Volkswagen Touareg R50 - alternative Porsche Cayenne Turbo |
04.10.2007 |
 VW Golf R32, VW Passat R36 and now - VW Touareg R50. This new monster SUV will be presented in Australian International Motor Show next week. VW haven't published detailed information about engine and performance but it is said that this particular car will be one the most powerful SUVs on market. Even without R50 there are still plenty of powerful fat cars to chose from - the new 500 hp Porsche Cayenne Turbo for example. I am not one of those who constantly remind everyone how ugly the Cayenne is but I have to say - the Touareg R50 looks gorgeous. And sensible. In the same time.
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. VW press release. |

VW has informed about the engine: "The Touareg R50 is powered by Volkswagen's
5.0 liter V10 TDI diesel engine producing 258 kW / 350 hp (at 3500 rpm) with 850
Nm of torque (available at 2000 rpm). This is a 37 hp increase over the regular
V10 TDI which results in a 6,7 seconds 0 – 100 km/h sprint and a top speed of
235 km/h. Fuel consumption comes to 12,6 liter / 100 km for combined driving
conditions and 9,6 liter per 100 km for highway driving."
