Volkswagen: Austria`s Haider Was Killed

The Phaeton is the safest of all. You`d need the key to manipulate the electronics, Volkswagen spokesperson claims.

Although Austrian investigators claimed that right-wing leader Joerg Haider was drunk during the tragic accident, Volkswagen decided to hire their own experts to see if there is a possibility that the politician was killed.

Peter Thul, Volkswagen spokesperson, claims that electronic features could have been tampered with on the car Haider was driving.

The Volkswagen Phaeton was constructed to overcome the curve Haider speeded off and died.

- The Phaeton and Audi A8 are the safest of all. You’d need the key to manipulate the electronics, so someone at a garage would have to tamper with it – Thul said.

The Austrian right-wing leader`s accident was compared to the death of Princess Diana.
