Volkswagen Unveils the New Touareg Executive Edition

The Touareg just got fancier, as Volkswagen has announced a new version with quilted leather seats and a new paint color named after wine.

The new Touareg Executive Edition, as it’s called, is being described as “first class, elegant, [and] exclusive.”

Its new color, called Malbec Red, named after the French red wine grape variety, is exclusively available on the Executive Edition and pairs nicely with the black 20-inch Mallory alloys.

To give you shade from the sun that keeps shining on you, the windows are tinted, and the Touareg Executive Edition comes with smoked, cherry red rear lights.

Inside the Executive Edition comes with black Nappa leather, diamond quilted seats, whose stitching comes in a contrasting “tobacco” color. Unlike the smoldering color, your back will be cool thanks to seat ventilation and heating.

To complete the look, there are numerous wooden decorative inlays, illuminated stainless steel door sill panels, and “Executive Edition” badges.

Prices start at €64,925 ($72,000) for the Touareg with V6 TDI with 200hp.

2018 Lamborghini Aventador S Roadster Review

“Supercars just don’t excite me anymore.” These words, spoken to me over a month ago by another journalist, friend, and (so-called) enthusiast were echoing in my head for far too long, but they’ve finally been drowned out. Drowned out by the wail of a naturally aspirated 6.5-liter V12 engine mounted in the middle of the new Lamborghini Aventador S Roadster. My friend’s point is that back in the good old days, there was a crop of supercars that captured the imagination with amazing style, sounds, performance, and more. Today, it seems like everything is capable of supercar performance, with large luxury sedans outdoing some of the best and most dedicated teams of car nuts, while former pillars of automotive excellence are suddenly pumping out family-friendly SUVs. Beyond that, another league of supercars, dubbed hypercars have cropped up with hybrid gas-electric powertrains that make magical things happen quickly, but at the cost of the acoustic drama, visual flair, and engag...

Project SportWagen: Going Stage 2 with APR

When we last left you, the humble little SportWagen was fresh from the development process with our friends at AWE Tuning, sporting a new downpipe, exhaust and intake, allowing things to breathe a bit easier. The car sounded great, but there was no getting around the fact that our wagon was still quite, well, slow. While we realize that nothing we do to the Golf SportWagen at this point will make it a race car, we still felt compelled to do something . To put it bluntly, we had a fever, and the only cure was more power. Flash forward a few hours, and we found ourselves at Waterfest, staring down APR’s palatial spread and the numerous tuned vehicles surrounding it. Earlier in the year, APR had hinted to us that their 1.8 TSI files would be quite impressive, and based on what they were able to do with the 2.0 TSI found in the new GTI and our time in their Golf R, we knew it’d be worth the wait. So with this in mind, we lined our G...
