An ordinary-looking Volkswagen Touareg is actually such only externally (and in terms of the chassis). In all other respects, it is a tuned SUV with a swap.

For those not in the know, a swap is an engine replacement (from the English word “swap” — replacement). In this case, the Touareg has an interior from a Porsche Cayenne, and under the hood is an “Audi” engine 3.0 TFSI.

Why all this? A rhetorical question… Some collect butterflies, some stash money in jars, and some engage in such unusual tuning, and this is despite the fact that the VW Touareg is not particularly old.

For those interested – watch a brief video review on the TopGir Telegram channel. We answer immediately – yes, we deliberately published it there and linked it here. Why – so that you subscribe and follow the juicy news and posts in the “Tele”, where they appear faster than on the site, and often there is something there that is not on the site.
