Emil Jellinek was a wealthy man who drove early Daimler engine developments because he raced their cars and required more and more speed. Just as I’m convinced that Thompson is the right man to inherit the big job at Jaguar, I’m equally certain that the departing Ian Callum will, from 1 July, become a massively successful freelance designer of cars, luxury luggage, and possibly even tanks. Those grippy Michelins and the lowered suspension mean the R-Spec corners well, and though the unavoidably high centre of gravity means it will lean quite a bit, it's a good job those Sparco buckets are fitted, because otherwise you’d be out of the seats before the Transit gives up grip. In Europe, diesel engines are already popular for its high power output. With excellent passenger room and an efficient turbo diesel makes this luxury class van ideal for long-distance trips, carrying passengers in both comfort and style.
An icon of good style in the luxury class is the Mercedes-Benz S-Class without any doubts. A good van partition should allow monitoring of the van area from the driver’s cabin. How many people can fit in a Sprinter Passenger Van? The ceiling, interior panelling and trim, stowage facilities and seats all combine to create a light and airy feel and a generous sense of space in the passenger compartment. In response to client requests for short, around-town transportation, Fertig added Brilliant Mini Buses based-on the 11-passenger Sprinter Passenger van. All these parts make up the standard Transit Custom upgrade, while MS-RT has added extra kit to the R-Spec in the form of super-bright Lazer spotlights and £500 optional 20-inch OZ alloy wheels wrapped in Michelin Pilot Sport tyres. But if you wanted to buy a fast Transit for the road, then your only choice has been to go for the racy looking Transit Custom Sport with the most powerful 168bhp diesel engine.
There are few certified Mercedes Sprinter conversion specialists and up-fitters specializing in custom tailored luxury vans. As of Jan 2012, Freightliner had plans to hire 1,100 more workers for its Cleveland, NC plant to add to the already 1,500 workers there. Based on a teaser sketch released back in September, the 2019 Sprinter will have a more aggressive exterior design and more distinctive headlights. Andreas Wuppinger, chief of exterior design, says: “We asked ourselves how we could fit a large usable internal space and some emotion into a limited external size. The sleek exterior moves the old car’s aerodynamics into a new dimension. The side power vents have the Jaguar name embossed on an ‘ingot’ bar across the centre, while the ‘venturi’ shape below the tail - which hints at the XF’s sophisticated aerodynamics - is positioned above large, stylised twin chrome tailpipes. The tail lamp graphics wrap around onto the rear wings, leading your eye out to the broad, muscular rear wheel arches.
The bright signature blade, which proudly carries the ‘JAGUAR’ script, appears to extend beyond the boot lid and into the tail lamps by aligning it with the clear ‘windows’ of the reverse/indicator clusters. The lamps use state-of-the-art LED technology to give the XF an unmistakeable night-time signature and an exotic personality. 5 pull-out drawers and 3 cabinets give you TONS of space to store food, kitchenware, gear, etc. All drawers and door faces easily removable to allow access to area behind cabinets. Those enhancements under the bonnet also give the TDCi a quicker response and a more honed engine note, so you don't really need the fake sounds to get a sporty feel. It’s part of the Advanced Navigation Pack (£495), but to spec it you’ll need to upgrade from the standard seven-inch central screen to the larger 10.25-inch display, too. When this happens, you need to check the panel underneath the steering wheel. The steering is light, and despite minimal body roll, it doesn’t feel like it’d take much to break the limits of grip. If a person wants to take a road trip in absolute luxury across Europe, then forget the back seat of a Rolls-Royce or Mercedes-Benz Maybach S-Class, and check out the opulently appointed Sprinter from Carlex Design.
Whether it's helping with childrens' homework, working out a complex business deal or eating a meal together, families and corporate travelers alike appreciate the comfort, convenience and productivity of Brilliant's Sprinter vans. We will even work out getting the vehicle shipped back to us after we work out a deal! Already several years ago Daimler launched a vehicle fleet of 100 smart electric drive that are operated by customers in London Metropolitan area. These are all made of high-grade materials, and when in place look like factory-fitted items. Externally, with the exception of wheel styles and a badge on the SV8, all cars will look the same - a customer is buying an XF, rather than an XF in a particular trim level. It gives the car a ‘ready to pounce’ look that suggests latent power and energy, the strong wedge profile of the waistline imparting a forward-biased dynamic before the car has even turned a wheel. Performers on tour, athletes and even royalty enjoy Brilliant's Sprinter vans.
