Mercedes-Benz Viano Avantgarde Edition 125 - Click above for high-res images
Founded way back in 1886, Mercedes-Benz (http://www.autoblog.com/make/mercedes-benz/) is celebrating its 125th anniversary this year. And with a portfolio full of enticing products, the German automaker has plenty to choose from to turn into a commemorative special edition - the SLS AMG (http://www.autoblog.com/model/sls+amg), C63 AMG (http://www.autoblog.com/model/c63+amg) or even the formidable G-Wagen (http://www.autoblog.com/model/g-class), for example. So which did Mercedes go with? The Viano.
The special Avantgarde edition of the Silver Star van sold overseas gets a load of chrome trim to compliment the black or silver paint, plus 19-inch wheels and an interior decked out with six individual bucket seats (upholstered in either Lugano leather or Twin Dinamica microfiber).
Two V6 engines are available in the two-ton special edition Benz van: a 3.5-liter unit burning gasoline and churning out 258 horsepower, or a 3.0-liter diesel with 224-hp that will sprint to 60 miles per hour in 9.1 seconds. Read all about the surprising special edition after the break (http://www.autoblog.com/2011/03/11/mercedes-benz-celebrates-125th-anniversary-with-special-edition-viano/#continued).
