The Porsche Renndienst
In 1954, a dark red VW Transporter bearing the inscription “Porsche Renndienst” appeared along the route of the Mille Miglia for the first time. Porsche had converted a T1 for this purpose: Behind the front seats were shelves and a workbench, the cargo floor was reinforced to accommodate engines and transmissions, and additional lights made it possible to work at night.
The van transported mechanics, spare parts, and engines to places where large trucks couldn’t go: hill climbs, road races, and rallies. During longer assignments, it also served as a place for the team to sleep. Through the 1970s, additional vehicles based on the T1 and T2 followed, all in dark red.
Some of these vans have survived. Today, they are on display in museums and private collections.
