			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><img src="http://www.vwtuningmag.com/wp-content/uploads/2008/08/aez-alloy-wheels-5.jpg" alt="VW Touareg alloy wheels" title="aez-alloy-wheels-5"  /> King Kong is big, strong and actually good-natured. This also applies to the VW Touareg special model named after the legendary giant ape: with its 3-litre turbocharged diesel engine, the Wolfsburg flagship is the ideal vehicle for laid-back travel. This was also the opinion of the crew around director Peter Jackson ("Lord of the Rings"), who used the Touareg as a company car for the Hollywood remake of the movie classic. <span id="more-301"></span></p>
<p>The "King Kong" is also an eye-catcher: the underride protection in the front gives the vehicle an even more striking appearance than it already has. But the AEZ "model" is even more extravagant. The Audi A6's LEDs, which take over the function of the daytime running light, provide a sporty elegant note. The elegant and masculine Phoenix dark by AEZ tops it all off. With its striking and distinctive star-shaped spokes, the extraordinary light-metal wheel is the perfect choice for the extraordinary Touareg: in massive 20 inches, the Phoenix dark by AEZ appears self-confident and powerful; it emphasizes the huge sides of the SUV. The dark design of the rim harmonises with the black automobile - and gives the "King" among the Touaregs additional presence.</p>
<p>However, the Phoenix dark not only improves the big all-wheel drive VW, but also harmonises with all popular SUV's, regardless of whether from Audi, BMW, Mercedes or Porsche. And not just that: as the first rim manufacturer on the aftermarket, AEZ relies on the "EH2+Hump-Technology". This enables the optimal use of Runflat tyres. - Phoenix dark by AEZ naturally meets the strict guidelines of the German TÜV and is certified accordingly.</p>
<p>Phoenix dark by AEZ – Data &#038; Facts<br />
Dimensions in inches:  8.5×18, 9×20, 10×22<br />
Paintwork:  matt black and face polished<br />
Style:  cast, one-piece<br />
Suitable for Runflat tyres</p>

At least, according to German tuning house Hofele who designed this package for both the pre-facelift and facelifted Touareg. <span id="more-255"></span></p>
<p>They fabricated for the Touareg a new body kit consisting of a new front bumper, new rear apron with trapezoidal tailpipes, sides skirts, roof spoiler and removable under ride protection.</p>
<p><img src="http://www.vwtuningmag.com/wp-content/uploads/2008/06/touareg-hofele.jpg" alt="touareg tuning hofele" title="touareg-hofele"   /></p>
<p>This particular package may not include a power boost but it does come with a new 'Power Dome' hood scoop and the car rides on 22 inch Reverso 22 (295/30 R22) wheels. Either a sport springs or ETS module for the air suspension lowers the car by 40mm.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><img src='http://www.vwtuningmag.com/wp-content/uploads/2008/03/abt_touareg.jpg' alt='ABT Touareg vw' /> The three liter diesel engine by the Volkswagen group is exactly the right engine for the Touareg and the Q7; the torquey engine gives the elegant 2.5-ton SUVs great momentum. Even more so with Power S by ABT Sportsline, as Power S increases the diesel’s performance from serial 225hp/165kW (Touareg) <span id="more-152"></span> and 233hp/171kW (Q7) to impressive 300hp/221kW. This plus in power of more than 30% also affects the torque; instead of serial 500Nm, now 600Nm provide for enormous thrust. ABT AS7 and ABT Touareg 3.0 TDI have enough power reserves at any time, and the 300hp of the diesel perform very well even in the low rpm-range: from 0 to 100km/h in 8.2 seconds (Touareg) and 8.5 seconds (AS7) – these Allgäu SUVs are not only strong athletes but also good sprinters. The top speed is 214km/h (Touareg) and 222km/h (AS7).</p>
<p>In order to keep the heavy and fast vehicles controllable at any time, ABT Touareg and ABT AS7 are equipped with the ABT sports brake system, which provides appropriate brake force thanks to a disc diameter of 380mm and six-piston calipers. The ABT suspension is tuned perfectly to the dynamic character of the elegant SUVs from the Allgäu. For SUVs equipped with air suspension also the innovative ABT Level Control (ALC) is available – comfortable and at the same time sportily tuned. </p>
<p>You can see how much driving pleasure AS7 and Touareg 3.0 TDI offer, even when the cars are standing still: ABT Sportsline has developed elegant complete sets consisting of front spoiler lip, side sills (AS7), fender extensions, rear wing and rear skirt for both heavy weights. Rear wing and rear skirt harmonize perfectly with the ABT-specific 4-pipe exhaust system. As icing on the cake we recommend 20 or 22-inch BR-wheels. With their corresponding spoke pairs, these wheels accentuate the dynamic design of these two extraordinary vehicles. After all, the “S” in SUV stands for “Sport” – and this is particularly true for the<br />
