Volkswagen Phaeton 2011 at Qatar Motor Show 2011
Volkswagen Phaeton is a new flagship luxury sedan, built alongside its platform-mate, the Bentley Continental GT. This VW Phaeton is a 6.0-litre W12 mode with an automatic tiptronic transmission and all impressively powerful. Only the long wheelbase body style is sold in Qatar. The Phaeton includes as standard equipment such things as a navigation system, all-wheel drive, air suspension, draft-free four-zone automatic climate controls with vents hidden behind wood doors, 12-way front power seats and a long list of safety and driver-assist technologies. Standard safety features includes ABS brakes, anti-slip regulation, electronic differential lock, engine braking control, electronic brake force distribution and electronic stabilization technology, along with front, side and curtain airbags, and a tyre pressure monitor.

Its awesome. Cannot wait for VW to bring it back to the USA/North America. I want it to continue to have its conservative looks. If I want blinged out, I can always get a BMW/Mercedes/Hyndai, etc. It looks as much like a Passat, as an A8 looks like an A6, and an 750 looks like a 535, etc. Its a corporate thing. I love my '04 V8 Nocturne Aubergine Phaeton, alas, VW has discontinued that color.

@@serbianwolfgaming9623 It was pure egomania for the head of VW at the time (grandson of Ferdinand Porsche) to have it built. However, it was easier for VW to afford it, than Bentley. Also, the Touareg was co-developed with Porsche, and that was before VW owned Porsche. I could have kept mine forever, but I got spoiled by the modern electronics, like blind-side warning, adaptive cruise control, DVD map navigation, etc. MY current large sedan, I bought new to replace the Phaeton is a '17 Volvo S90. It has the electronic features that my Phaeton needed, and some that my Phaeton already had (4-zone climate control, for example.) I will always cherish the time I spent with my Phaeton.
This car just oozes subtle luxury and class
i have 2004 phaeton its great car

did you?
you are so right
It's a LOT more than that (especially with a W12).
hom much does this car cost ? in euros. Its just so beautiful , you can really feel the luxury inside.
@ironintel vw always keeps its conservative look, I quite like it, if you like something more agressive looking get an audi a8
it starts at 70000 euros and can reach about 200000 euros (4.2 liter v8 full extras)
The whole sense of this car has been misunderstood. It has been build for giving you the experience of uncompromissely luxury. It has very simple lines on the exterior but it has sophisticated technologies in the interior, I mean comon have you ever seen a car the automatically closes the woodpanels to hide the vents ? exept from the Jaguar Xf which came out 6 years after the presentation of the phaeton !
My dad has the same model!
@MegaRichie10 ya i love clarkson but i dont think the germans lie
YEs but they also want to reduce the size of the car so that it fits to an other class. The car will be positioned in the class of the audi a7 and mercedes cls. So it will probably be a 4door-coupe.
@Xbox360Rager Trust me, the Audi A8 is a completely different car.
It probably didn't do so well, just because it's volkswagen branded. If it was audi or bentley branded I bet it would do well... but people forget that VW owns audi and bentley, to name a few, so I think it's time phaeton got some respect, as it is more than capable against any rivals on this class, be it continetal or A8s...
we dont even import these to norway : /
That's a Phaeton V6 not a W12
although still nice....interior could use an update. looks too much like the model its replacing.
It looks like the new passat.
Just because it's on the same platform doesn't mean it's the same car. It's a really nice car, but your logic is flawed. The A8 is built on the same platform too, so even by your skewed logic your comment doesn't make any sense.
It may be better than the a8 and 760 but it's not better than the s600
my mom has this car
oh, come on! get a merc!
Its like £47,000
Oh someday i buy it (l) (yn)
While it might have everything it still looks tacky inside.
What does that mean? Totally incoherent sentence.
Yea well it's still an Audi A8
Its only a f####Volkswagen
