Basic information and history

The Volkswagen Phaeton is the culmination of Ferdinand Piëch’s ambition to build a discreet luxury sedan with engineering standards typically reserved for far more expensive marques. The model was built at the so-called Gläserne Manufaktur in Dresden with a strong focus on material quality, NVH performance, and chassis technology enabling sustained high Autobahn speeds under demanding conditions. A long wheelbase and four-seat Executive configuration also delivered rear-seat comfort on par with contemporary flagships.

This example is a 2009 Volkswagen Phaeton in Long Wheelbase specification with Executive rear seating. The car was imported to Sweden from Germany and is said to have been sold new in Denmark. The odometer reads 149,000 kilometres. This is a very rare specification with a very high level of equipment.
