1956-1963 Porsche Super Diesel nominated by @Cowboy



Information: This was the one of two tractors made by Porsche that advanced past the prototype stage. The Super diesel is known for it's unique design; it certainly did not look like a tractor of the 1950’s and 1960’s. It is powered by an air-cooled, four-stroke, 2466 cc, three-cylinder diesel. Over 125,000 Porsche-Diesel tractors were produced, many of them still in daily operation on farms and ranches all over the world. They were priced at $3,500 USD at the time.​
 
Cooler than any 991 model ever made.
 
I know nothing about it but it gives a first impression of being cool.
 
The engine is in the wrong place.
 
Old tractors are always very cool in my book.
 
Utility vehicle. Uncool.
 
I'd rather have a Ford or John Deere tractor of the same era.

Meh.
 
Tractors aren't cool and Porsche tractors are even less cool.
 
SU. Not because it's an uncool tractor or because Porsches are inherently uncool. I think it's actually a very cool tractor, but all that will ever happen is either the driver jokes about having a Porsche or people see the badge and get confused, so that's not very cool.
 
What a hilarious (and convincing) way to say that you own a Porsche.

I have to say the the Lamborghinis are cooler, though:

Conformation
From the picture it looks like the engine is in the entirety of the tractor.

I think that Joey is joking that the engine is at the front, not the rear like the 911s. I know I could be wrong.
