Volkswagen Touareg II Royal GT 470 by Hofele Design review:

Tailor-made suit for Touareg II: "Royal GT 470"

The internationally known premium tuner HOFELE-DESIGN has developed a new product range for the VW Touareg II which enhances the exclusivity of this car.

Better look

With its new body kit for the VW Touareg II Hofele-Design turns the Touareg into the "Royal GT 470". With this new body kit the Touareg gets the occurrence of a real "royal greatness"!

The impressive design lines of the new edge accented VW design are kept and are dynamically sharpened through the emotional wheel arch extensions of the Hofele-Design body kit.

The aero dynamic front end attachment elements with openings for the original fog lamps and the ACC / lane assistant guide the air flow CW optimised to the sides and over the wheel arch extensions. Additionally developed was the Hofele-Design rear apron diffuser. This rear apron is put into the original rear bumper and replaces the original rear apron. Another strong design element are the 4-tube stainless steel tailpipes which are available as "integrated double oval" or "double round" version. These tailpipes simply replace the original tailpipes and are bolted onto the serial VW mufflers. The interaction of these 4-tube tailpipes with the wider diffuser rear apron makes the rear of the Touareg look very powerful.

As alternative the Hofele-Design rear apron can be combined with the original Touareg tailpipes.

The front grill with the two dynamic bars and the "Hofele Bear" crest shows the distinctive and independent face of the "Royal GT 470".

More elegance

In the interior Hofele-Design indulges with their own "Bi-Colour" leather design "Star-Light".

The bi-colour "StarLight" leather interior has the Hofele-Design style with nested stripes, inserted leather crest, quilted elements and offset decorative stitching.

As addition to the "StarLight" seat covers the door panels and arm rest can be covered with leather as well. Indeed a "royal feeling!"

More dynamic

The Hofele-Design product range features a variety of elegant designer wheels in the sizes between 20" and 22".

The electric lowering module lowers the Touareg with air suspension up to 40mm while standing and while driving up to 80km/h. On speeds over 80 km/h the module is deactivated to retain the serial height to give the chassis its full comfort and reserves on high speeds.

But what presses the passengers into the elegant seats in the royal interior?

The engine tuning for the Touareg by Hofele-Design!

Hofele-Design increases the power of the 3.0 TDI CR from 240 PS to 275 PS and the torque from 500 Nm to 580 Nm. Results on the street: acceleration from 0 to 100 km/h in 6.9 sec and a final speed of 229 km/h.

That is something for fast royals.

As usual all parts are being mounted to the original points of attachment. This is easy-going, fast and requires no modifications to the car at all.

The complete kit is available and ready for sale.
