I've only seen the bizarre 'skulls' advert, has anyone seen any details of this engine?

New VW V10 - J.B.
4921cc V10 diesel; Ali block, twin turbo, Pump Duse injection (like the Golf diesels, separate high pressure pumps instead of common rail) 310bhp@3750 rpm, 553lb.ft (750nm) of torque.(blimey!) @2000rpm. 18.5 :1 compression ratio, lives in the VW Touareg and soon, if not already, in the Phaeton. However dont get too exited unless you have 50grand plus to spare.
P.S. if you do can I have a go.

Blimey indeed! That could almost tempt me to buy a diesel (and I don't say that very often) but 50k IS rather a lot...

Americans seem to have more information! See www.vwvortex.com/, or forums.tdiclub.com/postlist.php?Cat=&Board=UBB14. That should keep you going for a while!

JB,

If you look at the link to www.vwvortex.com you will find that our friends in the states will get the VW Tuareg for about $51000 or £32000. AGAIN we get ripped off.

Still a bit academic Bill, I'm afraid, but thanks for the info!
