This Volkswagen Touareg R50 is a hugely capable 4x4, in an attractive factory colour scheme. It is powered by a twin-turbocharged diesel 5.0-litre V10, producing up to 257kW and 850Nm of torque, with 4Motion all-wheel drive and a six-speed automatic gearbox featuring high and low-range settings. The odometer shows 73,230 km. The Touareg R50 was the third Volkswagen after the Golf and Passat to be given the ‘R’ treatment, with its global launch at the 2007 Australian International Motor Show. The ‘R50’ name derives from the 5.0-litre engine displacement. Standard features on the R50 include 21-inch ‘Omanyt’ wheels and sport-tuned air suspension with adjustable dampers. This example is finished in Biscay Blue, with matching brake callipers and a black leather-trimmed interior with ‘R50’ lettering debossed on the head restraints, and turned aluminium trim inlays on the dashboard and centre console. It is equipped with rear privacy glass, a rear tow bar, a multifunction steering wheel, cruise control, switchable Electronic Stability Programme (ESP), front and rear parking sensors with reversing camera, electrically adjustable front seats with three-way memory, heated front and rear seats, four-zone climate control, and an Alpine head unit. Accompanying the vehicle will be its handbooks and associated documents, and a record of the car’s service history. Please refer to the photo gallery to assess the exterior and interior condition.

This Volkswagen Touareg R50 is a potent yet refined SUV, which boasts impressive power and torque output, as well as model-specific upgrades to the bodywork and cabin.
