Date posted: 03-08-2006

WOLFSBURG, Germany — Volkswagen is introducing a Touareg Exclusive Edition model that will be limited to 999 vehicles worldwide to celebrate the sale of 250,000 of the SUVs in the past three years.

In a statement, the company said the Exclusive Edition can be ordered worldwide. Pricing has not yet been announced. The model has modified bumpers, wider door sills, an exhaust system with two chrome-plated tailpipes, a roof spoiler, and silver roof railings. Each model comes with a certificate of authenticity and a serial number imprinted in the aluminum door sill.

VW said it will offer five engine choices, ranging from an entry-level five-cylinder TDI that makes 174 horsepower to a 310-hp V8. The gas engine models are equipped with a six-speed automatic transmission.

What this means to you: If you were disappointed that you couldn't get a Touareg Kong edition in the U.S., this may be your chance to set your Touareg apart from your neighbor's.
