SUV aficionados across the world talk about the brilliance of the third-generation Touareg and how the Volkswagen has grown into a full premium offering. Even so, there's one important detail that even the latest Touareg lacks, namely the engine craziness of the first generation.
Keep in mind that the original Touareg could be had with a V8, a W12 and a diesel V10, while the most powerful motor for the newcomer is a V6.

Well, we've come to solve that problem for all those of you who are in the market for a meaty Touareg. Unfortunately, you'll have to settle for a second-generation model in your quest for speed. Then again, when the proposal we have to make comes with 802 horsepower, nothing else matters. Even so, we'll drop the tech story of this insane Vee-Dub.

Perpahs the best part of this super-SUV is the fact that the machine perfectly deserves the sleeper tag. There's absolutely nothing about the look of the car that gives away the fury under its hood.

Then again, with this being a special order that was handled by MTM (Motoren Technik Mayer). And if you're thinking "Audi" right now, you're on the right path.

That's because the engine compartment of this Volkswagen SUV is currently occupied by a 4.0-liter twin-turbo V8, the kind you can find on the RS6. Then again, since we're talking about MTM, the motor has been dialed all the way to the output figure mentioned above. As for the maximum torque, this sits an a planet-rotating 945 Nm.

It seems that the aficionado who ordered this brute is currently seeking different thrills, with the vehicle having shown up for sale on German website mobile - the car is listed by a Volkswagen Group dealer.

And if you think that the €149,000 asking price is on the wild side, there are two things you need to consider. First of all, this Volkswagen was built for Lamborghini money (think: €349,000). Secondly, the thing only has 9,000 km on its odo, while having been born in 2017, so it should be a brilliant proposal.
