Mercedes-Benz Sprinter Grand Edition

This is probably the type of vehicle rap stars would carry their entourage around in. Known as the Mercedes-Benz Sprinter Grand Edition, the van is an exclusive luxury Sprinter by Mercedes-Benz of Manhattan of New York City.

“We are the only place where you can buy this,” said Vincent Varga, a sales representative for the Park Avenue dealership. “We have sold four of them.”

Offered exclusively by Mercedes-Benz of Manhattan, the Sprinter Grand Edition offers the comfort of a home and the convenience of an office on wheels. The model has its own Wi-Fi network, two 32-inch flat-panel monitors, driver/passenger seats with heat and massage features, four reclining captain chairs, CD/DVD/iPod and video game connection and a 30,000 BTU climate control system for the rear passengers. Power comes from a 3.0L V6 diesel with an output of 188-hp and 325 lb-ft of torque.

“Some people call it the stand-up Maybach,” Mr. Varga said.

Prices for the Mercedes-Benz Sprinter Grand Edition start at $189,850. The basic passenger version Sprinter runs for around $40,000.
