They Don't Make Them Like This Anymore.

Literally.

For Sale: 2004 VW Touareg with Computer Air Suspension, 306hp V8, plus Towing, Navigation, Roof Rack and Luxury Packages. 125k miles, excellent condition, nearly perfect mechanically, many custom extras, two (2) sets of alloy rims and tires.

This car is a beast.

For towing. In snow. Off road. Or as a user-friendly SUV.

And yet, when you get in, your first reaction to the wood and leather interior will be that it's as luxurious as the very best sedans you've been in.

Really nice.

So where's the BEAST? In the suspension. No springs, no shocks … instead four computer-controlled air pistons. Very competent but very costly. They aren't making it anymore. Too expensive. But, oh my, it delivers astounding performance. You can dial in the "Sport" or "Luxury" response. Or if you want to drive through a snow bank or cross a stream, it will go up like a funny truck. Or if you want to load a kayak or skis on top, it will kneel down like a sedan. Unreal to see it happen. On the performance tires, it will outperform a Porsche 911 through a slalom course … (!).

With the computer-controlled HI/LOW/LOCKING differential, it delivers the best off-road numbers available, short of a military vehicle. Approach/Departure 33 degrees. Breakover 27 degrees. Climb gradient 45 degrees. Fording depth 23 inches. This are real off-road credentials. The Touareg can handle the Baha Dessert. Most SUVs are good for a run though the Taco Bell.

Got horses? Or a big boat? Or a dump trailer? It tows 7 716 pounds! Best in class and better than many pickups. It has a Class IV 10000# hitch with 2" receiver. There's a YouTube showing the Touareg pulling a Boeing 747. No fooling.

Got to get through blizzard conditions no matter what? With all-season tires, the Touareg is very, very, very good in snow. With full "snowflake" tires, it feels like it can climb trees. It has FULL TIME four-wheel drive NOT "all-wheel drive". You will get through.

The other goodies: navigation, premium sound, premium Nappa leather, burl wood trim, custom keyless entry/start, custom dash, parking assist, dual climate system, tiptronic transmission, ABS, ESC, memory seats with power lumbar, premium mats/liner, moon roof, and more. The glove box is engineered as an adjustable wine cooler! Luxury that kicks ass ... and gets stuff done.

All season tires good on four (4) factory 18"x8" alloys. Summer performance tires fair on three (3) premium 20"x10" alloys (see pix). One (1) factory space saver spare mounted in vehicle. One (1) full-size spare mounted on matching factory 18" rim.

Includes factory-custom luggage carrier and aero-profile load bars, rated 220#. Longitudinal tracks are imbedded into the roof; the locking cross-members can be positioned fore and aft easily without tools. Load bars accept T-slot or clamping sport accessories. They can be left on and still clear virtually any garage door opening. Or they can be positioned to the rear as an attractive trim spoiler or removed completely for the seasons. Best of all, when you load something on top, the Touareg will drop to the height of a normal sedan on the air positions. Note the wheel well pix showing the range of motion over the tire.

The two pix showing the 20" rims mounted are not current. Dealer serviced, full maintenance record, clean CarFax, freshly serviced, new battery. No known mechanical defects.

For the people who want this special capability, this is a really special car.

Did I mention BEAST?

Volkswagen Group names Paefgen head of classics program

Tue, 04 Oct 2011

You may remember the name Franz-Josef Paefgen. Until recently, the German engineer and executive was head of both Bentley and Bugatti. Before that he was chief executive of Audi, after working for several years at Ford. He technically "retired" earlier this year, but like the cars he helped create, an executive like Paefgen could never really retire. So it should come as little surprise that the Volkswagen Group has named Dr. Paefgen head of its Classic program.
In his new capacity, Paefgen will oversee the historic automobile activities of the entire VW Group, including those of Volkswagen, Seat, Skoda, Audi, Lamborghini, and of course Bentley and Bugatti. It strikes us as a suitable semi-retirement for the man responsible in no small part for the Bugatti Veyron and Bentley Mulsanne, to name just two, and who was decorated in 2006 by the ACO as the "Spirit of Le Mans" for his contribution to endurance racing. Read the official announcement after the break.

Porsche-Piech buy 10% stake in VW's holding company

Tue, 18 Jun 2013

In August, 2009, as the scuttled merger of Porsche and Volkswagen had gone bad and Porsche was backed up against the ropes, Porsche Automobil Holding SE (PAHSE) relinquished a ten-percent stake in itself to Qatar Holdings as well as options it held on 17 percent of VW shares. The sale meant that, for the first time since the founding of the company 61 years before, an entity outside the Porsche and Piech families had a say in the running of PAHSE.
Buying that ten-percent stake back returns full ownership to the two families, the holding company's sole possession being ownership of 50.7 percent of VW's common shares. The price paid wasn't disclosed, but at market rates the purchase would be worth close to $1.25 billion. Qatar intends to hold onto the 17-percent stake it has in Volkswagen.

2015 VW Golf R ready for your pre-order on January 8

Mon, Dec 22 2014

If you want to be the first person on your block with Volkswagen's latest Golf R parked in your garage, you need to clear some time from your schedule on January 8. On that day, VW is opening the pre-order books for the first 500 Stateside examples of the new hot hatch, and they come with some neat accessories, too. Don't worry about specing just the right Golf R because all 500 early models are identical. In addition to the obvious 2.0-liter turbocharged engine with 292 horsepower 280 pound-feet of torque and 4Motion all-wheel drive, the six-speed dual-clutch gearbox is the only option here. Every one of these hot hatches comes in Lapiz Blue Metallic paint with 19-inch wheels covered in summer performance tires. Based around the DCC and Nav trim, each of them also has VW's adaptive damper system, bi-xenon headlights with LED running lights, a Fender audio system, parking sensors and navigation. Beyond just being the first ones to own VW's latest hot hatch in the US, the deal for these 500 folks also includes a Volkswagen R watch, carbon fiber and stainless steel keychain and a certificate. All three items are serialized to match the VIN of the buyer's Golf R. The total price for each one of these 500 Golf R's is $39,090, plus $820 destination and delivery. But potential buyers don't have to come up with all of that on January 8. They just need to visit VW's Golf R site and pay a $500 reservation fee to get in line, which goes toward the purchase of the car. The money is refundable for anyone who backs out, and any additional orders are put on a waiting list in case of any cancelations.
