303HP and 553ftlbs isn't adequate? :Q

That's an assload of torque...

The V10 TDI engine also adds an extra 400lbs or so over the V8 to the nose of the already heavy Touareg. The V8 is about 5300lbs.

BTW: This is the best VW ever

a double assload.

All it needs is propane injection and nos

Propane injection?

What would be the point in that?

Think of it as NOS for diesels.

I thought it was the microbus

"...to an awesome 634 lb/ft (860Nm) at just 2,000rpm"

It's redline is probably 4,000rpm =) I bet the stroke is so short on that diesel b!tch. 5300 lbs is quite a lot of weight to get moving, but 634 lbs of torque must do the job.

Er?

Diesel and short stroke don't exactly go together. Short stroke doesen't hinder redline, long does.

Really? Why?

Propane contains even less energy than gasoline, I guess I'm failing to see why it would help?

The TDI engines are efficient, but it's the particulate emissions that prevent it from being sold in California.

Any diesel engine that doesn't have a scrubber will have this problem.

It looks like a PT Cruiser (read: fugly).

(it doe shave a nice powerplant though )

And a scrubber would add more weight and cost...sigh.

dude... doe shave?

BTW, i couldnt disagree with your more... Looks sweet!!

The problem is the sulfer content. Low sulfer diesel fuel should be available in 2006. After that happens, the V10 TDI will come to California, along with a bunch of other VW diesel machines (probably Mercedes too).

Yeah, switch my short with long! =) Like the old Toyota I have for sale... 2.4 liter produces 140lb tq @ 2800 rpm but redline i 5900 (long stroke, high compression SOHC) '02 Civic has a redline of 6900 or so and it produces upwards of 100 lbs of torque @ 5000 rpm! =)

Hopefully they will bring more TDIs over, the Bora 150 hp is one sweet car. Bora

Get me a Passat wagon w/ V6 performance and 40+ MPG and I'll be happy

umm... did everyone miss the fact that there's a 300HP Northstar engine under the hood of that thing? Or does this stuff just not impress anyone anmymore?

This is probably the ultimate VW:

W12 Coupe & Roadster

Looks like a blown up golf from the side. Great, another baby SUV.

Personally, I'd say the '68-'69 Bug is the best VW ever -- 1600 dual-port and IRS transaxle -- but that's just me

Have you seen the touareg in person? Small is not something that comes to mind.... Its the huge wheels that make it look small....

 

[StageLeft]

Looks fvcking sweet for an suv!

 

[SagaLore]

I want one!
