Project Description

TORSUS TERRASTORM

THE WORLD’S MOST CAPABLE 4×4 MINIBUS

The all-new TORSUS TERRASTORM is designed and engineered with a maximum 4×4 off-road capability at its core. Based on a Volkswagen Crafter / MAN TGE chassis, the uncompromising TERRASTORM is designed to conquer the challenges of transporting personnel and equipment across the world’s harshest terrain.

Capable of carrying up to 19 occupants and with an impressive 290mm of ground clearance, TERRASTORM is built to get you where you need to go. With a varied range of modifications, the TERRASTORM is there to keep you moving no matter what. It makes the impossible – possible.

03. Design Process

Development

Werkemotion Design Studio created a new design language for the Torsus brand. After the success of the Praetorian offroad, WEREKMOTION and TORSUS started a new project of converting the VW Crafter van into a more capable and variable offroad vehicle. The Torsus Terrastorm was born. We closely collaborated with Torsus engineers to keep the design language recognizable.

Also adding plenty of off-road Accessories (bullbar, side-steps, rear door ladder, spare tire rack, roof rack, lights covers etc.).
