Correct, in part...the existing V8 is being phased out as it doesn't meet latest Euro spec.yeah...nah. VW won't do it from the factory. That motor is now out of production....(queue the Funeral March for the Touareg R Line).
I waiting (holding my breath, going red in the face) for the 3.0Lt TDI V6. Now...that would wipe the floor of Ford/Mazda/Toyota. That motor with the 8 speed box...phwoar.
Then I'm back in the game (of looking for a Touareg 7L replacement in 2 or 3 years)Correct, in part...the existing V8 is being phased out as it doesn't meet latest Euro spec.
However the V8 diesel will be returning in a smaller capacity 4L with turbo's (compressors) driven electrically, not by exhaust gasses).
This engine is soon to appear in the Audi SQ7, and will find a home in the Porker Cayenne and VW Treg.
