Touareg R50
 
Coming to the UK soon will be a new range-topping high-performance Touareg,
the R50.

Powered by an uprated version of the 5.0-litre V10 TDI engine, producing 350
PS and an extra 100 Nm of torque, the R50 accelerates from 0 to 62 mph in
just 6.7 seconds, and has a top speed of 146 mph.
 
To handle the extra performance, the R50 has 4XMOTION four-wheel drive and
a six-speed automatic gearbox, Continuous Damping Control (CDC) with sports
modification which lowers the car by around 20 mm and a set of 21-inch
Omanyt 10-spoke alloy wheels.

The Touareg 'R' design package includes a body-coloured roof spoiler,
restyled body-coloured bumper and oval tailpipe trims, wheelarch extensions
and blue-painted brake callipers as well as a matt chrome radiator grille
and honeycomb-style inserts in the airdams.
 
Inside, the R50 has 'R' logos on the pedals, door sill protectors and Nappa
leather sports seats, as well as heated outer rear seats, a ski sack and a
net partition.

Priced at £61,885 (RRP OTR), only a limited number of Touareg R50s will be
available for sale in the UK.
