Assessment

The Volkswagen Phaeton 6.0 W12 420hp is a 6.0L naturally aspirated petrol engine producing 420 BHP and 550 Nm from the factory. With a typical Stage 1 remap, output increases to approximately 445 BHP and 600 Nm — a gain of around 25 BHP (6%) and 50 Nm (9%).

This engine has limited remap suitability, though the available headroom is limited, so gains are modest compared to higher-output variants. The tuning headroom is classified as limited, based on the percentage gain available from the factory output.

From a technical perspective, the transmission is manual and dsg/s tronic automatics are common depending on model/engine. some dsg/dual-clutch gearboxes have torque management; calibration may be torque-limited. at this torque level, transmission and driveline servicing history becomes especially important..

All figures shown are typical estimates based on aggregated Stage 1 data for this engine variant. Actual results depend on vehicle condition, mileage, and the chosen tuning method. We recommend discussing your specific vehicle with a qualified remap professional.
