yup..the touraeag is a twin turbo v10 diesel
335hp but 553lbs torque..it can roast all 4 tires off the line stock.
a few of them made it past customs into US, actually Gossett VW in alpharetta sold 3 before they were to stop being shipped to the states for emission checks..they use a much higher grade of diesel in europe ( pump duse ).our grade of diesel here makes it have emission troubles..doesnt surprise me..they already have chip programs for diesel vws. Se-Romeo neighbour has a diesel vw beetle. it has about 150hp but over 300lbs torque at LOW LOW RPM..
and a few months ago, a modded diesel jetta walked the dog on me off the line a few weeks back.
