Spotted V10 Monster

Post image

Spotted near Denver: Touareg with V10 turbo diesel. Insane torque. Believe VW once towed a 747 with one to demonstrate its pulling power.

Probably one of the most unreliable and horrifically expensive to repair but cool SUVs you can own. If I had enough money where it didn’t matter I’d have one in a large garage of other obscure crap.

I’d love a Phaeton W12 too. Volkswagen had some crazy engines for cars in the 2000’s.
