In that capacity over the options available is the V8 FSI V6 and V12 gasoline engine, providing 246 kW / 335 PS and kW, 331 / 450 PS, respectively.
On the diesel front Volkswagen is offering an extremely frugal and smooth-running V6 TDI. In Europe it is the most frequently selected engine for this car. The turbocharged common rail direct injection engine delivers 176 kW / 240 PS and accelerates the Phaeton V6 (top speed in this case 237 km/h) from 0 to 100 km/h in just 8.6 seconds. This is accompanied by average fuel consumption that has now been reduced still further to just 8.5 litres per 100 km (equating to 224 g/km CO2). Depending on wheelbase, the 2011 model Phaeton is between 5.06 and 5.18 metres long. A completely new front section has been developed for this flagship of the Volkswagen brand.
