mattress-moving Porsche 911 Turbo

Quick: What's the world's most practical supercar? We're sure some Corvette and GT-R fanatics would answer otherwise, but we're going to go with the Porsche 911, in one of its many fantastic iterations. Narrowing it down a little further, we'll go with the 911 Turbo coupe, which offers at least vestigial rear seats, all-wheel drive and several hundred horsepower, all lined in a sumptuously luxurious leather-clad cabin.

Plus, as demonstrated in the video after the break, the 911 Turbo can also pull part-time duty as a small pickup truck. Don't believe us? See for yourself.
