MacDuck 1st Gear March 2, 2009 Share March 2, 2009 Just wondering, what are the specs of a VW Touareg? Was at the traffic light along Clementi rd this afternoon and a blue VW Touareg pulled along side me. First thing that caught my attention was the huge 21" rims clad in Michelin tyres, took a closer look and the blue brake calipers are freaking huge! It covers almost half the circumference of the rotor! Owner noticed me and I gave him a smile and , my intention was to let him know its a nice car thats all. Then came the green light and I witnessed the acceleration of that machine, he was at least 400m ahead of me by that time I reached 70km/h (driving normally). The way the vehicle accelerated was :blink: , freaking fast and silent, I only managed to see a red "50" badge. ↡ Advertisement Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pufferfish1 Clutched March 2, 2009 Share March 2, 2009 (edited) give me the number i wont want to be beside him, cos mostly likely he will get an accident and thus increase the premium Edited March 2, 2009 by Pufferfish1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paddie 3rd Gear March 2, 2009 Share March 2, 2009 touareg not that expensive lah. Diesel tax + annual road tax for the R50 works out to be more than $11K a year... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

It can pull a 747 jumbo jet. Edited March 2, 2009 by Frozebite Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Silver_blade Turbocharged March 2, 2009 Share March 2, 2009 bro when you buy suv, you should not be asking how fast it can go. cos the handling is very bad... Not true....Touareg, Q7, Range Rover Sport, X5, etc...have good handling...drive almost like a sports car. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Throttle2 Supersonic March 2, 2009 Share March 2, 2009 Diesel tax + annual road tax for the R50 works out to be more than $11K a year... although diesel price has gone up a lot, you still can factor in the savings if it were petrol instead. so upfront diesel tax, but savings along the way. thats why i said not that expensive. otherwise i would have said cheap......heh heh touareg is another lifestyle car , you just dont buy it becos you need it. you buy it becos you want it Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Silver_blade Turbocharged March 2, 2009 Share March 2, 2009 Yup. Like what frozebite said...it can pull and 747. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tomsss Neutral Newbie March 2, 2009 Share March 2, 2009 (edited) and the Touareg shares the same platform as the Porsche Cayenne. If Porsche can throw 550 twin turbo horsepower into that, VW does it with 850Nm of pulling power Edited March 2, 2009 by Tomsss Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blueegg Clutched March 2, 2009 Share March 2, 2009 Yup. Like what frozebite said...it can pull and 747. Actually I think quite a few proper 4x4s may be able to tug a 747. Just that noone bothered to film it and sell the car that way. ↡ Advertisement Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
