Torsus has dropped a very generous image gallery of their latest product, the Terrastorm, to celebrate its market launch in Europe.
Based on the Volkswagen Crafter / MAN TGE, it’s available in multiple configurations, either as a cargo van or passenger van with up to 20 (!) seats, and prices start at €57,461 ($67,386).
Engineered and made in Slovakia, the Terrastorm is offered with the 2.0-liter TDI diesel engine, in two power guises: 138 HP (140 PS / 103 kW) and 251 lb-ft (340 Nm) of torque, and 174 HP (176 PS / 130 kW) and 302 lb-ft (410 Nm). Power is directed to the 4Motion all-wheel-drive system via a six-speed manual or an eight-speed automatic transmission.
The off-road minibus is 236.2 in (6,000 mm) long, 81.3 in (2,065 mm) wide, and 113.4 in (2,880 mm) tall, with a 143.3 in (3,640 mm) wheelbase.

The Terrastorm is available in two trim levels, the TT1 Coach and TT2 Nomad, and both feature an upgraded chassis, off-road suspension, all-wheel drive with locking rear differential, visual makeover, front winch and scratch-resistant coating on the lower body panels. It also has a skid plate protecting the fuel tank, differential, engine, and gearbox, bull-bar, rear light grilles, roof rack with integrated lights, rear ladder and spare tire rack. It rides on 17-inch wheels wrapped in BFGoodrich all-terrain tires.
Inside, the Terrastorm can be customized to suit the needs of each customer. The cabin is lined with 1.2 in (30 mm) thermal insulation, has an anti-slip floor that’s easy to clean, and does not eschew the usual modern gear.
The Medivac Terrastorm variant has also been unveiled as a demo vehicle, which can be used as a mobile ICU or to transport patients. It can be equipped to comply with local regulations and features everything required from such a machine.
The Terrastorm can be purchased through Torsus’ international dealer network. The company is present on three continents, including Europe, South America, and Australia, and there are negotiations to expand to the United States and other markets worldwide.
