Carbon-fiber aerodynamic kits for vans
may be an outlandish concept for many of us, but there is no denying the
popularity of the phenomenon. Even such renowned tuners as Prior Design are in
the game now.
The PD-VIP1 Aero-Kit targets the
Mercedes Sprinter van, and it has to be said, the German company did its best
to turn it into a Mercedes-AMG lookalike. Highlights at the front end include
the giant front apron with air intakes, the LED DRLs and the new radiator
grille, which you can get with the usual Mercedes star or the Prior Design
logo.
The hood and the fenders now have
openings for air circulation, and the wheels are forged – in other words,
everything about the PD Sprinter screams, ‘I am a purebred sports car’! The low
side sills, rear diffuser and roof wing round off the list.
For an extra few grand, Prior Design
will replace the tailpipes or even the entire exhaust system, lending it a more
impressive soundtrack.
