2010 CoverEFX Volkswagen Touareg W12 Sport Edition breaks cover

The complete vehicle lamination with CFC film in “gun-metal mat/black gloss” colour emphasizes the sportish appearance and protects the original lacquer coating. All the other hang-on parts, like air inlets, front grille and mirrors, as well as chrome molding, are also lacquered in black – and glazed tail lights finalize the general impression.

The room climate is optimized – and the „anthracite-style” glass tinting on all windows of the vehicle is a perfect match to this. Sunscreening film contributes to the general sense of well-being, and the living is just better in a room with comfortably adjusted temperature.

If we look under the motor hood, we will see that Touareg is not just the driver’s limousine. This Touareg can be proud of its drive gear: the W12 edition by CoverEFX, which is, by the way, limited to 500 exemplars, belongs to the most powerful motors offered by VW. With its software optimization system, which includes removal of the speed limiter, a sports air filter and a high-grade steel Cargraphic exhaust silencer, CoverEFX squeezes the impressive 500 hp out of the high-powered Touareg.

Too bad that they are so unreliable.Aside from that it is one of the best cross overs.

Unreliable?! Maybe expensive to properly maintain over the entire life of the vehicle, but I'd say a lot of current owners are pretty confident about it.

And I don't think the Touareg/Cayenne are crossover SUVs either. I think their platform was purpose-built for the models it's used for.

Compare it off road to the Ford Rapture or the Dodge power wagon, I just couldn't see the VW pushing a foot or two of snow off road 100km off the beaten path with a moose in the back, is the VW a nice vehicle? Yes of course it is, but a hard core off roader, no, although impressive to have 3 selectable lockers, the tires are the weak link off road, they need more sidewall to be taken seriously, maybe like the Raptors 35 in tires on 17 in rims, now that is a serious off road tire, the VW's tires are a street tires.

It tows a 747 and still lives to tell the tale.
