Hatmann Tuning has built its own version of the high-performance Mercedes-Benz Vito minivan. The tuning includes both exterior and engine upgrades.

Its 3.0-litre turbo-diesel V6 engine received a power bump from 190 hp and 440 Nm to 224 hp and 505 Nm. To make the “voice” of the minivan sound more aggressive, the tuner has installed a custom exhaust system with dual chrome end pipes. As for the power increase, it was achieved due to installing a new electronic control unit.

The car’s exterior was modified with the help of a front bumper splitter, side skirts and a panel decorating the rear bumper. The minivan rides on 20-inch light-alloy wheels with black spokes and low profile 245/40 tyres. Ride height was lowered by 30mm by using shorter springs, which helped to reduce body roll in corners.

The car’s interior cannot boast of any drastic changes. It now features new aluminium doorsills, custom floor mats with the tuner's logo and lacquer surfaces on the centre console.
