[ Thursday, January 27th, 2011 | by automotiveroom | under CAR, New Cars, Volkswagen ]

At the first Qatar Motor Show (26-29 January, 2011), Volkswagen has presented a slightly tamer version of the Touareg 3 that started in the Dakar Rally at the beginning of January 2011; this 228 kW / 310 PS Volkswagen could very well be the world’s most talented street-legal SUV.

the vehicles in Qatar, a version of the Race Touareg SUV 3.1 can run to 100 km / h in less than six seconds – which are legally approved for use on public roads. I’m just more than two meters wide body slightly modified for the road. Instead of 16-inch wheels, new wheels with the look 18-inch BBS gold medal can be used. Signing Race Touareg “- also the color of gold – extends the entire length of the vehicle in exchange, is perfectly coordinated with the exterior paint finish.

The interior was completely redesigned; all that remained unmodified was the safety cage. Without compromises also means an interior that offers easy controls and is ergonomic. The interior has an extremely well-organised appearance with focus on the driving machine, and it is equipped with Recaro racing bucket seats. Designers created an interior in so-called “Stealth look” that is reminiscent of the aircraft of the same name. In tribute to the Dakar Rally, the Dakar victories are etched in the anodised aluminium of the centre console, right next to the “Race Touareg” signature.

Other trim elements are treated in Matt Carbon. Tuned to this is the roll cage in “Serpentino Grey Metallic.” Interior designers have upholstered the seat side supports and the door trim panels with Nubuk leather in “Black” and “Pure Grey,” while the centre seat panels are made from perforated Nappa leather in “Titan Black.” Additional accents include the two-tone seams and silver piping on the seat covers and safety-related items painted in “Tornado Red.” The only other ingredient that is needed is some time to explore the world on a “360 degree route” in this uncompromising car.
