For sale is an exceptionally rare Phaeton W12 from the 2010 model year. Anyone familiar with the history of the Transparent Factory in Dresden knows about the uncompromising quality of this model. This example was first registered in September 2009 and is at an absolute collector's level.

The key details at a glance:

  • Engine: 6.0-liter naturally aspirated W12 with 450 hp. Mechanically untouched and silky smooth in operation. Top speed limiter removed
  • Mileage: 174,000 kilometers, fully documented.
  • History: Prominent previous owner. The entry is recorded in the original registration document.
  • Documentation: The original birth certificate (factory vehicle data sheet) is available.
  • Maintenance: In my ownership, consistently maintained exclusively by a renowned Phaeton specialist. The annual services were carried out regularly.

The factory configuration in detail
Almost every box on the options list was ticked when the vehicle was ordered. The only omission is the optional refrigerator in the rear, allowing the trunk to retain its full volume. The configuration reflects the technological maximum of its time.

  • Chassis & brakes: The vehicle is equipped with the extremely rare carbon-ceramic braking system on the front axle. It was inspected by specialists and is in flawless condition. The car rides on the original 19-inch wheels.
  • Exterior: The car retains its original paint in the Individual special color Tarantella Black Pearl Effect. Depending on the incidence of light, the color displays a deep, dark red-violet color play.
  • Interior & wood: The entire cabin is fitted with genuine, deep-black piano lacquer. This also includes the fine-wood-trimmed, continuous center console in the rear. An Alcantara headliner, including the pillars, completes the interior.
  • Seats & comfort: This is the First-Class four-seat configuration. Both the front seats and the electrically adjustable individual rear seats are 18-way comfort seats. They offer full massage, heating, and active ventilation functions (cooling and heating). All doors close softly via the original power-assisted door closing system. Electric rear tables complete the passenger area.
  • Technology & multimedia: The large RNS 810 radio navigation system controls the media environment. The original high-end rear entertainment system with two monitors in the headrests and the associated DVD changer is installed in the rear. Sound is provided by the Dynaudio Temptation sound system. The installed solar sunroof independently supplies the ventilation system with power when stationary. Thermal insulation is provided by the factory-fitted double glazing with privacy tinting in the rear. Auxiliary heating fully functional with remote control.
  • Driver assistance systems: The comprehensive assistance package consisting of Adaptive Cruise Control (ACC), Side Assist, and Front Assist is on board, supplemented by the original rear-view camera. And much more!
