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?

France may still ban diesel vehicle sales

Sun, Nov 27 2016

Legislators in France are not afraid to bring out the ban hammer when it comes to dirty vehicles. The city of Paris has implemented bans on old clunkers, and the French Prime Minister, Manuel Valls, said in 2014 that diesel cars were a "mistake" and that the government would "progressively undo" the error. Now the national government has said it will not rule out banning sales of new diesel vehicles by Renault and Volkswagen if those companies don't answer more questions about their vehicles' emissions. Environment Minister Segolene Royal said last week that France wants more information about the VW diesel defeat device and Renault's engine software. "We will be asking the consumer fraud investigators and prosecutors to communicate any findings that will enable us to establish whether it's necessary to withdraw sales authorizations," Royal said. Royal has been making waves recently at the COP22 meeting in Marrakesh, Morocco and said that Donald Trump's environmental policies will be " absolutely catastrophic" and weaken the US' standing in the world. If the US doesn't want to lead on climate change efforts, she said, "China can take the place of the United States." She has also been involved in a controversy at home over votes that her staff made to allow higher emissions level from vehicles.

VW announces reworked 6.0 W12 TSI engine

Mon, May 11 2015

Nobody makes more engines with a dozen cylinders than the Volkswagen Group. They're W12s, of course, owing to the novel shape of their cylinder banks. Now the German industrial giant has announced a comprehensively reworked version of that engine at the same Vienna Motor Symposium where it presented its new 2.0-liter turbo four. The new W12 retains the same arrangement and the same 6.0-liter displacement, but updates it all with the latest powertrain tech. In place of Audi's FSI direct injection and Bentley's TMPI multi-point injection, the engine has adopted a new TSI system. It's also got a pair of new twin-scroll turbochargers, APS-coated cylinders, a new cooling system, active engine mounts, cylinder deactivation, and a stop/start system. And – crucially for application in the upcoming Bentayga – it has an oil circuit designed for off-road use. The revised package now produces 600 horsepower and 664 pound-feet of torque. Considerably more than the 567 hp and 516 lb-ft offered in the Bentley Continental GT W12, but less than the GT Speed, which we suspect will get an even more powerful version of this new engine. It's also more powerful than even the top version of Audi and Bentley's 4.0-liter twin-turbo V8, to make the W12 a more compelling option. Of course that's just as far as the Continental GT is concerned. The W12 has also found use in the Continental GTC and Flying Spur, as well as the Volkswagen Phaeton and Audi A8, and could find further applications under the Flying B emblem and elsewhere in the future. VW says that in the right application (say, in the production version of the Bentley EXP 10 Speed 6 concept, for example), the new twelve-pot could deliver 0-62 times of under four seconds and a top speed in excess of 186 miles per hour. Volkswagen at the 36th International Vienna Motor Symposium Dr. Heinz-Jakob Neusser: "The car of the future will continue to fascinate people" - CO2 reduction, electromobility and digitalisation are the greatest challenges facing the automotive industry - The future of the internal combustion engine will be characterised by high rpm diesel and high-performance three-cylinder TSI engines - Laser roughening – innovative coating process in large-scale production - New 6.0 W12 TSI with 447 kW (608 PS) – performance and refinement - New generation of EU6 TDI engines for light-duty vehicles Dr.

VW says it has sold over 100,000 TDI diesels in America this year

Thu, 26 Dec 2013

Volkswagen Group of America has lit oil-burning fireworks to celebrate the sales of more than 100,000 TDI Clean Diesel vehicles in the US between its VW and Audi brands this year. According to VW, that means it is responsible for more than 75 percent of diesel-engined cars and SUVs sold here - perhaps not surprising when the two brands offer a total of 12 diesel models.
What might be surprising is that the number of diesels isn't far off the estimated sales of 90,000 battery electric vehicles and PHEVs, with 15,000 of those accounted for by the Tesla Model S, another 12,000 or so being the Toyota Prius PHEV.
VW's keen to play up the ease of making diesel part of your life, stressing that it doesn't need any change to the refueling infrastructure and that "this is a technology delivering real answers to society's concerns about fuel consumption and greenhouse gas emissions without compromises."
