There isn’t much of a market for tuned vans, yet this hasn’t discourage Hartmann’s VanSports division which has dropped new parts for the Mercedes-Benz Sprinter Tourer. While the standard and LWB versions of the Sprinter measure 3,665 and 4,325 mm between the two axles respectively, the Tourer has a much shorter 3,250 mm wheelbase.
Now, technicalities aside, let’s move on
to the actual changes, which are very discreet, to say the least. This Sprinter
Tourer sports a spoiler lip attached to the front bumper, rocker panels and an
apron at the other end. These lements were adapted prior to painting and
installation, as they are usually available for the longer variants of the
vehicle.
VanSports also offers its VEST1 wheels on
the Sprinter Tourer. The 20-inch light alloy rims that were developed in-house
have a double-spoke pattern, glossy black finish and are wrapped in 255/45
Continental Sport Contact tires. As a final touch, Hartmann’s LCV division has
made this ride wheelchair-friendly.
They didn’t draw the line here, because
depending on what the customer wants and how much they’re willing to spend,
VanSports can do much more to the Sprinter including a more aggressive exterior
kit and more luxurious, custom leather interior among other offerings.
