Volkswagen yesterday unveiled a brand new Caddy light commercial vehicle and first impressions are that it's a much more posh looking machine. After a long period of development, engineers managed to fit pretty much any type of modern technology imaginable on this worker's van, which probably inspired this graphic designer to create a hot version.
Say hello to the VW Caddy GTI, otherwise known as the van you need when something needs to be delivered in the middle of the Nurburgring. Want a new turbo for your VTEC in 1 hour or your money back? No problem for this thing.
X-Tomi design grafted the front bumper from the Golf GTI onto the Caddy and gave it the honeycomb grille and red stripe as well. Around the back, it looks like the side twin exhaust from the Polo GTI has been chosen, together with its bumper.
Since the Polish-built machine is mechanically related to the Golf 5, it could probably take one of the 2-liter turbo engines from the Scirocco or Beetle, which share components. Question is – why would anybody ever want a van with 210 horsepower?
To answer that question and beat around the bush in a delightful way, we'll remind you that Ford actually built a Transit Connect RS as a sort of crowd pleaser a few years back. To do that, they stuck the 2-liter turbocharged engine from the Mk1 Focus RS into the van, together with most of the sports suspension bits and the gearbox.
So you see, if the Blue Oval guys can build such a thing, why can't Volkswagen? It would probably make every VW worker in Poland very happy and might even be something cool to show the Worthersee crowd at the GTI Meet this year.
