Touareg pulls off heavy-duty tow-job

London England - 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.
The vehicle was a standard production Touareg fitted with a special towing adaptor to connect it with the aircraft towing link and loaded with 4345kg of metal ballast to bring its total weight to 7030kg, including the driver, an engineer from the technical department at VW's headquarters in Germany.
