2004 Paris Auto Show: Volkswagen Touareg W12 Sport Limited Edition
Volkswagen presented the W12 Touareg at Paris.
-450hp and 600Nm of torque
-5.9seconds from 0 to 100km/h
-limited VMax of 250km/h
I'm not sure if this will hit the shores of the USA... I doubt it will.

VW expects that the biggest market is the US, and people in Europe would just go for the V10 TDi ..., that one is perhaps on paper slower, but I believe a much more "complete' car...

It's a sharp SUV for sure. I have a V10 TDI and the powertrain is world class. However, the vehicle is piece of pony loaf!!!! Mine's for sale. I've had it 5 months and I've had so many problems with it it's ridiculous. On the Clubtouareg site, there are people talking about class action lawsuits, invoking lemon laws, a TSB list a mile long, and a forum for "Bugs/Problems". Just ordered a new LX470. I know a new one is out in 2006, but I love the styling and the features of the current model. Would love to have the V10 diesel in my new LX!!! that would be a good mix and match!!! I think the new Audi Pike's Peak with the V10 would be a good car. They seem to get build qualtiy and refinement better than VW for some reason and get that wonderful powertrain.

Come on is right ... who cares how quickly it runs? Nobody would be buying this for the quarter ... they'd buy them for the cool quad exhaust, body treatment, and exclusivity.
