This Volkswagen Transporter is for sale<\/a> in Kerpen, Germany for \u20ac139,800 or about $159,827. The van was built by TH Automobile<\/a> in Berlin, Germany over the course of two years for \u20ac250,000 or about $285,095. The company replaced the entire powertrain and suspension from a Porsche 997 Turbo. The twin-turbo 3.6 L flat-six sends 580 horsepower (427 kW) thanks to GT2 turbochargers to the rear wheels through a six-speed manual transaxle with a Drexler LSD. The van rides on a height-adjustable sports suspension and Brembo six-piston calipers with 370 mm rotors in front and Brembo four-piston calipers with 365 mm rotors in back. Inside the cabin you find six individual seats covered in leather with the front two being from Porsche, a folding table, factory 997 Turbo steering wheel and panels. <\/p>\n
