New from Voltari- the all-new, second generation 2008 Voltari Traveller. Sporting a series of powerful and efficient engines, an all new 7-speed VSS (Voltari SpeedShift) automatic transmission, and standard full-time torque vectoring all-wheel drive co-developed with Haldex, it truly is a car for all seasons. The all-new Traveller is also the first Voltari to feature their new ''IntelliKey" system, allowing the driver to lock all 4 doors with the press of a button, and unlock the doors simply by touching the door handle. This new feature is standard on all Travellers, and will slowly become available on select models in Voltari’s lineup starting in the spring of next year. The Traveller goes on sale worldwide in the winter next year. Pricing and other information will be announced closer to it’s on-sale date.
First up in the Traveller lineup is the 3200D, pictured here in Ocean Blue Metallic. The 3200D is powered by an all-new in-house designed 3.2 liter V6 turbodiesel, producing 345hp and 405lb-ft of torque, allowing it to return 30mpg combined. The 3200D’s engine is mated to the heavy-duty version of the 7-speed VSS automatic, and torque vectoring all-wheel drive.
Next up in the Traveller Line is the 3500T, seen here in Platinum Silver. The 3500T sports a new 3.5L twin-turbocharged V6 making 430hp and 369lb-ft of torque, allowing it to return 28mpg combined. The 3500T’s engine is mated to the same 7-speed VSS automatic and torque-vectoring all-wheel drive.
Finally, the last model in the Traveller lineup, the GTS Edition One, painted in Onyx Black. Sporting a new 5.0L twin-turbocharged V8, sport-tuned exhaust and suspension, the GTS E1 brings the sport back to sport utility vehicle. The 5.0L powerplant makes a whopping 580hp and 515lb-ft torque, with torque arriving at just 4,100rpm. The GTS E1 receives special visual touches, with the Swedish flag graphic being a nod to Voltari’s historic past. Just like the other models, the GTS E1’s powertrain is mated to the 7-speed VSS automatic, although in the R-version, which offers quicker shift times over other variants, and like the other models, it’s also sending power to the road through the same torque-vectoring all-wheel drive system.
One more thing before we go for now…
