now that is one sexy car, anyone know if its based on another model or is it own thing. and also are we gonna get a skoda version??

just been lookin

6.1 0-60 for a car that weighs 2.4 tonne is pretty damn good

mind you that is a 6.0 w12 4 motion :eek:

It is its own platform and jolly nice it is too. Think I'd go for the V10 TDI though

Same as Audi A8, but at around

one in oxford

@2000rpm the 5.0v10 produces 743 newton metres!!!!!!!!!!!!

You also have to be a specailly trained master tech to work on one at a VW garage with not all dealers being able to sell or service them.

Awesome car, as is the A8. We get a few around these parts from VAG HQ.

Dont they fit the same V10 in the Toureg too?

Seen a few in town, but they do look very......staid?

Tad rich coming from a Superb owner but I know what you mean

staid????

silly question coming from a silly little boy but what does it mean daddy?

all i know is it looks good, its more comfortable than my house and faster than my car, can i marry it?

But even you would agree Jon that there is a slight difference between

thank god for t'internet, online dictionary's

must admit i disagree, my opinion is very sleek, smooth and sexy

staid????

Boring and stale

Bengie, in case you online dictionary isn't up to date with Andy's "yoof" speak, look under Superb :lol:

must admit it didn't mention a superb, must e-mail them to update the meaning. and sorry andy, a bit slow there

Phaeton is a stunning car, i went in one at millbrook and he took it round the small winding track and had the back end out on every corner. The sheer weight of the car is irrelevant compared to how the engine makes it move. After about 5 laps of a go-kart circuit (i kid you not!) he took it to the oval and straight onto the 5th lane and hit 155 and cruised around at that. You could have a normal conversation as the road noise was non-existant. The best thing about it all was it was only the 3.2 V6!!!!! The dash had a full computer on it, seats are as comfortable as sofas, and i have never felt so comfortable and safe doing 155mph.

Been in the 5.0 V10 diesel and that thing shifts!!! We (me dad and bro) went on it on a custom build 4x4 and it romped everything there, as soon as we got the car on the flat the driver floored the throttle and it took off and roared like a supercharged engine.

The problem why they don't sell ist the name VW. When it was the new A8 or even S-class, it was a big hit.

Bengie, in case you online dictionary isn't up to date with Andy's "yoof" speak, look under Superb :lol:

Thank you grandad, its a long time since anyone refered to me as "Yoof".

However, back on topic...I would happily swap my Superb and a couple of coins for a nearly new Phaeton...even if the styling isnt quite up the class of the S-Class or even 7 series that its aimed at.
