THE PHAETON. Design | Chassis | Innovation | LWB | Safety | Upholstery & Colours | Equipment | Engines | Technology | Ownership | Service Print | Exit | 1 The Phaeton. In Greek mythology, Phaeton was the son of Helios, the sun god. [. . . ] While engine class is generally defined by cylinder count and configuration, the Phaeton W12 boasts the most compact 12-cylinder power plant in the world and is therefore in a class of its own. The 6. 0 litre capacity generates an exceptional 450 PS, accelerating the Phaeton from 0-62 mph in just 6. 1 seconds, making it one of the most powerful production cars ever made. Electronically capped at a top speed of 155 mph for safety reasons, your driving pleasure will know no limits with this truly awesome unit. DIESEL ENGINE. The V6 TDI DPF engine is Volkswagen's optimum answer to the demands of tomorrow. This technological masterpiece delivers a compelling story not only in terms of power and economy, but also reduces emissions so significantly as to meet the stringent new Euro 5 exhaust regulations. Fitted as standard with a DPF (Diesel Particulate Filter), the system filters out soot quickly and efficiently from exhaust emissions, producing less pollutants in the atmosphere. This six cylinder 233 PS engine spares nothing in terms of power and dynamic performance either, delivering an unprecedented 450 Nm of torque, enabling you to enjoy sheer driving pleasure.

From 1, 000 m above sea level and for every 1, 000 m thereafter 10% of the vehicle/trailer weight (trailer weight + gross vehicle weight) must be deducted. 04 The use of RME and FAME (bio diesel) is not possible. 05 Thanks to the knock control, unleaded petrol (at least 95 RON) can be used instead of unleaded Super plus petrol ­ with a small reduction in torque. 06 Official fuel consumption according to EU Directive 99/94. The consumption calculation according to 1999/100/EC is based on the actual unladen weight of the vehicle.
