New Supervan
From this
To this
I can imagine the buzz around the office when you get assigned to the supervan project, only to be told it's going to be a 200bhp diesel....

First came the Supervan I in 1971, based on the running gear of the GT40 Le Mans car, then the Supervan II, and a decade later, you guessed it, the Supervan III. Both sported F1 V8s - the latter giving a colossal 650hp at 13,000rpm

SuperSportVan employs a 200hp 3.2-litre five-cylinder turbodiesel motor
When the words "ford", "super" and "van" are jumbled into one quote....one word comes to mind - INSANE, and this SuperSportVan is NOT insane. Its a chavved up run-of-the-mill transit and using tractor fuel!
If it had the current Shelby Mustang 640bhp V8 in it, and had weight reduction and other distinctive venting and bodydesign and styling, them it could have been Supervan IV

That engine is available in a Transit and if you wanted to, you could quite easily spec up your Transit to be like that. You're unlikely to build your own SuperVan III in your own garage!
A Transit with that 200BHP 5cyl Diesel would be a fair tool.
It's called the "SuperSportVan" and is just a fairly lightly modified version of the ordinary Sport Van. They're making comparisons by talking about the "Proper" SuperVan, but Ford aren't.
