Do Germans do irony? We"re asking for a friend. Because Volkswagen, of all companies, is the one to assault the 2019 Geneva motor show with a new diesel-powered super-SUV. This is the VW Touareg V8 TDI. Yep, the clue is in the name. Somehow now visible through that monumental grille is a 4.0-litre twin-turbo V8 diesel motor. It"s not the Audi SQ7 engine this one does without electric turbo compressors to reduce lag and it"s down a whole pair of turbos on the new BMW X5 M50d. But the stats, predictably, are still potty.
