>5.0 V10 TDI Toureg
>330bhp, 15mpg
>simple maintenance like an alternator change requires the engine to be taken out
>10+ hours labour just to take the engine in and out
>many reports of the engines blowing up at less than 50k miles
It was meant to be a middle of the market family run about and they put a fucking V10 engine in it with ludicrously expensive maintenance.
>5 liter V10
>middle market family run about
Are you getting paid to act retarded? If you didn't want the V10 you could simply order it with a V6 or V8 petrol or an I5 or V6 diesel.

>V10 in a sorority girl car.
"Guys the sale at the mall ends in 15 min!" -driver
"Hold on. I got this" - touregggggg
Then it breaks down on the highway and she trades it in the next day with 13,000 miles on it for a 12' Denali
ugliest car of the decade
>>16607091
>It was meant to be a middle of the market
No it wasn't. It was, like Audi Q7 V12 TDI, meant for rich people to tow their boats around without compromising luxury. Once you have driven V12 luxury car you start appreciating their smooth delivery and massive reserves of power.

Right up there with the big heavy American SUVs while weighing less and being more luxurious.
>>16607091
all of those american """""""""""muscle cars""""""""""" with 7 liter v8's and 120 bhp xD
>>16607091
>>16607165
These are so fucking stupid to the point that it's actually pretty cool VAG put them into production.

Thats a weird engine setup for the 747
>>16607292
angle of the camera
>>16607308
definitely not the angle
>>16607313
that is completely normal. where else did you expect the engines to be?
>>16607318
yeah, never seen that engine setup on the 747

The engines weren't twin from the beginning, it was actually modified like this to serve as a film prop in Casino Royale after its retirement.

>7,700 lbs tow capacity in Europe
So that's about 3,000 US?
>>16607326
So the Touareg was pulling a light weight film prop with all of the equipment and stuff removed
Also I bet its automatic tranny was beyond fucked after that
good for publicity though
>>16607343
No, lbs are the same globally. I converted it from kg specifically for the fatburgers to understand, and you still manage to fuck it up. It's actually 3500 kg.

out of a 5lt v10?
What the FUCK?!
my 5.7 LS1 does 350rwhp and its from 1997 and has 200k miles on it
What the fuck?
Seriously what the fuck it even gets better MPG as well from 20-30mpg at least
>>16607542
It's a diesel, and the LS is the god engine, obviously it heard everything.
>>16607546
Beats everything*
Fucking retarded autoshitrect.
>>16607542
My 3.2 liter N/A 6 cyl from 1995 has 321bhp and is at 180k miles.
The VW engine is a diesel though
>>16607555
Enjoy your double VANOS.
>>16607555
So as much as a modern motorcycle? Lol
>>16607538
WHY WOULDN'T YOU JUST BUY A REAL FIREBIRD
>>16607355
You forgot to take into account the added weight of the average burger family who will be riding in the vehicle.
>>16607181
The switch from leaded to unleaded gas and the addition of catalytic converters killed HP in burger cars in the 70's.
>>16607091
I frickin love this car because it's so ridiculously stupid.
The engine is just a torque monster that if it was not electronically limited would tear apart the whole car. I mean it's already shredding transmissions on relatively young cars.
But an engine that eats its own crankshaft when let off the leash. That's mad German engineering at its best.
>>16607356
good bait
>>16607755
Yet at the same time foreign manufacturers actually put in some effort to adapt and coped much better. Burger cars didn't die due to regulations, they died due to laziness.

Single vanos. Costs $60 to replace

Nope, double VANOS.
