VOTD: The Power of Diesel Performance – Watch a V10 TDI VW Toureg in a Tug-o-War with a Chevy Silverado HD

Posted by on January 3, 2013

Sometimes the big boys just aren’t ready to play and this short video showcases some true diesel performance.   The Silverado is at 360 HP and 380 lb-ft of torque while the VW Toureg has 310 HP and 553 lb-ft of torque.  In a tug-o-war its all about the torque, which that VW has tons of and at a low RPM.  I asked my sister-in-law to predict the outcome of the video just based on what she knows about the VW and Chevy.  Thats when I just sat back and watched as her mouth fell open in disbelief.  Would you have predicted this outcome?
