Practical, comfortable and pulls like a train, the V10 Volkswagen Touareg is best described as a brute in a suit. At its release, the V10 was the most powerful diesel engine built for a production car, which can shift the car from a standstill to 60mph in just under 8 seconds, which is quite astonishing when you consider the car’s bolder-like structure weighs over 2.5 tons.
With its four-wheel drive technology traction is never an issue, wherever you roam you can feel confident the Touareg will conquer, it’ll also tow 3.5 tonnes without hesitation, which makes it an ideal cruiser to transport your weekend racer or classic car around to shows and events.
The Touareg isn’t just savage power, it's exceptionally comfortable too. Its adaptive air suspension can be adjusted to give you different ride heights and levels of damping, it also has an auto mode that will let the Touareg decide what's best for you using intelligent sensors that can detect changing road services and vehicle speeds. This is a vehicle which was developed and built by VW when it was also involved with the Bentley GT and the quality shows.
This 2003-registered Touareg is an honest and eye catching example of the competent car with a few age related areas of wear inside and out. Finished in Raven Blue metallic and Crystal Grey leather upholstery, the car would make an ideal companion for those requiring a capable and comfortable means of transporting themselves and their weekend racer to track days, those in the equestrian industry or indeed someone looking for something practical and fun to use on a day to day basis.
