Best of the Best
For those days when you prefer to leave the driving to someone
else, consider a chauffeur-driven Becker Automotive JetVan™
(from $125,000 to $275,000). "Not only does it give you
the ability to relax and enjoy," says Becker Automotive
Design CEO Howard Becker, "the amount of concentrated
work you can do in an hour's commute can be augmented by the
fact that you're on a wireless high-speed Internet. When you
get to the office, you're an hour ahead of where you would
have been."
Becker begins with a Dodge Sprinter, the U.S-market version
of Mercedes' globally popular Sprinter van, transforms it
with European trim, and adds special (but not ostentatious)
headlights, side steps, wheels, and tires. The brakes and
suspension are upgraded, and the engine to 200 hp and 300
ft lbs of torque.
Custom-designed to customer tastes and needs, JetVan™ interiors,
as the vehicle's moniker suggests, resemble those of private
jets, offering elements of a state-of-the-art mobile office
and top-of-the-line home theater. Even the intensity-adjustable
advanced LED overhead lighting emulates that found in private
aircraft. - GARY WITZENBURG |
