Delta 4×4 Announces Off-Road Package for VW Multi-Van

 

The VW Van turned 66 years old this week, and what better way to celebrate senior citizenship than by going off the road?

German off-roading experts Delta4x4 announced today a new, aggressive package for the latest VW van model, the T6, that includes new shocks, wheels, tires, and a front bar.

The package combines to take the van from pedestrian to aggressive. With only a few more upgrades and some flat black paint, you could build a pretty respectable zombie survival machine, or a more-than-capable camper—depending on how firm your grasp of reality is.

The lift kit and the wheels combine to give you about two inches of extra ground clearance and the front bar was designed to hold optional PIAA lights. You also have your pick of 17, 20, or 22 inch rims.

The whole thing, with lights, starts at about $3,900 (roughly 3,500 euros). Sadly the company doesn’t ship to America, but European enthusiasts will now be able to go wherever they like.

The VW Van Sixth Edition:   VW T6 Multi-Van by delta4x4

Once a hit song entitled “At 66” conquered the music charts in Germany and the hearts of millions of fans. The tried-and-true T6 VW Van has conquered the streets over the past 66 years. A guaranteed best seller with a global fan base spanning all levels of society – all across the world.

“66 and still going strong” would be a good title now for the sixth generation of the VW Van. And just in time for its 66th anniversary delta4x4, the accessory specialist for all-terrain and cross-country vehicles has created a comprehensive accessories packet, including a good 5 centimeters in increased ground clearance.

To make this possible, delta4x4 offers the extra bonus of a lift-kit for the T6 with specially matched Bilstein shock absorbers for both the front and rear axles, lifting the chassis by 25mm. The remaining 2.5cm or 1 inch of ground clearance is gained by adding the 245/65R 17 all-terrain tires by BF Goodrich or Cooper, mounted on highly robust Rally-tested 8×17 inch WP aluminum rims. A front bar in compliance with the EU Personal Safety Guidelines adds to the visual effect and serves the function of holding the optional super-bright lights made by the Japanese Rally specialist PIAA. A sports-edition exhaust system provides the Van’s properly impressive sound and power optimization.

Since 66 is not the end of the line, delta4x4 has developed the off-road version and wheel upgrades for the VW T6 to 20 – 22 inches.  This allows for the use of the “Lander”- model rims from the delta all-terrain vehicle program, which are especially designed for high tire-loads and can be mounted without a change in lift. An additional off-road version based upon the welded single-piece “Legacy Forged” Rim is presently in the works.

More fun at 66! All upgrades are available for all of the VW T6 models and all motor versions, including the 4motion models. The “lift kit” including the Bilstein shock absorbers for the front and rear axles sells at a price of 1.490 Euros. The complete set of tires which includes four 17 inch delta4x4-WP rims with 245/65R 17 BF Goodrich tires sells for a price of 1.690 Euros. The 20 inch version, which can also be used without the lift, is available at a starting price of 2.290 Euros, and the 22 inch version starts at 3.250 Euros. The front bar with European road approval and tested for pedestrian protection criteria is offered at a starting price of 340 Euros. An additional accessory that is available: the LED super-bright lights made by the Japanese Rally specialists PIAA at 430 Euros.

Project SportWagen: Going Stage 2 with APR

    When we last left you, the humble little SportWagen was fresh from the development process with our friends at AWE Tuning, sporting a new downpipe, exhaust and intake, allowing things to breathe a bit easier.  The car sounded great, but there was no getting around the fact that our wagon was still quite, well, slow.   While we realize that nothing we do to the Golf SportWagen at this point will make it a race car, we still felt compelled to do something .  To put it bluntly, we had a fever, and the only cure was more power. Flash forward a few hours, and we found ourselves at Waterfest, staring down APR’s palatial spread and the numerous tuned vehicles surrounding it.  Earlier in the year, APR had hinted to us that their 1.8 TSI files would be quite impressive, and based on what they were able to do with the 2.0 TSI found in the new GTI and our time in their Golf R, we knew it’d be worth the wait.  So with this in mind, we lined our G...

Volkswagen Group Records Best Ever First-Half-of-Year Sales

With 5.5 million vehicles in customer hands after the first six months of 2018, the Volkswagen Group is seeing the best performance of its history. Group deliveries increased significantly in all core regions,” said Fred Kappler, head of sales for the Group. “Our core brands recorded strong growth in the first half year.” For the year-to-date, all of Volkswagen’s brands had sales bumps. MAN, SEAT, and Skoda led the sales charge with performances 24%, 17% and 11% better than the previous year. The big sellers, too, had strong sales periods, with Volkswagen Commercial Vehicles, Audi, and Volkswagen sales rising 3.5%, 4.5% and 6.3% respectively. That last figure is particularly good new for the board, since Volkswagen alone sold more than 3 million vehicles in the first half of 2018. As Kappler stated, the numbers are equally good when you break sales down by region. Brazil and Russia were the most improved markets (22% and 20%, respectively), while strong sales in Europe and China (u...

Project Golf SportWagen- Intro

I’ve never really been one for SUVs and crossovers.  The current offerings aren’t the body-on-frame, go-anywhere specialty tools I remember from my youth, and what they lack in capability, they also lack in on-road performance. The current crop isn’t terribly good at handling or being efficient, which in my opinion are major components of our ideal driving experience.  So when it comes to space or utility, I usually look for something of the wagon variety- and it seems that I’m not alone. We hit quite a few shows around the east coast each summer, and we see modified Jetta SportWagens at nearly every event. Even amongst common consumers, these cars are highly sought-after. They don’t depreciate much, making even early Mk 5 2.5 versions expensive in comparison to other Jettas or Golfs of the same vintage. This year, Volkswagen launched their latest SportWagen, which is now billed as a Golf.  In many ways, this latest SportWagen is the best yet and it has certai...
