VW Touareg: W12 Sport Edition available from now

VW is offering now an exclusive Sport Edition of the VW Touareg W12 which is combining sports and comfort.
The VW Touareg W12 Sport Edition has 450 bhp and is up to 250 km/h fast. It comes with 20 inch alloy rims, individual sports seat with nappa leather and an aluminium-style interior.
The VW Touareg W12 Sport Edition can be yours for 96.300 Euro and is ready for order from now.

From Jalopnik:

Excuse me, is this the express bus? Volkswagen, perhaps inspired by the crop of tuner Touaregs hitting the autobahn lately, just launched the 450hp, W12 version of its Touareg SUV it had announced earlier this year. The Touareg Special Edition sports the same 6.0-liter 12-zylinder mill as the VW Phaeton, but tweaked to produce an additional 30hp, tying it with the Porsche Cayenne turbo as the most powerful stock SUV, and 443 ft-lbs. of torque. The Tiptronic-enabled SUV rides on 20” rims, and zero to 62 mph takes 5.9 seconds. (Top speed is, of course, nanny-blocked at 155 mph.) It’s available now in Germany for the equivalent of around $114,000.
