Ford Transit XXL 2007

Cars Mania Blog
Auto Car | Ford Transit XXL 2007 | Designed and built by the Transit team at Dunton as a special project, Transit XXL is based on Ford Transit standard components. Its structure consists of two short wheel base Transit Tourneo models which have been meticulously joined together to deliver a bespoke limousine that carries the driver plus seven passengers in full comfort.
Every passenger benefits from a leather-trimmed, seven-way fully adjustable Transit ‘Captain’s Seat’ complete with heating, lumbar adjustment and armrest. As you would expect, legroom and shoulder room are extensive!
This one-off vehicle has been designed to further demonstrate the Ford Transit’s flexibility and capabilities.



It measures 7.4 metres in length and has a wheelbase of 5.9 metres. This compares to the standard Tourneo length of almost 4.9 metres and wheelbase of 2.9 metres.
Transit XXL also features four full sliding doors – two on each side – while the entire vehicle benefits from privacy glass allowing occupants to be transported in appropriate anonymity.
The four opening side doors of the Transit XXL are complemented by the fact that it’s a right hand drive van.
When used in left hand drive countries, the Transit XXL driver can stop at the kerbside and be ready quickly to help passengers get in to or out of the vehicle – something that drivers of long limousine vehicles understand and appreciate.
The interior also features a fully fitted carpet made from the standard Tourneo item, and a floor to roof carpeted bulkhead behind the rearmost pair of seats which creates a separate luggage compartment accessible only through the tailgate-style rear door.



Passenger comfort is maximised through the use of front and rear air conditioning, with the rear being controlled via the passenger compartment making this literally the coolest Transit to travel in.
The team isn’t finished yet, and has plans to install a full in-vehicle entertainment system, including DVD player and games consoles, with individual monitors.
