Default V10 TDI????

I saw a Torauge(sp) parked at the grocery store today. I actually like it, but about crapped when I saw the badges on the back. Is this something that we can get here or was this possibly just a shipped in vehicle from another country due to a move?

nope, that's right the V10 TDI was available for a very short time in North America BUT simply due to the stupid price tag it never sold very well. In Canada it was starting at $98,000!!

I want one even more now. The one I saw looked even better than that one with dual pipes coming out the back and sat up higher being a 4X4. Thanks for the video.

There in the high 60Ks.. They are sweet. I have a V6 touareg very nice cars. Tons of standard features like a 6 speed auto.. The V-10 is 310 Hp and 553 torque. Not bad for a 5.0 liter..


Heres one..

Here is the Kicker:

0 to 60 in 6.8 Seconds
Standing 1/4 15.23 @ 92.8

That is not far off from the perfromance numbers of a Porsche Cayenne S.

I found a place that sells a Chip for the touareg. They show it as roughly a 60HP chip. That extra 60HP might be enough to edge a Cayenne S.

Well actually it is almost at par these days. We are sitting in the mid 90's right now.
