Let's see an X5d do this...

Now THAT is pretty darn amazing. V10 diesel torque monster.

Engineers, VW personnel and bemused passers-by watched open-mouthed as a VW Touareg V10 TDI towed a 155-ton Boeing 747 down an auxiliary runway at Dunsfold airport, 60km south-west of London – seven times.

E61Silver is an unknown quantity at this point
They found a use for the Touareg

My X5 drives much better.

It pulls my boat just fine.

Maybe when I get that private 747 I will buy a Touareg but until then I will stick with my X5.

Oooh I love creative viral marketing efforts. Maybe an X5 can pull an old concord jet....so much more classy than just a 747. Hahaha riiiiiiiiiiight.

I would like to say that that is pretty impressive, and am pretty sure my X can't do that....but does any one know the specifications of the little plane pulling things that they actually use at the airport....if the Taureg is underpowered compared to those things then I would be impressed.

hp seems about the same but I am guessing torque from the industrial diesel and the gearing on the pushback would be a little better for the job
