2008 VW Touareg-2 V10 TDI Twin-Turbo Truck Trend author, David Kennedy, made the following reflections after test-driving one of these rocket-ship / locomotive-beasts…“think about it - 20 years from now when we look back on what is sure to be known as the second muscle car generation (1993-2008), the V-10 VW Touareg (TDI Twin-Turbo) will be one of the most highly sought after vehicles on the collector car market. Its adjustable-height air suspension, low-range equipped transfer case, and selectable rear locker will no doubt have been legislated into extinction and gone the way of dual quad carburetors and mechanical injection. Twenty years from now I'm certain I will remember the V-10's power, and I suspect it will still be the most impressive diesel production vehicle sold in the U.S. What's not to like about a diesel SUV with a twin-turbo V-10 engine and more torque than a 7.3L-powered Ford F-550? Not a whole lot, but I have to ask myself, "Is it twice as good as our $42,000 3.0L diesel Jeep Grand Cherokee?" I'm not sure that it is, but I still want one for my collection.” http://www.trucktrend.com/cool-trucks/0810dp-2008-volkswagen-touareg-v10-tdi/ So here is your once in a lifetime opportunity to own a stock original 2008 Touareg-2 TDI V10 Twin-Turbo in mint condition with only 86,505 miles / 139,216 kms – nicely broken-in for an oil burning brute made to go 500k plus. As an apologetic (no typo) fanatical German automobile enthusiast I can attest to the immaculate condition and exceptional performance of this uniquely designed and engineered "transformer" machine that... Blows away 0-60 a Porsche Cayenne Turbo with its award-winning 5.0L aluminum all-mechanical powerplant. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=U-6Fc5CK1Ashttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eAMvahQPoU Is worthy of RedBull and the Dakar off-road endurance race with famous rally driver Carlos Sainz behind the wheel as a multiple champion. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=G3Yd59pMvxc Out-pulls with relative ease a Chevy's Duramax Heavy-Duty V8 Diesel. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=k62gW3Se5e0 Off-roads like a JEEP with its low/high range locking center-diff and full-time all-wheel drive transfer case.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1Cjavy3FirU Yup, that's right, all the above in the same vehicle, and when you are done with the fun...and want the finer things in life this particularly rare color-combo of Campanella-white (exterior) and Sienna-brown (interior) show-pony is loaded to the max with almost every conceivable safety, power and comfort option. Drives like a Bentley with its height adjustable 4-corner air suspension. Feels like a Mercedes SL with 4-zone climate control, fully adjustable 12-way heated front seats, heated rear seats, heated steering-wheel, and Lear-jet type cockpit and controls. Is as safe as any Volvo with cameras front/rear/side, front and side airbags, bi-Xenon adaptive front headlights, adaptive cruise control and the Intelligent Crash Response System. You will also enjoy the concert like sound from its 600-watt Dynaudio stereo/navigation system. So no probs wowing the red-carpet crowd and the concierge at any 5-star hotel that's for sure. An uber-rare "VW Touareg-2 V10 TDI Twin-Turbo"...professionally tuned to produce a mind-blowing 600 ft. lbs. of torque at 2500 rpm and over 350 HP. However you will be glad to know that I have not driven it off-road than a short drive along a beautiful stretch of the Oregon coast on hard-packed-sand on a breezy spring day (so delightful of a day!). So overbuilt and pricey VW ceased production for the USA in 2008...so for certain the 2008 you are viewing was most definitely one of the last on the boat over to America. Reason for selling...buying a business so I need the cash and the room in my garage. It really sucks we have to part-ways. The only consolation is knowing you will be one super-duper fortunate person as it is truly a one of a kind beast-machine and they will likely never-ever make (or allow) anything similar again! Remember to "think about it"...sure you can go buy a new VW Touareg Executive for 65K-plus, but really, ponder your options for a moment. The rare-classic-brute-beauty that you are viewing has similar same bells and whistles and obviously so-so-so much more. The first owner from Tennessee paid over 79K-USD as a special order (see photos for MSRP window sticker). Doing the math you can buy it from me, the second owner, for approximately 15K less than a new Touareg. Granted new Touareg's are beautiful, but they are no beasts, more like cute-little-bambi's in comparison. So, if you Bambi, they are a dime a dozen, if you want Beauty and the Beast, let's talk. Happy bidding…hope you win! Normal 0 false false false EN-US X-NONE X-NONE
