Yes, 553 pound feet of torque is a lot. You would be able to drive the Touareg straight up a cliff face if traction allowed. Very few other vehicles on the road make anywhere near 553 pound feet of torque. Another interesting fact: In 1st gear of the Tiptronic, with the transmission set to low-range, the V-10 TDI Touareg produces 27,836 pound feet of torque at the wheels.
