The Phaeton engines
The Phaeton is available with a choice between
two petrol engines and one diesel engine.
The entry-level motor is a 3.2l V6 petrol engine.
This motor is an advancement of the 2.8l V6 pet-
rol engine.
The launch of the Passat W8 witnessed the intro-
duction of a new Volkswagen engine series:
W-engines. The absolute highlight of this engine
series — a W12 petrol engine with a 6.0l dis-
placement — is available in the Phaeton. All pet-
rol engines work with 4-valve technology and
conform with the EU4 exhaust emission standard.
A 5l V10 TDI diesel engine with a pump-jet injec-
tion system is the top engine version available in
the Phaeton.
It is the most powerful series passenger-vehicle
diesel engine in the world.
