This 6-Wheeled Porsche 928 GTS Pickup Is One Wild Custom Build

Outrageous Ingenuity - In a world where pickup trucks are no longer just rugged utility vehicles but bold expressions of power and personality, it's fascinating to see how far enthusiasts and builders are willing to push the limits. Whether it’s about function or pure flair, creativity in the automotive world has no boundaries — and the transformation of a Porsche 928 GTS into a six-wheeled pickup might just be one of the most eye-catching examples of all.

Meet the wild brainchild of German mechanic Harry Thoma, a man who looked at a sleek, powerful Porsche 928 GTS and thought, "This could use two more wheels and a truck bed." What began as an ordinary grand tourer ended up as something extraordinary — a full-on custom 6-wheeled pickup that’s part Porsche, part utility monster, and entirely unique.

Thoma isn’t new to the world of performance and exotic cars. His garage is already home to a host of high-end speed machines, including Ferraris, Lamborghinis, and Mercedes. But even surrounded by such automotive royalty, he still craved something different. Something not just fast, but outrageous. So, instead of waiting for inspiration to strike, he rolled up his sleeves and decided to build it himself — a Porsche that could carry cargo and turn heads like no other.

The build began with a standard Porsche 928 GTS, a model already known for its front-mounted V8 and muscular design. But Thoma had bigger plans — literally. The rear of the car was cut and extended to make space for a second rear axle, turning the car into a 6-wheeled beast. The chassis was stretched by roughly 70 centimeters, and galvanized steel plates were used to reinforce the newly formed pickup bed. This wasn’t just a cosmetic change; the modification involved serious structural work and a lot of trial and error.

 

At the heart of this Frankenstein-like creation remains the 5.4-liter V8 engine. While the original output of 350 horsepower was nothing to scoff at, Thoma pushed it even further to 390 horsepower to compensate for the added weight and ensure the car still performed like a proper Porsche. Initially, traction was a major issue — understandable, considering the unconventional drivetrain setup — but after a few tweaks and test runs, the car ran smoothly, even with the added wheels.

There’s still some mystery around the drivetrain. It’s not entirely clear whether all six wheels are driven or if only four are active. Either way, it’s safe to say this isn’t your average 928 GTS. With polished multi-piece wheels, a functional pickup bed, and a body that somehow maintains Porsche’s flowing lines despite the radical transformation, the end result is surprisingly cohesive.

What makes this car even more fascinating is the story behind its debut. The project kicked off around 2003 and took nearly two years to complete, culminating in its first public appearance at the 2005 Wörthersee Tour in Austria — a legendary gathering that draws custom car enthusiasts from across Europe. In a sea of modified machines, Thoma’s six-wheeled Porsche instantly grabbed attention as a bold expression of creativity and hands-on engineering.

 

Its arrival at Wörthersee wasn’t just a reveal — it was a full-blown statement. While some Porsche purists may have flinched at the sight of a grand tourer turned pickup, there’s no ignoring the sheer craftsmanship, originality, and vision behind the build. With its wild proportions and unmissable presence, the car manages to blend sports car DNA with utility-inspired attitude — or at least the visual drama of it. | YClqEQftcdY |

This custom Porsche 928 GTS pickup isn’t just a car — it’s a conversation starter, a crowd-stopper, and a brilliant example of what happens when passion meets craftsmanship. Harry Thoma didn’t just modify a car; he created something that lives on as one of the most outrageous and memorable custom builds to ever wear the Porsche badge. *** [EKA | FROM VARIOUS SOURCES | BLACKXPERIENCE | AUTOEVOLUTION | FLATSIXES | SIXMANIA.FR | AUTOFORUM.CZ ]
