one of the toughest endurance rallies on the planet.

In our tribute to this legendary machine, we are building a replica that mirrors the original in both spirit and specification. Our B32 will feature the same 3.2-litre flat-six, mated to a Porsche 915 gearbox equipped with an external cooler for durability. A Koni suspension setup will ensure handling composure, while upgraded brakes will provide the stopping power needed for its increased performance.

Visually, our recreation will include key identifiers such as front and rear aerodynamic skirts, iconic 16-inch Fuchs alloy wheels, extra side vents for engine cooling, and a pronounced tailpipe – all hallmarks of the original B32. Inside, the cabin will be trimmed in plush Caravelle Carat upholstery, with unique touches including Porsche-badged switchgear, additional gauges integrated into the lower center console, and a subtle but unmistakable "Carrera" script on the rear.

This is more than a tribute – it’s a celebration of a Porsche secret weapon, reborn with painstaking attention to detail and engineering precision.
