As the pet project of Volkswagen chairman Dr. Ferdinand Piëch, the Phaeton was designed to take on the might of BMW and Mercedes-Benz in the high-end luxury sedan market. Envisioned as the finest luxury sedan in the world, Volkswagen spent billions on design and development, including construction of an all-new state of the art factory. Engineers succeeded in creating an outstanding luxury car that bettered the competition in nearly every category, with the flagship featuring a 420-horsepower 6.0-liter W12, all-wheel drive, and virtually every luxury nicety one could need.

This collector-owned Phaeton W12 is one of fewer than 500 delivered new in the USA, and one of only thirty 2005 models. It has covered just over 56,000 miles from new and is offered in excellent condition. It is a rare example that has been consistently maintained without regard to cost, including recent fitment of all-new Gen II air suspension, proper Continental tires, and air conditioning compressor replacement. Finished in Black Heliochrome paint over excellent gray leather trim, it is an outstanding example of this rare and intriguing modern collectible. This vehicle just arrived, and a full description is coming soon. Please contact Hyman Ltd for more details.
