When it comes to supreme comfort, Mercedes-Benz's answer only has one name, and that's the S-Class. The new V-Class isn't bad either, but it still has some way to go until it can rival the level of pampering offered by the limousine.
And it's not just comfort that needs to be taken into account, but also personal image. The extra room provided by the larger body might come in handy to people who prefer wider spaces, yet you don't see too many vans forming up lines to drop off Hollywood stars on the red carpet, do you?
Well, give one of them the contact of Redline Engineering, and we could very well witness a new trend emerging. The Russians aren't alone in this business of turning vans into peaceful cocoons, but their approach on this Mercedes-Benz V-Class is a bit special.
Yes, they do use higher quality materials, just like anybody else. They also change the layout, again, like everyone else. But there is something the other tuners aren't doing: installing BMW seats.
Yup, you read that right. If those rear seats you see back there looked familiar, it's because you've probably seen them before, only that time they were attached to a 7 Series BMW limousine. Why didn't they use parts from the S-Class? That's something only God and the people at Redline Engineering know, and I wouldn't vouch for God.
The result is something that runs the risk of offending both sets of fans, but mostly those who prefer the three-pointed start brand. However, the current owner of the modified V-Class doesn't seem to mind, using his new car as a mobile office while the driver carries him around Moscow. Unlike previous projects from Redline Engineering, this one doesn't come with a solid (and soundproof) separator from the front seats, so his driver must be a) extremely well behaved, b) a very pleasant company or c) all of the above.
