911 Towcar

[zag]

This may sound a daft question, butI'm trying to avoid 4wd audi's etc - could a 911 tiptronic 4wd be used to tow a horsebox (1 up)? it seems heavy enough, should have good brakes & traction, but is the engine tractable? can anyone suggest a decent nimble small road sportscar which would be more suitable ?

How about a 928 ?, factory rated at 1600Kg towing capacity, 320 ft Ib V8 with comfort & handling that would embarrass plenty of current 'sports' cars

928 could tow ok on tarmac, but you still need 4wd to escape muddy fields - 1650 kg is about ok for towing box with 1 horse.
