The Touareg shares its platform with the Porsche Cayenne and was built to tow and to climb. The V10 TDI gave it 750 N·m; a Touareg called Stanley won the DARPA Grand Challenge in 2005.
Volkswagen Motorsport’s Race Touareg then won the Dakar Rally three years running — Giniel de Villiers in 2009, Carlos Sainz in 2010 with a one-two-three, and Nasser Al-Attiyah in 2011. The third generation of 2018 has no low range and is outside the registry.
