Obviously, this wasn't your usual track testing session that the peeps from Edmund's usually do with newly-released cars.
First of all because the Sprinter 2500 they used was actually a last year's model and second of all because it's a friggin' small apartment that can be driven.
Sporting a turbocharged three-liter V6 diesel that offers 190 hp (188 bhp) and 440 Nm (325 lb ft) of torque, which is paired with the old 5 G-Tronic automatic transmission, the 2.7-tons (6000 pounds) of car didn't actually fair too bad, all things considered.
Edmund's achieved a rather respectable 11.5 seconds time from naught to 60 mph (97 km/h), while the quarter mile (402 meters) was achieved in a not too shabby 18.4 seconds at 72.4 mph (116 km/h).
The jokers from Edmund's also put the gargantuan Sprinter van on the skidpad and on their slalom course, where it achieved a 0.62 G lateral acceleration.
All in all, they say that despite what everyone was thinking before, the Sprinter is actually not the slowest car they ever track tested, which kind of puts things in perspective. Check out their full review for all the spicy details.
