(from Volkswagen Press Release) Key aspects: Volkswagen presents world exclusive Touareg in Qatar
Touareg Gold Edition: 24-carat gold makes this SUV one-of-a-kind
Wolfsburg / Doha, 26 January 2011 - At the first Qatar Motor Show (26 - 29 January), Volkswagen is presenting two exclusive SUV concept cars for the first time. The common denominator of these all-wheel drive vehicles: No compromises! Show car number 1 is a slightly tamer version of the Touareg 3 that started in the Dakar Rally at the beginning of January; this 228 kW / 310 PS Volkswagen could very well be the world’s most talented street-legal SUV. Show car number 2 is the Touareg Gold Edition - many of its parts have been upgraded with 24-carat gold; this 265 kW Volkswagen (360 PS) is debuting as one of the highest quality SUVs ever. The cost of these concept carsogon; Priceless. Yet...
Touareg Gold Edition
The Touareg Gold Edition
would certainly be able to handle a journey around the world – but
bear in mind, this car should only be parked where there is good
surveillance. That is because – living up its name - certain areas
of this SUV are upgraded with 24-carat gold. On the outside, they
include the custom designed 22-inch wheels, roof rails, protective
guard strips and window frames, mirror caps and parts of the air
intake frame, "Touareg V8" signature and boot sill trim. Like the
Race Touareg 3 Qatar, this SUV is also painted in "Magic Morning"
body colour.
Inside, 24-carat gold also adorns many of the car’s accents and
switches, making the entire car unique. The interior design itself
has a pleasant, bright appearance in the "Luna" trim colour. The
Alcantara roofliner shows this colour as does the Nappa leather of
the seats, which is decorated with ornamental stitch detailing.
On the other hand, the dashboard is trimmed in a natural brown
leather; contrasting seams in "Magnolia" colour perfect the colour
scheme. Natural brown with leather inserts in "Luna" adorn the floor
mats. Automotive craftsmanship at its finest is reflected in the
Walnut Burr accents with genuine gold marquetry – also crafted into
an ornamental pattern. This is in keeping with the general image of
the Touareg, which – in the "normal" production version – is one of
the most sophisticated SUVs in the world.
