AS HONEST JOHN says....................................

Press offices like to give you something simple and memorable about a new car. In the case of the VW Phaeton W10, it’s 300kph.

To quote, “Unlike other luxury cars, the Phaeton was designed so that all its systems could cope with a sustained speed of 300kph (186mph) rather than the usual 250kph (155mph). For example, the W12 is the only car at any price that can be driven at 300kph in an ambient temperature pf 50 degrees centigrade and still maintain a cabin temperature of 22 degrees centigrade.”

Then they let us loose in the things on the traffic-choked A23.

I have to say, I was unable to verify the maximum speed of the “vehicle”, which is how a traffic policeman would have described it on the documentation that accompanied my arrest. And since we’re getting into a very dodgy area here I won’t even mention the car’s awesome ability to make 99 feel like 30.

The 18 way front seats are the most amazingly comfortable I have ever sat in. The front squabs electrically extend to support the longest of thighs. And the best bit is the two-piece backrest which enables you to recline the bottom part to better support your spine, then curl the top part forward to support your shoulders. After that you can choose the height and amount of lumbar support, and even set it to give you a massage almost as good as the type you get in public in Thailand.

So there are moneyed people out there looking for a car that does the business but doesn’t shout ‘Mercedes!’, ‘BMW!’, ‘Audi!’ or ‘Jaguar!’.

This is a 4Matic version with the same gob-smacking 310bhp, 553lb ft torque 5.0litre V10 diesel as the Touareg. Those who have driven it say it’s quite astonishing. Like the V10 Tourag, that’s going to be the one to have.
