Modifications reported by the seller are limited to tinted windows and a SiriusXM satellite radio module.Launched in America as a 2004 model, the Phaeton embodied the upmarket shift masterminded by former Volkswagen Group chairman Ferdinand Piëch. It was built on the same basic platform as the Bentley Continental Flying Spur, and it was unabashedly positioned as the flagship of the Volkswagen brand. Although it was an excellent sedan by most period accounts, it failed to excite consumers in the United States and sales ended after the 2006 model year. Most sources peg American sales in the vicinity of 3,000 units, and less than 500 of those were equipped with the W12 engine, according to VW Vortex.Power comes from a 6.0-liter W12, rated at 420 horsepower and 406 lb-ft of torque. Output is sent to all four wheels via a 5-speed automatic transmission and Volkswagen's 4Motion all-wheel-drive system.
