The Volkswagen Phaeton, internally Typ 3D, is a full-size luxury sedan that Volkswagen described as its premium class vehicle. It was introduced at the 2002 Geneva Motor Show and marketed worldwide, aimed at buyers of comfort-oriented limousines such as the Mercedes-Benz S-Class and Lexus LS rather than at the more performance-oriented Audi A8 from the same group. It was hand assembled in the Transparent Factory in Dresden, Germany, a glass-walled plant, and its engine range included a W12 and a 5.0 litre V10 TDI that marked the first use of a V10 engine in a production sedan. Sales in North America ended in 2006 and production ended in March 2016.
