The seller reports no modifications.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.Power comes from a 4.2-liter V8, rated at 335 horsepower and 317 lb-ft of torque. Output is sent to all four wheels via a 6-speed automatic transmission and Volkswagen's 4Motion permanent all-wheel drive system.
