Volkswagen Touareg Dakar Rally racer

The Volkswagen Touareg Dakar rally contender has been spied testing in the Alps. The Mk 3 of the Race Touareg is expected to get a slightly more power from its diesel engine and a revised suspension. The car could also get new electronics to cope with the increased power.

The Race Touareg 2 has a 2.5 liter twin turbo 5-cylinder diesel engine which produces 280 bhp and 600 Nm of torque. Though the Race Touareg 3 (pictured) being tested could have a power boost to over 300 bhp. The Race Touareg 2 won the first and second position in the 2010 Dakar Rally.

Volkswagen would be looking to retain its winning spree in next year’s Dakar Rally and would be readying to unleash the Touareg rally spec vehicle at the 32nd Dakar Rally that would be held between January 1-15, 2011 in South America.
