Highway Overlord Test Drive Volkswagen Touareg W12 Ultimate Model
[car home test drive] 6.0 liters! In China, the models with this level of displacement include 0, 760 and 6.0, and the series of 62 and 62 are higher. Originally, the 5.7L model could also compete with the above models in terms of displacement, but it "only" has 8 cylinders, and it was defeated in this indicator symbolizing "status". The 12-cylinder is a shock, and 6.0L is a symbol. After cars dominated the domestic luxury 12-cylinder market for many years, W12 officially appeared as the road overlord (the first 12-cylinder SUV in China).
The Touareg W12, which is positioned luxuriously, is a top-class SUV. Besides undertaking the established sales tasks and opening up the high-end market, the Touareg W12 has played a more important role in improving the product line and the public brand image. As the biggest highlight of this car, the W12 engine can really show its identity and personality-the personality with great power in low profile. And there will be no shortage of market for such models in China. The first batch of 100 models in China have already been booked out. If you submit an order to the public now, the next batch of new cars will enter China in about 5 months because of personalized customization.
I believe you still remember this picture, Volkswagen Touareg dragged a Boeing 747 plane forward 150 meters. Subsequent inspection shows that the Touareg is intact. Although this is only a marketing promotion of Volkswagen, Touareg’s powerful traction ability is really amazing.
The model that completed this feat was V10 TDI, and the image of Touareg as a "tough guy" was established. This time, I have the opportunity to test drive Volkswagen’s top Touareg W12. Although it is not a diesel model that emphasizes torque, the performance of the 12-cylinder is equally impressive.
The introduction of the w12 with 450 HP/600 N m at the beginning is somewhat abrupt, so let’s get to know the new car from the appearance.
In terms of appearance, W12 is not much different from the ordinary Touareg. Exquisite workmanship, U-shaped chrome-plated air intake grille continues the characteristics of the Volkswagen family, and the huge logo is the embodiment of the status of the model. The simple and smooth lines, teardrop-shaped headlights and fog lights embedded under the front fender are as low-key and restrained as other Touareg models, except for four huge 20-inch wheels, 275/40 tires and four exhaust pipes at the tail.
The "I" on the side of the car body and the W12 logo at the rear of the car are the identity symbols of this model. Needless to say, the word "I" means that the Touareg W12 comes from VW Individual. Besides the side of the car body, we also put the same logo on the welcome pedal and the headrest of the front seat. Each Touareg W12 can be customized according to customers’ needs, but the configuration of the first batch of 100 vehicles entering China (except more configurations) has been determined, and the price at the dealer is close to 1.6 million.
The low-key appearance can’t hide the inner surge of the Touareg W12. Let’s enter the power/driving chapter below.
