Hooniverse Weekend Edition: It's Not Sports Car Sunday!


Now this olelongrooffan can hear my fellow Hoons shouting “It’s not Sports Car Sunday! What’s up with the Lamborghini shot?” It’s like this my fellow Hoons, in my initial post about this show, I commented about the broad enormous range of vehicles at it. And this post is about a couple extremely rare vehicles.

I would suspect my fellow Hoons know that Lamborghini started his super car company after Enzo Ferrari refused to build him a car outfitted as Lamborghini wanted.

I would also suspect that my fellow Hoons are aware of the business Lamborghini was in prior to establishing the Lamborghini auto company.

He built tractors. Yeah that’s correct tractors.

And, as far as tractors go, they are rather attractive. This is the first one this olelongrooffan has ever seen. Not only that but parked alongside this Lambo was

another rarity, a Porsche Diesel Junior tractor. Another first for this olelongrooffan. I was unaware Porsche ever built anything other than Porsche automobiles.

It was a bit smaller than the Lambo but equally as pretty.

If my fellow Hoons have ever seen a Ford 8N, these are about the size of one of Henry’s products.

The data plate on this one is in German so I would suspect this is a grey market tractor.

There is a diesel engine in there somewhere.

Even from afar they are a good looking pair.
See this olelongrooffan told you there was damn near everything at this show! And I haven’t even gotten to the McLaren or the 1926 Studebaker ambulance yet!

    Thank you for posting these! Given the choice between any Lanborghini and Porsche car or tractor, I would take a tractor. I'm dead serious, I don't have a farm, I don't have a way to transport those tractors, but I would still take one over any cars made by either manufacturer. I would just drive it up down my driveway and rent a truck and trailer to bring it to farm shows once in a while.
    Then again, I'm strangely attracted by the Panamera…

    Believe it or not, Lamborghini still makes tractors… and from the looks of it they use the same design teams and marketing department as their cars. Behold the Lamborghini R7!

    It's apparently capable of plowing lava flows!

      GT40: Ground Tiller, 40 feet per minute.
      (I don't know anything about plowing, I suspect that's really fast or really slow).

    A grey market tractor? That's a new one on me. I wonder if the Feds want you to put 1 mph bumpers on them and detune the engines?

    The Volvo BM. Apparently very good for spreading manure.

      I was hoping for Volvo content in these comments.
