2004 Volkswagen Phaeton V8 Sedan 4-door 4.2l on 2040-cars
Corpus Christi, Texas, United States
Beautiful Volkswagen Phaeton for sale. Built alongside the Bentley Flying Spur this car offers ultimate luxury but with the price of a Volkswagen. The car has been excellently maintained and is one of the smoothest rides you can imagine. It has all wheel drive and an excellent V8 which has recently had it's timing belt replaced. Four comfort levels for the suspension allow you choose the firmness of your ride. To make it even more comfortable, seats front and rear are heated, cooled and massaging. The four zone draftless climate control works perfectly. All leather and wood interior rounds out the spacious interior. There are so many features of this car, it is truly an engineering masterpiece. Interior is a 9/10 and exterior is 8/10. Tires are fairly new as well as the brakes. This is a rare and hard to find car. New it went for over $65,000. I will be sad to see her go, but my expanding family requires me to get something with more seats. I have owned the car for 2 years and had the car gone through. I put a lot of money into making sure all the major services were done. Timing belt, water pump, thermostat, brakes, tires, belts plus much more. She is ready to roll. I have only put 13,000 miles on it since I got it. There are some minor chips and scratches you would normally find on a ten year old car. There is one large scratch on the front bumper about 3 inches long. The rest of the exterior is in nice condition. She is garage kept and hand waxed. There is no peeling or bubbling in the paint. Three of the wheels have some scuffs. Exterior is 8/10. Interior is beautiful. There is some very minor wear on the driver seat side bolster and a clip on the plastic under the driver seat is broken. Everything else inside the car is nearly perfect. The vehicle is equipped with navigation, but I do not have the navigation DVD. You should be able to order it from VW, but every phone has a better GPS so I didn't bother. Interior is a strong 9/10. No warning lights on and everything works beautifully. Feel free to contact me with any questions about the car. If you need to ship it, I will work with your shipping company after I have been paid in full. Do not bid if you are out of the country. If I even get the slightest feeling that you are a scammer I will cancel your bid. |

VW spending $10 million on EV infrastructure, calls on Congress for help
Tue, Feb 10 2015It must be the season of big EV infrastructure announcements. In the last few days, we've heard from Bollore in France, PG&E in California and now VW. The German automaker says it will spend a total of $10 million on electric vehicle charging infrastructure by 2016. That includes the previously announced ChargePoint investment VW made with BMW and work the automaker is doing to get chargers for cars like the e-Golf installed as its dealerships. But Jorg Sommer, Volkswagen of America'sl VP of product marketing and strategy, said today in Washington, DC that automakers need help from the federal, state and local governments to turn electric mobility into a thing. Speaking at the 2015 Electric Drive Congress, Sommer said VW would like the Feds to support fast charging networks in urban areas as well as interstate corridors and that governments should "commit to cleaner fleets by purchasing EVs and PHEVs. This should be a US Government priority," he said. He also suggested that the plug-in vehicle multiplier credits under the EPA's greenhouse gas regulations should be extended beyond the 2021 model year. VOLKSWAGEN OF AMERICA TO INVEST $10 MILLION IN ELECTRIC VEHICLE CHARGING INFRASTRUCTURE BY 2016 Feb 10, 2015 Washington, D.C., February 10, 2015 – Jorg Sommer, vice president, product marketing and strategy, Volkswagen of America, today presented Volkswagen's holistic approach to e-mobility surrounding the launch of the zero-tailpipe emissions 2015 e-Golf, including a $10 million commitment to support electric vehicle infrastructure by 2016. During a presentation delivered at the 2015 Electric Drive Congress in Washington D.C., Sommer stated that Volkswagen believes continued legislative support is needed to reach the next level of electric vehicle adoption. "Automakers have effectively delivered electric vehicles that can satisfy the needs of most American drivers," said Sommer. "In addition to the investment we and other companies and industries are making, we would like to see Federal financing support for establishing fast charging networks in urban areas and interstate corridors. We'd like to see more state and federal organizations commit to cleaner fleets by purchasing EVs and PHEVs. This should be a U.S. Government priority, and federal purchasing guidelines should reflect that by giving fleet purchasers the flexibility they need," Sommer said.
Prop-driven VW Beetle hopes to land in Bonneville [w/video]
Thu, 10 Jan 2013Sometimes you meet folks who, when they tell you "Hey, I have an idea," your reflex response is to stop what you're doing and tell yourself, "Get ready...." We imagine Mike Niemans is one of those folks, and the idea in question is putting a tank engine on a Type 1 Volkswagen Beetle. Not just any old tank engine - as if there were such a thing when we're talking about putting them in cars - but a 668-cubic-inch, 220-horsepower radial engine built by Continental in 1941 and procured from an M2 tank.
In the image above Nieman is using the tank clutch hub to get the motor set up, but in one of the images below you can see what really belongs back there is: a two-inch, reverse-pitch prop taken from a wind generator. He says there's enough mojo with the propeller action to get the car rolling down the runway like a jet when he gives it gas - and speaking of gas, the engine's been refitted to run on propane.
After a few safety tweaks Nieman's going to take the matte-black Beetle to Bonneville, "put the prop on, let her go and see what happens!" We can't wait to see the video of that. There are two shakedown videos below to get you ready.
Volkswagen tipped to launch turbocharged Up! with 100 hp
Tue, Jan 6 2015Overseas customers enticed by the compact dimensions of the Volkswagen Up! but turned off by its diminutive 1.0-liter three-cylinder engine may be encouraged by reports that the German automaker is planning a more potent turbo version. Previewed by the GT Up! concept showcased at the 2011 Frankfurt Motor Show (pictured above), the more performance-oriented model is expected to pack the turbo three from the larger Polo, where it produces 100 horsepower channeled through a five-speed manual transmission. That may not seem like much, but it would put the existing 59- and 74-horsepower versions of the German city car to shame. That might not give it enough punch to keep pace with the upcoming Smart Fortwo Brabus (and its Renaultsport Twingo counterpart), tipped to pack as much as 130 hp, but it could stand to out-perform the existing 89-hp turbo models of both. Given that the reports are emanating from Brazil, however, it is possible that the Up! Turbo (or whatever it's ultimately called) would be limited to the South American market, if it's built at all. One thing's for sure, though: it's not likely to make it to North American showrooms anytime soon.
