A genuine Westfalia will always be worth more than any aftermarket
copy in comparable condition.

I say make the top out of carbon fiber and kevlar composite and the
interior cabinets out of a lightweight aluminium-composite sandwich as
the 'ultimate' camper.  I've no idea what that would cost, but I can
always dream.
