Volkswagen Touareg R50 takes on Porsche's Cayenne


PRESS RELEASE
In another world premiere for the Australian International Motor Show, Volkswagen has announced it will unveil its new Touareg R50 in Sydney next week (11 October). Developed by a team of specialists at Volkswagen Individual GmbH, the Touareg R50 is one of the most powerful SUVs in the world. While Volkswagen has yet to announce detailed specifications, it promises the R50 boasts "generous" increases on the 230kW of power and 750Nm of torque produced by the current V10 TDi model on which it is based. Bigger wheels and tyres and tweaked suspension complete the high-performance package. Volkswagen Individual GmbH has also designed new exterior and interior features to reflect the R philosophy.

The R50 is the third model to appear under Volkswagen's sporty R label, following in the footsteps of the Golf R32 and the new Passat R36 - which was launched last month at the Frankfurt motor show. All three models have 4MOTION all-wheel drive to guarantee optimal traction.

This is by far THE SUV. Even before this power upgrade you were able to tow a Boeing, what's the next test?

- 350HP
- 850 Nm torque
- 6,7s from 0-100 km/h
- 235 km/h topspeed (146 mph)
- Special 21" wheels

€ 88K in Germany --> equal to Audi S6... You do the match for the USD, if it even goes overseas.
