This Is The Tow Truck You Want After Calling For Help

Very last year, the Mercedes-Benz Sprinter celebrated its 25th anniversary. The initial bus was released in 1995 as a alternative for the growing older TN, and Polish coachbuilder Kegger has determined to give the Sprinter a belated birthday reward in the form of a special edition tow truck.

What you see in the gallery under is not an official Mercedes-AMG products but a minimal edition product built by Kegger, which also celebrates twenty five years of existence. Logically, only twenty five illustrations of the special truck will be produced.

Dubbed the Sprinter Petronas Edition and that includes F1-encouraged livery, the truck is dependent on the most strong model of the Sprinter offered in Europe. The 319 CDI has a three.-liter V6 turbo diesel with a hundred ninety horsepower (142 kilowatts) and 324 pound-ft (440 Newton-meters) of torque, channeled to the rear wheels by means of a 7-speed computerized. This is one of the few tow vehicles you are going to ever see outfitted with an air suspension.

Visually, it features several revisions, including a entirely new front bumper with much larger air intakes and a modified lip spoiler. Blackened radiator grille and black 18-inch alloy wheels with a slender contrasting gentle blue stripe spherical off the visual enhancements. 

Get within the cabin and you are going to discover an unexpectedly at ease ambiance for a tow truck. A good deal of Alcantara leather with green stitching can be observed on the dashboard, seats, and door panels. Additional sound insulation in a blend with an upgraded audio system should really make a nice area to expend the doing work day in.

Of study course, becoming a tow truck, the Sprinter Petronas Edition has a flatbed at the back again, accessed by means of two retractable ramps. There are also a few large resource and cargo boxes integrated into the development of the bed.

Kegger wants €125,000 for the tuned tow truck, which translates to about $147,three hundred at the present trade charges.