ABT AS7 and ABT Touareg 3.0 TDI.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><img src='http://www.vwtuningmag.com/wp-content/uploads/2007/11/jedesign_vw_touareg_facelift.jpg' alt='JE design Touareg' /> VW tuning specialists JE DESIGN from Germany now offer the facelifted VW Touareg in their “Wide-Body” version. In addition to the distinctive exterior appearance that the tuners enhances through new rims and LED illumination, JE DESIGN customizes the interior as well using every trick in the book. By customer special request, the German specialists turn the Touareg into a singular piece of work!  <span id="more-103"></span></p>
<p>Rich in torque!</p>
<p>The Touareg V10 5.0 TDI experiences an optimisation providing this brawny VW SUV with 259 kW / 352 hp which means a power increase of 29 kW / 39 hp. The maximum torque increases from 750 Nm to 855 Nm. Because of the top speed of 234 km/h most limousine drivers will work up a sweat (standard: 225 km/h). In just 7.4 seconds this giant storms from 0 to 100 km/h (standard: 7.8). For the 3.0 V6 TDI JE DESIGN coaxes out 210 kW/ 285 hp and 550 Nm (standard: 165 kW / 225 hp; 500 Nm). The Touareg sprints then in just 8.9 seconds from 0 to 100 (standard: 9.9 sec) and keeps on accelerating till 210 km/h (an additional 9 km/h compared to stock version). The power enhanced engines naturally comply with emissions regulations and come with TÜV parts certification.</p>
<p>Even more powerful appearance </p>
<p>The sporty JE DESIGN styling package for the “Wide Body” conversion is comprised of several components of highest quality and exact accurate fit, giving the Touareg an even more powerful appearance. The front spoiler for the front bumper features a number of cooling vents that are primarily to protect power upgraded engines from dying of heatstroke. Combined to this is a set of side sills with visual air vents, rear skirt attachment for vehicles with PDC plus a tailgate attachment for the lower tailgate area. The complete body kit also includes special wheel arch extensions providing the ultimate “Wide Body” look. The standard produced headlights JE DESIGN replaces with its own double headlight module including fog lights and high beams which provides the Touareg a pair of more attractive “eyes”. In efforts to achieve a homogeneous look, JE DESIGN finishes the original door mouldings by customer preference in matching vehicle colour. </p>
<p>LED´s for special effects</p>
<p>To make the JE DESIGNed Touareg “Wide Body” an eye-catcher at night, they offer a special illumination lighting system for the vehicle entry. Blue LEDs (5 on each side), completely mounted to the bottom of the side sills illuminate the area underneath the doors and provide an unquestionable special effect and also represent a contribution to safety. In the rear, sixfold LED lighting assures a shining effect. Both lighting systems come with TÜV approval.  </p>
<p>Perfect road holding</p>
<p>Also being a real eye-turner, two oval stainless steel double tailpipes for left and right give an even sportier look in back. An absolute must-have is the electronical lowering module that JE DESIGN offers for lowering vehicles with air suspension. After installation, the gap between body and road surface is reduced by approximately 35 mm. Vehicles with conventional suspension are offered the choice of lowering springs or stainless steel coilover suspension with adjustable compression and rebound options.  </p>
<p><img src='http://www.vwtuningmag.com/wp-content/uploads/2007/11/jedesign_vw_touareg_facelift1.jpg' alt='VW Touareg Widebody' /></p>
<p>22 inch wheels and wider track</p>
<p>JE DESIGN adds on the 10-Star-wheel in the form of a complete wheel set in size 10 x 22“ ET55 in outstanding matt black finish with matt silver front and tires 295/30 R 22 Y.  Logically, the not exactly undersized wheels of the “Wide Body“ Touareg would not come to light without JE DESIGN´s alteration to the track. The German auto tuners widen the front track by 60 mm and the rear track by 80 mm with aluminium spacers. In conjunction with the wider track and the “Wide Body“ kit, JE DESIGN additionally offers a steering lock limiter for the front axle.   </p>
<p>Individualized Interior enhancement  </p>
<p>The Touareg experiences a distinguishable enhancement of the interior through a complete carbon treatment. JE DESIGN covers the door panels, shifting gate, lower portion of centre console as well as the upper instrument screen with a carbon-coating. Next to the classical carbon grey-black colour customers can choose other tints such as blue, orange, silver, brown etc. without additional cost.<br />
Of course JE DESIGN will satisfy customer special requests including for example an addition of a multimedia package that has 7” headrest  monitors, DVD changer complete with remote control and infrared headphones or a variety of gaming consoles as well. What’s more, JE DESIGN customizes the interior with highest quality leather and alcantra suede in a pallet of colour possibilities. For their Touareg, each customer can receive the JE DESIGN sensational modified dream of luxury!    </p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><img src='http://www.vwtuningmag.com/wp-content/uploads/2007/06/je_design_vw_touareg.jpg' alt='JE Design Tuning' /> VW tuning specialist JE DESIGN from Leingarten/Germany presents now a complete styling suite for the new VW Touareg type 7 L (facelifted). The Touareg R 5 has been given a performance boost, which increases the basic power of the 2.5 l TDI engine from 128 kW / 174 bhp to 152 kW / 206 bhp. <span id="more-9"></span></p>
