Yes It's Real




 
"Porsche "Coffee Train" P312 Salvaged from death by rust in a Brazil warehouse, freighted to the UK by sea in 2000, and, after two years being renovated, this extraordinary machine is complete. It is believed to be the only complete and running example of the 300 or so Porsche tractors designed to work on coffee plantations and exported to Brazil".

Coffee Train

"One of the more interesting models produced during these years was the Porsche P312, manufactured for coffee farmers in Brazil, also known as the Kaffeelug or ‘coffee train’. An Allgaier tractor was used to form the basis of the P312, and it was modified at the factory to run on petrol, possibly due to concerns on the part of the coffee farmers about the impact of diesel fumes on the flavour of their coffee. Around 300 of these unusual machines were made, each powered by a 1.8l engine producing 24.2 bhp. Looking more like a submarine or an Oscar Mayer Wienermobile than a tractor, its unusual design was the result of a need to be as unintrusive as possible while moving through the delicate coffee plants".
