In 2006, Volkswagen built a Touareg equipped with a V10 TDI engine which caused quite a stir, when it towed a 155 tonne Boeing 747 – proving that it has one of the most powerful diesel engines in automobile history. With the new Touareg R50, it has been possible to considerably increase the output of this state-of-the-art engine in a production vehicle. The result: 350 PS, 850 Nm of torque, 0-62 mph in just 6.7 seconds and a top speed of 146 mph (where the law permits). To ensure that this enormous engine power can be fully transferred to the road, not only is permanent 4XMOTION four wheel drive fitted as standard, but the driving dynamics package also includes adaptive roll compensation, ensuring precision steering of the vehicle on any terrain. But the new Touareg R50 doesn’t just accommodate driving conditions, it also adapts itself to your individual driving style. The Dynamic Shift Program (DSP) recognises the driver’s personal driving style and automatically adapts gear changes accordingly.
Furthermore, as if the
uncompromising dynamics of the new Touareg R50 weren’t enough, its looks will surely get your heart thumping. The sports polished stainless steel twin exhaust tailpipes give a hint of the

power within the new Touareg R50, while the extended body-coloured roof spoiler rounds off the car’s distinctive rear. From the spectacular 21 inch ‘Omanyt’ alloy wheels with blue brake calipers to the R50 styling pack with body-coloured bumpers with central chrome strip, honeycomb style front spoiler inserts and wheel arch extensions, every single design element radiates energy. All this makes one thing certain, it will make heads turn.
Inside, it has aluminium-look pedals with ‘R’ logo,
four-spoke multifunction leather steering wheel and aluminium-look ‘Engine spin’ decor. The unmistakable R50 logo is integrated into the stainless steel door sill protectors and is embossed in the head restraints of the ‘Nappa’ leather front sports seats. When it comes to comfort, the vehicle makes you think more of a luxurious limousine.
