We all know that 'Speed Matters' on PistonHeads. The other certainty in life (apart from that ol' 'death and taxes' nonsense) is that the white van is the fastest vehicle on earth.
Thus, what better form of transport for the high-powered exec in a hurry than a Mercedes Sprinter van? Now, before you stop reading entirely in the belief that we have taken leave of our senses, bear with us - for we are not talking about your average commercial vehicle.
Rather, this is a modified Sprinter built by a US firm called Brilliant Transportation, which takes the humble Mercedes commercial vehicle and turns it into headroom-tastic sumptuous executive transport.
In fact, the Sprinter has been fitted out with all the trimmings of a business-class lounge. There is leather everywhere, four captain's chairs plus a three-seat bench, a pair of 32-inch tellies, eight-speaker audio, colour printers, 3G Wifi and even in-built Powerpoint for when you just
to make that presentation on the move.
If that appeals to you, then you're probably one of the "corporate management, entertainers and well-to-do families" that company founder Richard Fertig reckons "want to reclaim that dead in-transit time and who appreciate the size, height and overall comfort of a large van."
If you are, then you can sign up for one - Brilliant offers chauffeur-driven vans and mini buses on the east coast of the US, and in the Los Angeles area. Lovely.
