FC Bayern Munich travels with MAN

Starting from the 2008/2009 season in the German football league (Bundesliga), an exclusive MAN Lion’s Coach L Supreme will be bringing manager Jürgen Klinsmann and his team relaxed and in safety to their matches. The coach is part of an extensive premium sponsoring package that the MAN Nutzfahrzeuge Group has put together for FC Bayern Munich.

The current Lion’s Coach Supreme model has been available since 2006 and is part of a range for which over 3,000 vehicles have already been built, making it one of the most successful coaches in the history of MAN. With its black metallic paintwork this premium "Supreme" version with closed ceiling and high-value aluminium details in the design is more than a good match for the internationally successful FC Bayern Munich. Its powerful propulsion comes from an efficient 480 hp MAN common-rail engine which, with MAN PURE DIESEL® technology, meets the required emission limits without need for additives.

Neither has safety been neglected. Beside functions such as ABS (anti-lock braking system), which have been a matter of course at MAN for years now, and a reinforced bus body, the new MAN Lion’s Coach Supreme also features ESP (Electronic Stability Program) to prevent overturning and LGS (Lane Guard System), which reliably warns the driver if he is about to stray from his lane. High-quality xenon headlights and cameras at the front and for reversing guarantee a optimal view at all times. And when the FC Bayern players are actually fighting for national and international titles on the pitch, not only the regular driver, Sandra König, but also an electronically controlled alarm system ensure that the team coach itself and everything in it remains where it is.
