It's not unusual to hear about car engineers and designers owning interesting cars, but we weren't expecting this. Andreas Preuninger, head of GT cars at Porsche, revealed that he drives a RAM 1500 when chatting withRoad & Track. Yes. You read that right. The guy responsible for the 997 GT3 RS 4.0, Cayman GT4, and 911 R owns himself a big chunk of Americana. We'll let him detail the specs.

"It's got a single cab, Hemi V8, long bed, Magnaflow exhaust, and 22-inch wheels," Preuninger says excitedly. "I love it."

Preninger's RAM is painted yellow with black stripes and is nicknamed "Rumble Bee," just like the 2013 concept pictured above. He uses it to tote around his dirt bikes and to remove waste from his home garden. For a guy who spends a lot of time on the Nurburgring, the RAM is a refreshing change of pace.

"Sometimes you need a reset button," he says. While a 911 GT3 and a RAM 1500 seem like they couldn't be further apart, Preuninger says they both have something in common.

"The one thing it shares with our cars? It has character," Preuninger explains. "It has to produce a smile on your face. You want to pat the roof when you get out."

That said, we're still pretty surprised Preuninger drives a RAM, but honestly? We think it makes him cooler. There are a lot of interesting cars and trucks in the world, and it's always great to see someone that appreciates things on opposite ends of the spectrum.
