Volkswagen Touareg V10 TDI VS Boeing 747

	Duration: 05:04 minutes Upload Time: 06-12-06 15:47:40 User: ognl :::: Favorites
Description: Tom Ford tests the true power of the Touareg. Loyal viewers of the programme will remember the episode of Fifth Gear where we set the VW Touareg a towing challenge and made it drag a people carrier driving in the opposite direction, a telegraph pole and a combine harvester. But now we've upped the ante, and we're going to try and tow a whole jet, a jumbo jet - a Boeing 747. If Tom manages it, it'll be a new world record for the heaviest thing towed by a production vehicle.

caddymankc ::: Favorites if that was a flat grade or a downhill grade any car could pull that once it got moving but seeing that at least get that plane moving,vw should make a pickup like the rabbit again or make a midsize pickup with the v12 diesel.now that would be cool. 07-08-13 22:03:54 _____________________________________________________

commswarrior ::: Favorites It is a decommissioned 747 that is about to be scrapped. The plane was used in a Bond film, so was modified by M5 to have the doubled-up engines and external fuel pods. The plane can not fly (the engines are "fakes". The plane is parked at Dunsfold Park in the UK. 07-08-20 04:04:15 _____________________________________________________
commswarrior ::: Favorites No they can't.. The tractive force of friction would prevent a 255KW V8 in a 1.5T car from moving a 158T plane. The car would sit there and spin the wheels, as if anchored to a bollard. Go learn some physics to find out for yourself. 07-08-20 04:06:13 _____________________________________________________
