Volkswagen has recently launched the highly anticipated Touareg R eHybrid model which makes more power than the Golf R
This offshoot of the firm’s SUV nameplate is outfitted with the most potent drive system available among all standard Volkswagen models. At the heart of the Touareg R eHybrid is a meticulously engineered 3,0-litre, turbocharged six-cylinder engine, which works in tandem with an electric motor. This dynamic duo generates an impressive system output of 340 kW/700 N.m which is 105 kW and 300 N.m more than the current road-going Golf R. Efforts to improve it’s “go-faster’ ability affords it the ability to sprint from 0 to 100 km/h in a mere 5.1 seconds and reach a top speed of 250 km/h, the Touareg R eHybrid broadens the Touareg’s appeal and ushers the badge into a new segment.
