Opel has given the sporting touch to the Vivaro light commercial vehicle. The brand has announced the Opel Vivaro Sport to jazz up the Vivaro range with a few racy touches and plans to introduce the vehicle IAA Commercial Vehicle exhibit this month.
The Vivaro Sport was imagined to add to a portfolio of LCV to fit everyone’s needs. For the commercial consumer looking for something a little less mundane, that is the Vivaro Sport. The vehicle comes with silver or black decorative striping depending on the factory color selected, 17-inch aluminum wheels (which may also be finished in black) and fog lights.
“The Opel Vivaro Sport is the LCV highlight for our especially active customers,” said Steffen Rasching, Opel/Vauxhall Director Commercial Vehicles. “This exclusive variant once again demonstrates that commercial vehicles are no longer just practical work horses or voluminous multi-talent. They now offer elegance and comfort at passenger car level – including comprehensive standard equipment and athletic design.”
The sporty cues end with exterior trimmings, though. Don’t expect a go-fast engine under the hood, as the Vivaro Sport still features the frugal BiTurbo engine cranking out 125 hp or 145 hp depending on configuration. If you are looking for a seriously quick commercial vehicle, Irmscher will happily sell you tuned Vivaro for fast delivery.
Opel will be delighted to offer you the sporting package when it goes on sale with a price tag of €28,800, or $32,393 USD.

Kinda reminds me of the Ford experimental van some years ago. Seems they wanted a go fast van, so the body(mini) was mounted on a Indy chassis and requisite powertrain (may have been F!). It was fast, but really an oddball experiment.
