Usually we try to have something in GearMania you don't have to be a billionaire to afford. But, occasionally we fall in love with a product of the human imagination so extreme that we just have to share it. So what if you have to be an Arab sheik to own one?Behold, the Race Touareg 2. This is Volkswagen's 2009 entry in the world's most brutal endurance race, the Dakar Rally. Built from an aluminum-tube frame, powered by 2.5 liter TDI engines, these beasts are built to drive 500 miles day over the world's roughest terrain.
This is what they look like wrecked. Spaniard Carlos Sainz just crashed his Race Touareg 2 out of the race, losing the lead to fellow VW driver, South African Giniel De Villiers.)
