Why it matters
The Touareg W12 Sport is the most powerful and fastest road version of the first-generation Touareg, limited to 500 units. It put a six-litre twelve-cylinder engine into a luxury off-roader and was finished by Volkswagen Individual.
How rare is it?
Six separate kinds of rarity – never combined into one number.
Each kind of rarity is rated separately and never combined.
02Production & history
Production
Every figure says what it counts.
| What is counted | Figure | Basis | Status |
|---|---|---|---|
| Factory package productionunits (limited edition) | 5001,2 | Factory production | Factory reported |
Independent counts (e.g. engine and colour) are never combined into a calculated figure. Surviving examples are never presented as original production.
History
Volkswagen presents the W12 Sport as a superlative within the Touareg range, with the same W12 engine also used in the more comfort-oriented Touareg W12 Executive. Its exterior was refined by Volkswagen Individual with sporty aprons, 20-inch aluminium wheels and a four-pipe exhaust. The interior has exclusive trim, sports seats and aluminium decorative accents.
