Η Airstream, παρουσίασε το νέο Autobahn πολυτελές van, το οποίο βασίζεται όπως φαίνεται και στην φωτογραφία, στο Mercedes Sprinter.
Το Autobahn, περιγράφεται ως ένα πολυτελές van που προσφέρει “ένα νέο standard στις VIP μετακινήσεις”. Το εξωτερικό, είναι απλό και διακριτικό και σε γενικές γραμμές, δεν προδίδει το υπερπολυτελές εσωτερικό. Εκεί, πηγή έμπνευσης, ήταν τα ιδιωτικά jets. 8 άτομα μπορούν να ταξιδέψουν άνετα. 6 από τα 8 καθίσματα είναι θερμαινόμενα ενώ κάθε θέση έχει ένα πτυσσόμενο γραφείο με έξοδο 120V και θύρα USB. Το πάτωμα είναι ξύλινο, υπάρχουν δύο ψυγεία καθώς και ένα σύστημα ψυχαγωγίας που αποτελείται από μία οθόνη LCD 32 ιντσών με Bluray player και Apple TV.
Κάτω από το καπό, βρίσκεται ένας τρίλιτρος turbodiesel V6 που παράγει 188 ίππους και 440 Nm ροπής. Φυσικά, η τιμή του Autobahn είναι σχετικά αυξημένη, αφού ξεκινά από τα 133.024 δολάρια.
