VOLKSWAGEN TOUAREG is a mid-size luxury crossover SUV produced by German automaker Volkswagen since 2002 at the Volkswagen Bratislava Plant. It was a joint venture project developed by Volkswagen Group, Audi and Porsche. The goal was to create an off-road vehicle that could handle like a sports car. The team, with over 300 people, was led by Klaus-Gerhard Wolpert and based in Weissach, Germany. The result of the joint project is the Volkswagen Group PL71 platform, shared by the Touareg, the Audi Q7 and the Porsche Cayenne, although there are styling, equipment, and technical differences between those vehicles. The Touareg both seat five, while the Q7's stretched wheelbase accommodates a third row for seven passengers. The Volkswagen Touareg is built at the Volkswagen Bratislava Plant in Bratislava, Slovakia, alongside the Audi Q7 and Porsche Cayenne. The Touareg comes as standard with a four-wheel drive system. It has an automatic progressively locking centre differential (with manual override), and a "low range" setting that can be activated with in-cabin controls. Options to make the vehicles more capable off-road include an available 4-wheel AdaptiveAir Suspension (plus Continuous Damping Control) which can raise the car's ride height on command, and an interior switch allowing the rear differential to be manually locked. Its load level ground clearance is at 6.3 in, Off Road Level is at 9.6 in, and Xtra clearance of 11.8 in.
2016PorscheCaymanGT4
2016 Cayman GT4, typical Porsche GT performance is united with the great agility and cornering dynamics of a proven mid-engine concept. The flat-six engine is equipped with direct fuel injection (DFI), VarioCam Plus and integrated dry-sump lubrication. These are supplemented by a variable intake manifold with switchable resonance valve for a healthy supply of air. From its capacity of 3.8 liters, it delivers an imperious 385 hp (283 kW) at 7,400 rpm. Maximum torque of 309 lb.-ft. (420 Nm) is available in the range from 4,750 to 6,000 rpm. When combined with a low weight-to-power ratio of 4.7 kg/kW (7.7 lbs/hp), this leads to a veritable explosion of power. And a sprint to 60 mph that takes just 4.2 seconds. Top track speed is 183 mph. The new Cayman GT4 gets closer to the tarmac: its body sits 30 mm lower than that of the Cayman. The advantage being a lower center of gravity for especially sporty handling.
