More special edition models unveiled in Qatar today, this time from VW who is introducing the Volkswagen Touareg Gold Edition which is also exclusively destined for buyers in the Middle East.
The Volkswagen Touareg Gold Edition features various 24 carat gold upgrades, which at the exterior are covering elements like the 22 inch alloys, roof rails, protective side strips and window frames, mirror caps and air intake frame.
The Volkswagen Touareg Gold Edition received the ‘Magic Mourning’ body colour, while at the interior the 24-carat gold treatment continues with the car’s accents and switches. The Volkswagen Touareg Gold Edition interior also features the ‘Luna’ trim colour, Alcantara roofliner and Nappa leather seats.
Various other unique styling upgrades have been performed, and the automaker warns that the Volkswagen Touareg Gold Edition should only be parked in areas with ‘good surveilence’.
Volkswagen press release :
Touareg Gold Edition
The Touareg Gold Edition would
certainly be able to handle a journey around the world – but bear in
mind, this car should only be parked where there is good surveillance.
That is because – living up its name – certain areas of this SUV are
upgraded with 24-carat gold. On the outside, they include the custom
designed 22-inch wheels, roof rails, protective guard strips and window
frames, mirror caps and parts of the air intake frame, "Touareg V8"
signature and boot sill trim. Like the Race Touareg 3 Qatar, this SUV is
also painted in "Magic Morning" body colour.
Inside, 24-carat
gold also adorns many of the car’s accents and switches, making the
entire car unique. The interior design itself has a pleasant, bright
appearance in the "Luna" trim colour. The Alcantara roofliner shows this
colour as does the Nappa leather of the seats, which is decorated with
ornamental stitch detailing.
On the other hand, the dashboard is
trimmed in a natural brown leather; contrasting seams in "Magnolia"
colour perfect the colour scheme. Natural brown with leather inserts in
"Luna" adorn the floor mats. Automotive craftsmanship at its finest is
reflected in the Walnut Burr accents with genuine gold marquetry – also
crafted into an ornamental pattern. This is in keeping with the general
image of the Touareg, which – in the "normal" production version – is
one of the most sophisticated SUVs in the world.
