VW Phaeton goes out of production, Transparent Factory to become electromobility showcase
The last Volkswagen Phaeton has rolled off the assembly line at the company's Transparent Factory in Dresden. The final model was a black Phaeton 4MOTION which was equipped with a 4.2-liter V8 engine that produces 335 horsepower. The fate of the car remains unclear but the Phaeton was originally introduced 14 years ago to help the brand move upmarket. The model failed to catch on with consumers and it was quickly yanked from the United States lineup.
