The merchandising game is strong with Italian racing superstar Valentino Rossi, and I don’t think the collection is missing something. Oh wait... branded cars. But now you can have such a thing if you live in Europe as the first custom models are rolling in.
To achieve this, Rossi has continued his partnership with Ford and their newest creation can be seen in the shape of the VR46 Ford Transit and the VR46 Ford Ranger, both coming with custom bodywork, racing oriented interior and the well-known “46” logo.
The Transit Tourneo will be limited to just 460 units available throughout Europe and the UK. The van will feature an all-black theme, big multispoke rims, VR46 inscriptions, and stitchings on the seats along with a new steering wheel and leather upholstery.
Mechanically, the super-van comes with a modified suspension as well as a sportier exhaust. The rims I was talking about are provided by OZ, and they seem to fit the whole setup pretty good.
Moving on to the Ford Ranger, the custom pickup truck will be available in the same 460 limited units number scattered throughout dealers in Europe and the UK.
It’s interior follows the same leather and stitching recipe while the exterior gets a matte black them along with the “46” logos and beefy off-road rims. However, it does come with more eye-candy than the van.
Look closely and you’ll spot it has more aggressive bumpers, a bash plate up front, flared wheel arches with huge mud guards and even a LED light rack on the roof.
The suspension looks to be modded too with the Ranger here sitting higher than a standard one. Moreover, the extended wheel arches notify that the front and rear track have been widened to provide more stability in off-road situations.
There is no price information at the moment, but we expect them to go on sale for at least three grand more over the stock versions.
