'Unknown' Touareg
Hey guys!
Saw the movie 'Unknown' today which stars Liam Neeson. Awesome car chase through the streets of Berlin between a Touareg and a Mercedes taxi. Just
wondered if anyone knows any specs of the Touareg that was used in the movie?

Nope, haven't seen it yet, and IMDB doesn't have any technical detail on the cars http://www.imdb.com/title/tt1401152/ The current Touareg is no longer available with the V10 TDI, but there is still a
wide range of petrol and diesel V8s available.
I noticed this movie didn't get very good writeups in the paper, and is currently rating around 58% on Rotten Tomatoes. Still it sounds like an
interesting movie; the 'Who am I?' theme is a popular idea, used in everything from the old Twilight Zone episodes to movies such as 'Shattered'
and the Bourne series.
Speaking of which, the third Bourne movie - the Bourne Ultimatum - also features a VW Touareg in chase scenes. That one used a remote driver
(positioned on the roof!) for the filming.
