2004 Volkswagen Phaeton W12 Premiere Edition, finished in Black Piano Lacquer with a beige leather interior. Luxuriously equipped, it features the Comfort Package, 18-inch wheels, an adjustable air suspension system, heated and ventilated front seats, 4-zone automatic climate control, and a navigation system, among other equipment. The list of parts replaced since 2019 includes the front air struts, the front upper control arms, engine wiring harness, the transmission pan gasket, the rear brake pads and rotors, and the ignition switch.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 for this Phaeton comes from a 6.0-liter W12, rated at 420 horsepower and 406 lb-ft of torque. It spins the 4 wheels via a 5-speed automatic transmission and Volkswagen's 4Motion all-wheel-drive system.
