The dream of every highperformance tuner is access to the best, most durable, precise components; intelligent and adaptable control systems; and progressive, appealing styling. It’s the dream of every highperformance tuner to transform that excellence into the extraordinary, to create exhilarating answers to the question, “What if…?” Volkswagen shares this drive to push the dynamic and aesthetic boundaries of its vehicles. The vast network of engineers and designers within VW’s worldwide reach never need to be urged to challenge conventional wisdom, and this philosophy is reflected not only in the unique character of VW’s production vehicles, it’s also fully displayed in a trio of stunning ultra-high-performance projects built for SEMA 2005 in combination with HPA Motorsports.

The Touareg R GT is nothing less than the pure essence of a highperformance luxury SUV. What was formerly a 2005 model with a V6 engine and 6speed automatic transmission is now a 500horsepower roadcarver that doubles as a luxurious limousine. Like the other R GT models on display at SEMA, the Touareg has an HPAbuilt twinturbocharged V6 under the hood, special chassis enhancements, a KW Variant 3way coilover suspension, and a highperformance braking system supplied by Brembo.

The Touareg’s revised lines give it the look of a wellbred urban cruiser. A Volkswagen Individual body kit, gleaming silver paint, and 10 x 22inch custombuilt, forgedaluminum, monoblock Avus ® wheels mounted with Michelin ultrahighperformance Diamaris tires lend it a commanding visual presence that matches the powertrain’s dominating performance.

Front sport bucket seats, an integrated single roll hoop, and the safety systems required for a weekend at the track are complemented by the luxury of black leather upholstery with gray suede centers, a Bugatti spunaluminum trim kit by Volkswagen Individual, a black Apple iPod module, and rear PSP system.
