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.

Review: Saying Goodbye to the CC V6

For all its size and its global reach, Volkswagen is still, in many ways, a deeply human company. There was, for instance, the Bugatti Veyron an ego project if ever there was one. Then the purchase of Ducati, a move most called folly. And then there was the Phaeton, the Volkswagen that most folks can’t afford. Not only were these moves all strange, I’m sure that they made VW’s accountants furious. None of them made good business sense, but they were all deeply interesting and they all are evidence of the heart that beats at the center of VW. Among these follies is the CC, a car that everyone agrees is rakishly handsome, but that no one really wanted to buy. The car couldn’t last, but the world is brighter for its having been in it. With the approach debut of the Arteon, it seems like a good time to look back on its sadly departing predecessor. The version I drove, because I live in Canada, is a V6 Wolfsburg Edition, which apparently isn’t available in the States. Nor is the V6, not as...

T-Prime Makes World Premiere at Beijing

[ See image gallery at www.vwvortex.com ] The SUV segment is one of the fastest growing segments in the world and Volkswagen is showing the world how to do it. With the new T-Prime Concept GTE that was revealed today, the company is showing off all of the technology you can look for in its coming models. The T-Prime is a full-size hybrid SUV that can go up to 31 miles on a charge and gets 87 mpg. The hybrid power station is good for 375 hp and 516 lb/ft of torque and puts the power down with 4MOTION all wheel drive. It’ll get you up to 60 in six seconds. The concept’s real party piece, though, is its interior, which features exclusively touch, gesture, and voice controls. Everything from the infotainment, to the display, and even the gears are controlled by touch-screen. The T-Prime Concept GTE is bigger than the Touareg, and design elements are likely to find their way into all of their SUVs, of which there will be many. Volkswagen is also announcing that they expect to make an S...

Watch: The Stig Drives (nearly) Seven Generations of Golf GTI

With Volkswagen announcing “major” updates to the Golf, it seems an appropriate time to look back on what we’ve had so far. And who better to guide us through the rich history of the most popular European car ever made than Ben Collins, the former Stig? Some say he’s never met a GTI he doesn’t love, and that he can’t grow any of his own facial hair. All we know is … Ben Collins is actually a pretty solid presenter. Working his way through seven generations of the GTI (skipping over the Mk6) Collins tells us a little bit about each one and matches each mark to its corresponding facial hair craze. The Mk1 GTI for instance, is light and quick, but can lose traction under hard acceleration (in heavy rain). Despite that, Collins calls the Mk1 a “pure gem.” The Mk4, meanwhile, is a powerful return to form after the perhaps too sensible Mk3. Collins ends in the only way he could, with the Mk7, which accelerates faster than a Lamborghini Countach and is all kinds of wonderful. Watch, ...
