2011 Volkswagen Race Touareg 3 Qatar

Unveiled together with the Touareg Gold Edition at the recent Qatar Motor Show, the Volkswagen Race Touareg 3 is an authentic Rally motor sport car, which was designed to handle rough terrains and extreme weather conditions with ease.

The Race Touareg comes with a 2.5-litre, 5 cylinder turbo-diesel engine offering 228kW and has the ability to move as fast as one hundred kilometers per hour in less than six seconds – and it’s still legally approved in most highways. But don’t worry, this car isn’t only for rallies, the over two meter wide body is faintly customized for the road. The average length of this vehicle is 2 meters and the facelift of the SUV model has been slightly changed to accentuate structural aesthetics. It is applicable to different types of roads and car racing tracks.

It sports an 18 inch BBS wheel, not 16 inches, which has that golden look. High quality rubber has been used to increase the gripping power of tires of Touareg 3 SUV cars. Stretched on both sides of the car is the “Race Touareg” signature in gold that matches the “Magic Morning” body painting, that is, white that has a little gleam of gold.

Everything in the interior is said to be redesigned except the safety cage. The Touareg 3 SUV is user-friendly for drivers as these vehicles provide excellent maneuvering and handling. The inside has a particularly streamlined look with the driving machine as its focus, and it is has racing bucket seats from Recaro. The makers made an interior in a “Stealth look” that allows the driver feel like being in a Stealth plane.
