Default Pro-Touring VW T1 Bus

I guess you'll like this one (hope it wasn't posted before):



These guys from Switzerland built an awesome VW T1 bus. Took them 45 months for the first version, 6 years for what it looks like now. The bus features a twin turbo Porsche motor, Porsche brakes, BBS three piece wheels (235/35/18 front, 285/30/18 back), Bilstein suspension, cage, carbon fiber roof and lots of other good things.

Check out the gallery of the build-up (it's in German, but the pictures speak for themselves).

This thing drives:





Would you agree and consider this Pro-Touring?

I have to admit when I read the title of this thread I was all WTF? I drove a VW van in High School and it was anything but Pro-Touring. More like the rolling ice box during those long winters. This VW however get's my vote. That sucker is wicked.

Always loved the VW bus.
Not sure why, maybe it's the unexplored "hippie" in me, IDK, but that was cool

Makes me want to start a band.......
