VW T6 by MTM
The new VW T6 E-Motion hybrid doesn't
come from the factory as the name suggests, but straight out of the MTM tuning
house.
Instead of fiddling with bigger turbos
and other traditional ways of making more power, MTM took the liberty and
created a hybrid powertrain for the T6, based on the 2.0-litre BiTDI engine.
The twin-turbodiesel engine now makes
240 hp and is paired with VW’s seven-speed double-clutch gearbox. MTM added a
pair of 15 kW electric hub motors at the rear axle, making this T6 essentially
an all-wheel drive model. The additional 42 hp brings the power up to a combined
282 hp and more importantly 1100 Nm of torque.
MTM claims a 0-100 km/h in 8.2
seconds and a top speed of 215 km/h. Unlike the released image, the
show car will ride on Bimoto 9x20 alloy wheels shod in 275/35 Michelin Pilot
Super Sports.
