If you own a motorcycle and haul it around, you’re going to dig VW’s new Multivan PanAmericana study that came to the Frankfurt Auto Show.
Boxy vans like VW’s Transporter series won’t wake up your taste buds, but they make up for it with their versatility and adaptability allowing for all sorts of configurations to meet a diverse range of needs.
In the Multivan Panamericana’s case, it can easily and effortlessly transport your motorcycle when needed. What sets it apart is an electrically assisted loading and unloading ramp positioned next to the rear passenger seat, complete with special hooks to secure your precious two-wheeler, which in the display model was a sexy Ducati.
To make you feel better while transporting your superbike, VW gave the Multivan some unique styling cues and upgrades, including red, black, and sating gray highlights, bigger alloy wheels, and metal underbody guards on both ends on the outside, plus aluminum diamond plate instead of the carpeted floor and carbon fiber-look interior trimmings on the inside.
The PanAmericana is based on the Multivan 4Motion powered by a 204PS (201hp) and 450Nm (332 lb-ft) 2.0-liter turbo diesel paired to a 7-speed dual clutch transmission and permanent all-wheel drive with a mechanical rear differential lock.
