2006 Volkswagen Phaeton 5.0 V10 TDI 4MOTION

Approx. 110,000 Miles | 5.0 V10 Twin-Turbo Diesel | 6-Speed Tiptronic Automatic | 4MOTION AWD | Private Plate PH53 EON Included

A rare opportunity to own one of Volkswagen's most ambitious and over-engineered flagship models – the extraordinary Phaeton 5.0 V10 TDI 4MOTION.

Powered by the remarkable 4,921cc V10 twin-turbo diesel engine, producing approximately 309 bhp / 313 PS and a huge 750 Nm of torque, this Phaeton combines effortless performance with permanent 4MOTION all-wheel drive and a 6-speed Tiptronic automatic gearbox.

This particular example has covered approximately 110,000 miles and presents in exceptionally tidy overall condition. The exterior paintwork shows extremely well with no notable damage, while the interior is remarkably clean and can genuinely be described as almost like new for its age.

Importantly, the car comes with a substantial and extensive service history, including a large collection of service records, maintenance invoices and receipts, together with two keys.

Also included in the sale is the highly appropriate private registration:

PH53 EON

A superb plate for a Phaeton and a great finishing touch to this very special car.

The V10 TDI

The 5.0-litre V10 TDI was one of Volkswagen's greatest engineering statements, delivering:

4,921cc V10 twin-turbo diesel
313 PS / approximately 309 bhp
750 Nm of torque
6-speed Tiptronic automatic gearbox
4MOTION all-wheel drive
0–62 mph in approximately 6.9 seconds
155 mph electronically limited top speed

The Phaeton was conceived as Volkswagen's ultimate luxury flagship and developed under the engineering vision of Ferdinand Piëch. It was designed to compete directly with the finest luxury saloons from Mercedes-Benz, BMW, Audi and Jaguar, with exceptional attention given to refinement, comfort, high-speed stability and build quality.

The Bentley Connection

The Phaeton has a genuine engineering connection to Bentley. Its D1 luxury platform architecture also underpinned the first-generation Bentley Continental GT and Bentley Continental Flying Spur.

While the Phaeton is not simply a “Bentley with VW badges”, the shared Volkswagen Group engineering programme and platform relationship are significant. This particular car is further enhanced by its Bentley-style alloy wheels, which suit the car exceptionally well.

Condition

The overall condition is a major strength of this example.

The exterior paintwork presents extremely well, with no notable damage, while the interior is exceptionally clean and remarkably well preserved.

We strongly recommend viewing the detailed underside photographs, which show the car to be in very tidy, clean condition underneath – an important consideration on any vehicle of this age.
