Volkswagen’s Flagship
The introduction of the Volkswagen
Phaeton is the result of developments in
the international market for luxury cars.
Product quality alone is no longer sufficient
to guarantee success in highly-developed
markets. The prestige and value of the
brand are also decisive in influencing
purchasing decisions.
The increasing importance of customer
brand awareness spurred Volkswagen’s
entry into the luxury-class vehicle
market segment.
With the launch of the Phaeton, we are
introducing a product that both meets the
technical requirements demanded by our
customers, and also satisfies the value and
prestige demands being made on the
Volkswagen brand.
There are separate Self-Study
Programs on the following topics:

• The Phaeton W12 Engine
Management System (892303)

Introduction

The Phaeton Name
The name Phaeton (or Phaethon) originally
derives from Greek mythology. Phaeton
(the “incandescent”) was the son of the
sun god Helios, who was the owner of the
sun chariot.
Derived from this, the word “phaeton” also
refers to the four-wheeled horse-drawn
walking coaches that became popular in the
18th century.
These phaetons are open owner-driver
carriages, featuring a trestle seat for two
persons with or without a canopy top.
Behind the trestle seat there is a seat for
one or two passengers facing forward.
Even now, these phaetons are driven
at special events. Original examples
have become extremely coveted
collectors’ items.
At the onset of the 20th century, the
term “phaeton” was applied to touring
carriages with a fabric canopy and without
side windows.
The Phonetics of Phaeton
How is it pronounced?
Phaeton is pronounced as follows:
fay - ton
The ending is spoken with an unvoiced
“N,” comparable to the pronunciation of
the words Futon or Flacon.

Phaeton’sPlaceinAutomotiveHistory
Since 1910, August Horch endowed some
of his models with the “Phaeton” suffix.
Some examples include the 1931 Horch
18/90 hp 450 Phaeton and the 1911 Horch
12/28 hp Phaeton, as well as the 1937
Horch 853A Parade Phaeton only three of
which were built, and the last remaining
model of which recently sold for $334,000.
The choice of the name “Phaeton” for
the Volkswagen flagship links this vehicle
to the tradition of employing superior
quality-control requirements in the
production phase to provide the ultimate
in exclusivity for each future owner
of a Phaeton.

Introduction
The Transparent Factory
Concept
Not only has the advent of the exclusive
Phaeton led to the building of an
impressive production line in Dresden,
it has also engendered a polished and
precisely-functioning logistics concept.
The transparent factory represents a
significant milestone for Volkswagen’s
customer-oriented manufacturing
and delivery.
In addition to these outstanding technical
production details, purchasers of this
high-quality luxury-class automobile can
expect a perfectly-arranged vehicle transfer
with all of the pageantry suitable to such
a special event.
Production Line
Contrary to the popular opinion that
automobile manufacture is irrevocably
linked with dirt and oil, the vision of
manufacturing evident in Dresden depicts
production in an almost noble light.
The core of the manufacturing process
features overlapping conveyor belts floored
with fine wood parquet. The result is a
production line with an atmosphere like that
otherwise only seen in elite luxury sports
car plants.

Introduction

Logistics
An automated system guides baskets
containing the individual components used
for the assembly of each vehicle through
the factory. Each basket accompanies its
corresponding vehicle throughout the
assembly stage. This reduces wasted
motion during assembly.
The chassis for a specific vehicle, including
the engine, transmission and exhaust
system, and the corresponding body are
simultaneously assembled on different
floors. These major subassemblies are then
transported in glass elevators to a different
level, where they are joined into a complete
vehicle and the final assembly process
takes place.
Once the manufacturing process has been
completed, each Phaeton is once again
placed on the overlapping conveyor belt
before receiving its finishing touches and
its final check.
Delivery
An exclusive automobile cries out for the
appropriate stage-management of its
delivery. Customers are the center of
attention in the transparent factory’s
emotionally and technologically impressive
discovery area.
Potential Phaeton owners are treated to a
birds-eye view of production via live video
image during a Virtual Production Tour.
