Next project is on the design table. I need to haul some heavy trailers sometimes and the Touareg is one of the few cars that can legally tow 3500 kg trailer (in europe).

At stock it gets reasonable fuel consumption 7-8 liters at 100 km/h speed.
Here is what I calculated settings for the basic car at 100 km/h speed:

When heavily modified it can go as low as this:

Could we try to keep this topic conserning this car please, even the other information is nice most people dont want to see that information here as it makes the reading of touareg info harder...
Edit: Car is bougth and first fuel consumption test done and it works much better than expexted:

Test on my stock Touareg 2.5TDI with 6 speed manual gearbox This weigths around 2000 kg and is quite big car:
80 km/h=6.3 l/100km (10km average,dry)
100 km/h= 7.3 l/100km (20km average, wet road)
120 km/h=8.8l/100km (20km average, damp road)
140 km/h=11,0 l/100km (20km average, dry)
160 km/h= 14.1 l/100km (20km average,dry)
180 km/h= 18.9 l/100km (10km average,dry) Was not anymore super relaxing speed at nigth
Top speed is around 200 km/h.
Planned mods:
- Lowering, towing car so huge ground clearance not needed.
- 215/85R16 tires with lightweight wheels
- smaller mirrors
- Grill block
- smooth underside
- Ecu remap
- Small custom aero boattail lipspoiler
- Some minor weight savings
