JE DESIGN is introducing an upgrade package developed for the Volkswagen Touareg facelift equipped with the V8 4.2 TDI engine.

They worked on the R-Line version and created a full aerodynamic body kit starting at the front with a new radiator grille and spoiler. Also noticeable are the more pronounced wheel arch flares and a roof-mounted spoiler while a subtle diffuser rounds off the exterior changes. The entire body kit can be had for €4,760, but customers have the possibility of ordering the desired pieces individually.

Extra attention was given to the V8 4.2 TDI engine which in standard configuration generates 340 PS (250 kW) and 800 Nm (591 lb-ft) of torque, but after JE DESIGN worked its magic they managed to bump output to 410 PS (302 kW) and 930 Nm (687 lb-ft). The added oomph costs €2,399 and comes with a two-year warranty on the engine and eight-speed tiptronic gearbox.

Once the power module is applied, the VW Touareg V8 4.2 TDI will sprint to 62 mph (100 km/h) in 5.4 seconds, making it 0.4s quicker than the standard model. There's no word about the top speed, but most likely it has increased a little bit from the series 150 mph (242 km/h).