<p>Following this performance enhancement, the maximum torque goes up to 460 Nm. JE DESIGN also supplies a performance enhancement package for the Touareg V 10 5.0 TDI, which gives the brawny VW 259 kW / 352 bhp, equating to an increase of 29 kW / 39 bhp. Following this enhancement, the maximum torque is increased from 750 Nm to 855 Nm. Placed between R 5 and V 10, the 3.0 V6 TDI completes the available engine offering. 165 kW / 225 bhp and 500 Nm are the standard values of this engine. A power plus of 45 kW and a torque increased by 50 Nm propel the Touareg in 8,9 seconds from zero to 100 km/h (standard: 9,9 sec) and enable a top speed of 207 km/h (plus 6 km/h). </p>
<p>The styling suite includes a front spoiler, a set of side sills with an air inlet, which makes the car look lower, and a rear apron attachment. The rear apron attachment is also available for models with Park Distance Control. Moreover, JE DESIGN offers cartridges for double headlights consisting of fog lamps and upper beam headlights for its front spoiler. The self-adhesive roof fin “Shark Attack” rounds off the overall image of the JE DESIGN Touareg.</p>

<p>Additionally JE DESIGN offers their customers LED lights for the entrance area integrated into the side skirts and the rear apron.</p>
<p>Striking to the eye are also the stainless steel twin tailpipes, each with two 84 mm tailpipes on the left and right, which help to create that chunky look. To lower the suspension in vehicles with air suspension, JE DESIGN offers an electronic suspension lowering module, which allows the vehicle to be lowered by approx. 35 mm. For vehicles with conventional suspension, JE DESIGN also supplies a height-adjustable Variant 3 KW coilover suspension from stainless steel with adjustable rebound and pressure damping, which allows the suspension to be lowered by approx. 30 to 75 mm. Alternatively, a set of springs for the original shock absorbers for lowering the suspension by approx. 30 mm.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><img src='http://www.vwtuningmag.com/wp-content/uploads/2007/06/abt_touareg_front.jpg' alt='VW touareg tuning Abt' /> 2002, the Touareg marked Volkswagen’s powerful way into the field of SUVs. “Even for Abt, the car was absolutely new territory,“ explains Hans-Jürgen Abt. Back then, the managing director of Abt Sportsline did in fact have doubts about the market opportunities of the heavy weight: “But the SUV has become a great success, and meanwhile Touareg and Audi Q7 are among our success stories.” <span id="more-7"></span></p>
<p>Of course, one reason for this is the fact that the Allgäu-based tuners particularly stress the “S” in “SUV”. Abt has made the optically clearly improved version of the SUV from Wolfsburg also very sporty: at the moment, three diesel engines are available, and all of them come with a power increase. That is particularly obvious with the popular 3.0 TDI, which, in this version, delivers 270hp (199kW) instead of the serial 225hp (165kW) and 550Nm torque. The segment of elegant SUVs starts with the 2.5 TDI, which thanks to Abt delivers 195hp (serial version: 174hp) or 143kW (serial version: 128kW). </p>
<p>The jewel is once more the Abt Touareg VS10, the ten-cylinder turbo diesel, which gains its enormous power of 360hp (265kW) from a five-litre engine. This engine perfectly harmonizes with the Abt Touareg. The V8, too, with its capacity of 4.2 litres is perfect for the powerful appearance of the SUV made in Kempten: instead of the serial 350hp (257kW), mighty 500hp (368kW) give the Abt VS8-R impressive drive. </p>
<p>The Abt Suspension, which is tailor made for the requirements of this extraordinary vehicle, guarantees that the enormous power potential of the Abt Touareg can be handled while driving. The comfortable air suspension with the innovative Abt Level Control (ALC) is also available for this version. Even in risky situations the Abt brake system bites with a firm grip and brings the car of 2.4 tons to a standstill.</p>
<p><img src='http://www.vwtuningmag.com/wp-content/uploads/2007/06/abt_touareg.jpg' alt='Abt VW touareg' /><br />
<!--adsense#inlinelinkunit--></p>
<p>Again, the Kempten-based tuners have designed an extravagant body kit for the SUV, just as they did for the first Touareg version: a front spoiler lip, side skirts, fender extensions, a rear wing, rear skirts and the 4-pipe exhaust system typical for Abt form a design unit, which makes the car look extremely dynamic from every angle. </p>
<p>The Abt Touareg is far lower and broader than its serial twin, and that suits him perfectly. Even when the car is standing, you know that it feels at home on every terrain and that it will be able to deal with all challenges. Just right: the Abt AR-wheel with 19, 20 or 22 inches. The Abt Touareg is a power pack, an athlete in a tailor made suit; with this car, you are always adequately represented. </p>
