Rapido marks 65 years with anniversary series and refreshed 8096 dF
Original source: DIE WELT

In Brief

Rapido unveiled new models for its 65th anniversary: seven special editions, revamped integrated motorhomes, and the V62 camper. The best-selling 8096 dF also gets a redesign for its 10th birthday.

French motorhome manufacturer Rapido has presented a range of new models to mark its 65th anniversary. The programme includes an anniversary series of seven models, fully revamped integrated motorhomes on the Fiat Ducato chassis, a new partially integrated C66 Optimum Line, and an unusual V62 camper with a longitudinally placed bed and a bathroom. Prices for the anniversary models start at 69,400 euros for the camper and go up to 90,400 euros for the fully integrated model.

In addition, Rapido has updated the design of the 8096 dF motorhome for its 10th anniversary. The 7.49-metre model features a new front section with a larger windscreen, revised interior trim, and retains the central king-size bed measuring 160x196 cm. The base price starts at 97,460 euros, but with the recommended options package it exceeds 100,000 euros.
