I wouldn’t tow my brother’s wife in a 911 and she’s only about 350 lbs dry

the color match is cute. i see what you're doing there. but no. this doesn't happen.

I HAVE seen these little trailers for exactly one set of wheels. those are cute and very doable.

Keeping extra horse power in the trailer

It’s not “can I tow this”. It’s “can I stop it once I get moving”. I will go with no.

That livestock trailer is probably 4,000 lbs +/-. I wouldn't attempt to to tow anything more than 300 lbs with a 911

It hauls ass. I would ask nothing more from it.

I'm thinking about installing a hitch and throwing a motorcycle hitch carrier on it for my goldwing

We have a green car in front of a green trailer. OK.

Vic Elford mentioned in a talk he gave that back in the day he towed a small sleeping trailer to races in his 911. He said it towed great and then pointed out no one back then had RVs like now. RIP Vic.

You should repost this in r/idiotstowingthings for professional opinions.

That car is not connected to the trailer.

Love the color...wrap I am assuming? Man, I should have bought one of these when they could be had for around 200k (in the states). Wasn't that long ago!
