Tuned Volkswagen Touareg W12 does epic burnouts [videos]

Tire-shredding footage

Total Race has introduced an insane tuning package for the Volkswagen Touareg W12.

Our Russian is little rusty, but the model has a 6.0-liter engine with twin-turbochargers, a ProEFI EMS and a "Smart" all-wheel drive system which can send power exclusively to the rear wheels.

Sadly, there's no additional information but the standard engine produces 450 PS (331 kW / 444 hp) and 600 Nm (442 lb-ft) of torque. This allows the SUV to accelerate from 0-100 km/h in 5.9 seconds and hit an electronically limited 250 km/h (155 mph).

Some form of over-run enrichment built into the ECU maps to prevent a high RPM lean-burn situation that would potentially destroy the engine. Sounded like he requested 100% of avail tq for the launch and then reneged right around the transmissions shift point; closing the throttles and "wasting" the boost. In gas powered cars, black smoke from the tail pipe is always an indication of a rich A/F mixture. Thats also a good way to grenade a transmission...
