I planning to buy a 2006 Touareg or a Phaeton V10 of course I know there is phaeton V12 but that's not in my price range what's your advice?

Both cars are amazing. They are both big cars with big engines, so in reality the only thing you should look at when deciding between the two is what you plan on doing with the car. If you get a lot of snow or ever plan on taking the car off road then I'd go with the Touareg, it is available with AWD so it can take you anywhere without you having to worry about the weather or terrain. The Phaeton is great and could still handle snow, but not as well. The Phaeton is basically a Bentley with a different badge, it is far more luxurious than the Touareg.. Another thing to look at would be replacement parts should you ever need them. Parts for the Phaeton would be hard to come by and therefore more expensive. I'd go with the Touareg simply because of those two reasons. But if you like the more luxurious features that the Phaeton offers then go with that. You can't go wrong either way, both cars are amazing.

They are great cars. But you better have really deep pockets if you want to keep them running. In 2003 while spending some time in Germany we ended up with a new rental Toureg diesel V10. I thought it was a just normal big SUV so I let my wife drive it on the autobahn. I was napping, but when my wife said it was faster than the Mercedes we rented some weeks before, I woke up. I saw that she was going over 200 kmh. So I told her to pull over, so I could drive it. It had a factory stick and I think it was the fastest R50 model. Boy, that was one fast and comfy SUV. Fast forward to 2016 and we're back in the US and we needed to find a good RV tow vehicle for long trips. So the wife says why not get a used Toureg V10 diesel? I could find just a few for sale in the US. I almost bought one, but after asking around, I heard that at around 100K miles, you might need to replace the turbos and/or other parts. But in a Toureg V10, it turns out that the cost of the part is a small fraction of the real cost: Since that V10 is such a huge hunk of aluminum, in order to swap in the new parts, you need to drop the whole engine, transmission, and the front axle. And you need a special hydraulic table to do this work. US VW dealers can't or don't want to do this. The Toureg V10 also has all kinds of other complications, like two independent 12 volt batteries and other Veyron design experiments. So maintaining a V10 Toureg is either incredibly expensive or just not possible, unless you are related to what's left of VW management.

The US market doesn’t accept them because why would you pay over 50 grand for a VW when you could get an Audi or Porsche instead? No one needs the torque of these large engine diesels in America. American roads are appropriate for cars with power not torque

This is not 2004 touareg . Its 2006 or 07

Hehehhehe

Reverse throttle or pushback on a 747 is not very fast

Claudiu Ioncea the plane is fake

Just look at the engines , a 747 doesnt have engines put together when on a real 747 the engines are separate on the wing and if you compare more you will see more evidence that the plane is fake

The plane was real and worked for British Airways, and in the film "007-Casino Royale" it played the experimental plane. That's why the engines look so weird.

@@Valaki415 Boeing 747 G-BDXJ, "City of Birmingham," is absolutely a real 747. It flew for British Airways for 22 years before selling it to European Aviation Air Charter for holiday and ad-hoc flights. They used it for a year and then sold it to Air Atlanta Europe, who used it for a year of charter flights. Air Atlanta Europe then ceased 747 operations and retired it. Last flight: 25 may 2005, from London Gatwick to Dunsfold Aerodrome, Surrey, England. Aces High Limited bought it for use as a film prop. The "engines," and "drop tanks," seen on the wings are hollow plywood mock-ups put in place for the james bond movie, Casino Royale. The removal of the engines and other components brought the weight down significantly, but it is still, in fact, a used and abused 747-200. It has also been featured in the background of Top Gear, and in the forefront when being pulled By a JCB tractor by James May.

LOYal keyboardcoolkid-co-leader that is true

You mean Antonov AN225, not antove.

I know this comment is a year old, but I got this video in my recommended and need to explain this: This 747 was not a standard one, it was modified heavily to remove about about 35 metric tons. Since there is so many 747’s in the air (with some being retired today), a 747 can be easily ordered and modified for movies and such. The Antonov AN225 is a plane that requires an insane amount of force, greater than the one that the AN225 is making to pull it. Even then, there is only 1 AN225 in the air today, with another being half-built, than scrapped. Also, the Antonov weighs much more than a Boeing 747, due to sextuple engines, multiple landing gear wheels, a large fuselage, etc,. TL:DR It would be really hard and pretty insane to do, with many factors. Maybe in the future.

