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
>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.
>7,700 lbs tow capacity in Europe
Right up there with the big heavy American SUVs while weighing less and being more luxurious.
all of those american """""""""""muscle cars""""""""""" with 7 liter v8's and 120 bhp xD
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
angle of the camera
definitely not the angle
that is completely normal. where else did you expect the engines to be?
plebs
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.
>3 seconds in Google
>7,700 lbs tow capacity in Europe
So that's about 3,000 US?
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
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.

I love merging into these idiots in my F250.

bhp, 15mpg
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
It's a diesel, and the LS is the god engine, obviously it heard everything.
Beats everything*
Fucking retarded autoshitrect.
My 3.2 liter N/A 6 cyl from 1995 has 321bhp and is at 180k miles.
The VW engine is a diesel though
Enjoy your double VANOS.
So as much as a modern motorcycle? Lol
WHY WOULDN'T YOU JUST BUY A REAL FIREBIRD
You forgot to take into account the added weight of the average burger family who will be riding in the vehicle.
The switch from leaded to unleaded gas and the addition of catalytic converters killed HP in burger cars in the 70's.
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.
good bait
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.

One of the first NA engines to beat 100hp/l
Single vanos. Costs $60 to replace
Nope, double VANOS.
