Race Touareg 3 Concept...

So if Carlos Sainz had won the Dakar this year do you think they would have unveiled this in Spain?

Unveiled in Nasser Al-Attiyah's home of Qatar this week is the street legal Race Touareg 3 Qatar production vehicle concept.  No, this is not a production vehicle yet, but it is about as close as we are likely to get.  With a cushy interior, full cage and an engine derived if not identical to the one in the actual race Touareg this thing will haul ass to the local daycare.

With the Ford Raptor now available and the recent Dodge RamRunner parts being produced, is it really that much of a stretch to think that VW could produce a retail vehicle similar to this?  In fact, one VW source indicates that this vehicle WILL get a limited production run.  Now whether any of those produced will be available here in the US is another question entirely...
