Pack your bags, you might have to travel to the UK soon. Only here will you find the new special edition of the Ford Transit SportVan, a pretty quick commercial vehicle that brings... a new color scheme: Metallic Silver with graphite racing stripes.
And if you’re preparing to say that just offering a new color won’t sell a car, we have to tell you that, the previous six shades, Performance Blue with white stripes (500 units), Sea Grey with silver stripes (80 vehicles), Panther Black with silver stripes (500 examples), Frozen White with blue stripes (80 units), Ink Blue with silver stripes (150 vehicles ) and Colorado Red with white stripes (250 examples) have immediately found owners.

This time, we get 180 units, with the vehicle being based on the Transit 260 short wheelbase version. Under the hood, we find a 2.2-liter TDCi unit that delivers 140 hp and is mated to a six-speed manual gearbox, using the front axle to send its power to the road.

The vehicle rides on 18-inch lightweight alloy rims, which come in a graphite finish and is accessorized with aggressive body parts. The interior doens’t necessarily offer sporty goodies, but you do get a generous list of features, such as a leather-finished steering wheel, cruise control, power windows, tined glass and others.

If you’re willing to carry your goods fast, be prepared to spend GBP23,670 (EUR27,200 or $37,072 at the current exchange rates)

PS: is that an oversized fake twin exhaust we see?
