\nCoverEFX, a tuner out of Erftstadt, Germany, has taken it upon itself to bless the VW Touareg W12<\/a> with a little extra horsepower. While the company specializes in vehicle wraps of all shapes and sizes, it’s answered the prayers of soccer dads everywhere by throwing a little extra pep at the already insane SUV. With a little wrenching, the crew managed to bleed around 500 horsepower from the engine.<\/p>\n

Aside from a reflashed ECU, the engine is nearly completely stock, save for a new air filter system and a free-flowing exhaust. The company also worked its magic on the SUV’s suspension, turning the high-riding ute into a belly-scraping beast with a new set of coilovers. The finished product rides on massive 22-inch Kahn<\/a> RS-L wheels that only a mother could love.<\/p>\n

Want one? CoverEFX says that the total package will set you back close to $188,000 at current conversion rates. Better hop on the phone soon, though. The tuner only plans on churning out 500 examples. Hit the jump<\/a> for the press blast.<\/p>\n
