Introduction Allrounders Performances Statistics Blog Voting Wallpapers About Volkswagen Touareg

Tom Harkness

'My heart says that the title is a fight between Miller, early Botham and late Imran. I think a true allrounder needs to be a match winner in all disciplines, and whilst Sobers is one of the greatest (if not the greatest) players of all time, I put him in the Kallis mould: a fantastic batsman and a capable, but not a match-winning bowler'

Adnan Alavi

'Glamour in cricket came with Imran and almost went with his departure. He is an icon, and cannot be compared with anyone else'

Raja Mohandes

'It irks me to see people vote for Wasim Akram. While he is surely one of the best bowlers of all time, it is ridiculous to call him an allrounder'

Why the Greatest All-Rounder drives the great all-rounder

Volkswagen Advertisement Feature, November 7, 2006

Cricket's great all-rounder Andrew "Freddie" Flintoff and his luxurious Volkswagen Touareg are a perfect match, both on and off the road.

England's popular captain finds the stylish 4x4's combination of luxurious comfort with on and off-road performance ideal for his busy lifestyle, whether it's travelling the country between matches or enjoying his favourite off-road pursuits of hunting, shooting and fishing. His teammates are also enjoying the ultimate all-round driving experience, thanks to Volkswagen's sponsorship agreement as the official vehicle supplier of the England cricket team.

Experience the new Touareg

To see why Freddie is so impressed be among the first to test drive the new Touareg when it arrives in March 2007.

New Touareg is a real head-turner

Now the new Touareg, revealed at the Paris Motor Show, offers even more. Sporting a fresh new "face", revised rear styling and updated interior, the new Touareg launches next spring. Its restyle is signalled by the distinctive new grille, bonnet, front wings and bumper, plus new headlights and mirrors. The luxurious options available include leather upholstery, heated front seats, satellite navigation and a powerful new 600w 10-speaker Dynaudio entertainment system. For those who want to drive the ultimate new Touareg, the Altitude's head-turning sports bodykit includes twin chrome sports exhausts, tinted windows and new spoiler.

Great performer on and off-road

The new Touareg marks the world debut of the advanced ABSPlus system, which can further reduce braking distances. And Active Rollover Protection, rain brake support and understeer control logic which sharpens the turning performance all add to the impressive safety features.

Off the beaten track, the rugged Touareg, which can tow up to 3.5 tonnes, takes mud, water and steep slopes in its stride. Its advanced all-terrain technologies include permanent four-wheel drive and hill start and descent assist which allow the Touareg to climb slopes of up to 45 degrees and ease safely down steep descents. Models with air suspension can ford depths of up to 580 mm.
