The ultimate trackday van?

If your pockets are deep enough to have an extensive toy budget, then how about this new Volkswagen van unveiled at the Frankfurt show last night?

The Multivan PanAmericana concept is specifically targeted at motorcycle riders who want to conveniently transport their bikes over long distances to their favourite tracks or riding locations. It even boasts an electric load ramp and interior mounting hooks to make sure your bike goes in safely, and is securely held in place.

The latest generation Transporter is already on sale in the UK, while VW say there are no current plans to bring this concept to the UK market. Of course, you could just order one in Germany, ride over for a Sachsenring and Nurburgring trackday, then sling the bike in the back and drive home…
