Default rally tourage

i saw on speed news tonight vw made a rally tourage fopr the Dakar rally. It's pretty cool. I'm gonna try to find some pics. They said it has a 2.3l v5 engine 4 wheel drive and they built it in 7 months. It's being tested now and looks to be a pretty hardcore offroader. Does anybody have pics or saw it too?

i just checked out speed channels site and couldn't find a pic. It's sponsored by red bull. It was just debuted(spelling) at a show so it might be a few weeks until pics re posted on their site. But if anybody finds one post it up.

Looks like a Baja. Is VW competing in the Dakar Rally?

Cool, it's still running the TDI like the Baja, wonder if it's a beefed up version from the 218hp used last year?
