On the outside of the new Touareg, an aero body kit has been created and fitted. At the front, it includes a front apron with integrated LEDs on both corners. The changes to the grille and hood make the SUV almost unrecognizable, while also providing a muscular, sporty look. Both sets of wheelarches have been extended and match the bigger side skirts. Speaking of the arches, they have been filled to the brim with massive multi-spoke alloys that can be specified in sizes between 20 and 21 inches.
Customers can also order an electric lowering module, which reduces the ride height by 40mm when parked or traveling at speeds of under 80 km/h, or 50 mph. At the rear, a massive diffuser has been fitted and the bumper houses a choice of two kinds of quad exhaust - one using round and the other oval end pipes.
The interior is just as extensively modified, with two-tone black and white leather upholstery making its presence felt on the seats, door panels and arm rests, plus aluminum trim accents.
Under the radical bonnet of the Royal GT 470 sits VW’s diesel V6 engine, that has been extensively modified using a performance kit which lifts output from 240HP and 500Nm to 275HP and 580Nm of peak torque. Thanks to the boost in power, the Touareg can now accelerate from 0 to 100km/h (62 mph) in 6.9 seconds and reaches a top speed of 229 km/h (142 mph).