From wikipedia: After retirement, it was modified to be used as a prop in the James Bond movie Casino Royale[2] and changed registration to N88892 (a fictional Hollywood registration, used also on a Boeing 727 in the movie Hero).[3] In the movie, it appears as the "Skyfleet S570" a fictional prototype airplane which terrorists attempt to destroy. Among the modifications were the fitting of twin mock-up "B-52 style" engines on each of the inner engine pylons, with the outer ones instead holding mock-up external fuel tanks.

*boeing 747

@@zEternus oh you may call me retarded but i think the boeing is a plane too!

I was wondering about this. This is the only time I've seen this engine configuration on a 747. 155 tons is nothing to scoff at, but considering the size of the aircraft, it's amazing. Question, though - why would this version be much lighter? Same number of engines, seems like the only difference would be the extra pylons for the nacelle placement. Shouldn't be much heavier, right? Weight distribution might be different, but I wouldn't imagine that much else would change?

To be fair (albeit very late here & you probably know by know), this was the 747-200 modified for Casino Royale. Very weird plame IMO

LCdrDerrick Jeremy doesn’t know how to drive a tractor either. I’d like to give it a go in my own tractor

Because he put it in low range.

guguigugu that is completely inaccurate. The torque is not fighting the friction alone. It is also having to contend with inertia. Friction adds to the problem and reducing the coefficient of friction to zero would help quite a bit but you are still having to get 155 tonnes to start moving. Anyone that could start a 747 moving with one arm would have superhuman strength, friction or no friction.

Without friction you'd just need enough time. Then you could pull it with a single hair

@@NatalieZorah Did they seriously have to choose the ugliest 747 with its engines arranged in a weird way? They should have at least picked out the newer 747-8 or the 400!

To be fair though, most of those tugs actually have 2 engines and yea, they have massive torque because they sacrifice high speed. They probably have a top speed of 40-50 km/h or something.

@@manu144x The ones I saw in production only had a single engine and no they don't do 40-50km/h more like 20km/h. Except for the special one they built for a James Bond film, but then that one would not pull a 747

It was originally a 747-200 but it was then modified for the James Bond casino royale movie. Look up G-BDXJ

+Blake Wilson Is she airworthy with these engine pods?

+Michael Flatman Wikipedia says the engines and fuel tanks (missiles) are mock-ups. No reason it couldn't work that way. 747s are often used to test new jet engines because they fly very well on 3 engines and the new engine can replace one of the 2 inner normal engines.

It is a concept airplane and used to be a 200 series but now the are using it to test out new engines btw the supposed "engines" had no engine inside it was just the shell and also the plane was completely empty it was just the shell. A normal 747 is 180 tonnes not 155 all of this information is coming from a 747 pilots son and I was informed of this information by my father

it's a movie prop.

Tipical american

Boris Racer Typical, not "tipical". Typical American pickup truck can do this.

No an F-150 can't. The thing that Germans do when they make a diesel, they add loads of torque. The High torque count is what is pulling the plan.

innFahr Two I facepalmed. It's not "The Germans" who add "loads of torrque", it's the principle of Diesel engines, to have amazing torque. You can check any diesel engine, no matter if German, American, Japanese, French or even Chinese, they will have a good torque figure by default. You're the typical "German engineering is best" guy who doesn't actually know much about cars. This hasn't got to do with torque as much as it has to do with appropriate gearing.

Armin K Should I face palm as well? No I can never do something so childish as that. Armin sir, you have jumped the gun. Yes, the principle of diesel is that it does have more torque than a petrol engine. However if you were to closely examine the foot pound ratings, you will see that comparatively, the Germans tend to have higher ratings, not only in diesel engines put in petrol engines as well. Moreover Mr. Armin K, I am not even German.

Wot
