At the latest IAA Hannover, German tuning company Heinz Hartmann GmbH unveiled a one-off minivan project called the Mercedes-Benz Vito 119 Mixto BlueTEC W447. Let us have a look at it, shall we?
The team outfitted the van with a VP Spirit body kit consisting of a front spoiler lip, neat side skirts, a redesigned rear apron with dual tailpipes at the right side, and a rear wing.
Aside from the aero parts, the car gained a stylish film wrap and an opulent set of 20-inch Hartmann Vest 1 wheels finished in glossy black with red accents. The tuner lowered the suspension by 30 millimeters (1.2”) for the rims to look perfect in their respective arches.
By means of a simple chip tuning, Hartmann raised the output of the stock 190-hp V4 to 220 hp (164 kW) and 505 Nm (372 kW) of torque. They complemented the upgrade with a special sound module imitating the soundtrack of a gasoline-powered V8.
The interior of the upgraded minivan looks nothing like stock. There is expensive leather trimming covering the seats, the dash, and the door panels, aluminum pedal pads and carbon decorative elements here and there.
The unique Mercedes-Benz Vito 119 Mixto BlueTEC W447 costs €74,000.
