Self-Study Programme 270
The Phaeton
The Phaeton — Volkswagen's flagship — is
based on developments in the international mar-
ket for luxury goods: a product's quality alone is
no longer sufficient to guarantee success in
highly-developed markets. The prestige and
value of the brand are decisive in influencing
purchase decision-making.
Customers' brand awareness is becoming
increasingly manifest, thereby necessitating
Volkswagen's entry into the higher-class seg-
ment.
The launch of the Phaeton witnesses the develop-
ment of a product which meets customers' techni-
cal requirements as well as satisfying the value
and prestige demands made on the Volkswagen
brand.

In a nutshell
The Phaeton name
The
Phaeton
or
Phaethon
name is originally
derived 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,
Phaetons
also refer to the
four-wheeled walking coaches which have been
popular since the 18th century. This refers to open
owner-driver carriages, featuring a trestle seat
for 2 persons with or without a canopy top.
Behind the trestle seat there is a seat for one or
two passengers facing forwards.
Even nowadays, these
Phaetons
are driven at
special tournaments - original specimens having
become extremely coveted collector items.
At the onset of the 20th century, the term
Phaeton
stood for touring carriages with a fabric
canopy and without side windows.

ultimate in exclusivity for each future owner of
