Volkswagen Touareg TDI Trophy Truck unveiled in LA

If the world’s most difficult rally is the Dakar Rally, then the most extraordinary event is the Baja 1000 in Mexico. The Baja is an uninterrupted 630 miles (just a little over 1,000 kilometers), continuously running against the clock, on the most vicious landscape. There are only a few rules.

The participants can be anything from production VW Beetle to the 800 hp Trophy Truck in the Unlimited Class, and all kinds of two- and quad-wheeled vehicles. VW will compete in the Baja on November 21 2008 for the very first time with a uniquely designed Baja Touareg TDI in the top class of the Trophy Trucks.

Too bad this truck gets watered down so much on the showroom, It's a great suv and all. I want one of the race versions!

This might help move V6 TDI's ... if VW ever gets the V6 TDI Touareg over here! It will be an awesome all-around vehicle ... commute during the week, tow your trailer and toys on the weekend.
