Is it real? It is, if you’re racing in the Baja 1000. This purpose-built Touareg with a VW clean diesel was designed for gravel roads. Its spare tires block out any rear view, but it’s set to take 40-foot jumps and land on its feet.
What makes it tick?
The production Touareg uses a V-6, 3-liter clean diesel producing 221 horsepower and 407 pound-feet of torque.
For the off-road version, a modified 5.5-liter V-12 TDI clean diesel generates 550 horsepower and 625 pound-feet of torque. Sponsored by Red Bull, the vehicle looked so crazed I wondered if executives might have dropped a few cans of the caffeinated stuff into with the fuel.
