VIDEO: Porsche with trailer sets lap record

This week’s prize for outrageous marketing stunt goes to a German specialty trailer manufacturer who hitched up to a Porsche for a record-setting lap around a famous race track. If it’s Friday and it’s a YouTube clip, then you’ve reached the latest installment of Thank Goodness It’s Video (TGIV).

Here are the basics: Buchholz-based Moetefindt Fahrzeugbau builds custom trailers and has a significant presence in the European luxury and sport carhaul market. So what better way to get the attention of people who transport expensive vehicles than to combine their favorite things: a beautiful car, Nürburgring, speed, and your product. And for good measure, throw in a second Porsche—this one a vintage farming tractor—for a trailer load.
