WOLFSBURG, Germany — It's not as if you are ever going to be in a position to use your Volkswagen Touareg V10 TDI to pull a Boeing 747 out of a ditch.
But the German automaker thought it would be an interesting exercise to see if such a feat is even possible. At the very least, it made for some interesting photos.
The event took place at the Dunsfold Aerodrome in England. To make the Touareg able to tow the plane, VW engineers first increased the SUV's weight so "the power of the engine [could] be converted into propelling force." Steel balls and steel plates were distributed in the SUV for an additional weight of 9,579 pounds. The total weight of the Touareg in this case amounted to 15,498 pounds.
Other modifications included increasing air pressure in the standard Michelin tires, limiting the maximum speed of the vehicle to protect the tires and replacing the V10 TDI transmission with the transmission of the Touareg V8.
An extra device was used to hook up the plane to the standard trailer hitch. "Based on the maximum torque of the V10 TDI (550 pound-feet) and the transmission ratio, the engineers had previously calculated that the Touareg would be able to put approximately 200 tons into motion," said VW in a statement.
Turns out they were correct. With the four-wheel-drive control in the low setting and the automatic transmission in 2nd gear, a VW technician was able to perform the feat. The plane and SUV traveled 492 feet before coming to a stop — and the company reported that a check of the Touareg did not find "any evidence of damage to the car."
