don't think so.  for one thing, that engine is pretty big.  it also
weighs a lot, along with the transmission (which has to be able to
take the torque).  the touareg's curb weight rises several hundred pounds
going from the 4.2 to the V10.

how about the 6 liter W12?  there's a twin turbo W12 that was developed
for bentley.  makes over 500 hp.  that's the engine to get.
