Volkswagen Phaeton 2011

Volkswagen Phaeton flopped in the United States, arrived in the country in 2003 and resigned in 2006. Elsewhere Phaeton enough to get the update for 2011, although very small. New front and rear fascias reflect the VW new, slimmer design philosophy. Where the first bubble-inflated bubble, now bumpers sucked tight against ribs imaginary, although the basic design and proportions of the two ends remain almost identical to the previous. In front, the grille slightly widened, although the lamp to maintain their basic shape. Now, the stomach is only folded in a little more strict with them.

Technology gets equal billing on the map update, literally highlighted on the outside of the car with LED lights front and rear. Taillight consists entirely of LEDs, while the front remains bi-xenon lights, with LED serves as fog lamps and cornering lamps. Lights did not get a little adaptive technology, however, with VW Dynamic Light Helps automatically adjust the beam shape in response to other cars on the road. It can "see" and direct the traffic lights so VeeDub to maintain visibility without blinding the driver-VW VW says "dazzling," but we thought objectively dazzling other motorists always drive the company car driver.

But most new technology is found in the Phaeton, where sleek new Volkswagen navigation system is rooted, and optional 1000DynAudio-watt system promises ear-splitting volume. Volkswagen's other big news concerns the way the camera-new punctuation. Like similar systems from BMW and Mercedes, he read the signs past the speed limit and show information for negligent drivers. However, VW's new piece of walking steps beyond that of other German companies and also do not know the signs of passing. This, of course, brings us one step closer to automotive autonomous. In combination with the departure-prevention system such as the Infiniti line, that lightly apply the brakes on one side of the car to stay on track, no sign-through-recognition can lead to a car that not only allows the driver to make an illegal pass.

powertrain option on the Phaeton remains unchanged. The only diesel option is the 240-hp, 3.0-liter V-6, while the camp had a choice between the gas-powered 280-hp, 3.6-liter V-6, a 335-hp, 4.2-liter V-8, or 450 -hp, 6.0-liter W-12. Interestingly, the Phaeton did not see the updated, 500-hp, 6.3-liter W-12 from the new Audi A8. While updates include no mention of Phaeton returning to U.S., we've heard from several high-placed executives are being considered intelligent, perhaps after the next generation arrived in recent years. Meanwhile, the Phaeton will still be one of our favorite livery transportation overseas.
