In virgin form, the Volkswagen Touareg R GT Concept SUV was a stock 2005 model with a 240-horsepower V6, a six-speed automatic transmission, and 4XMotion all-wheel drive. However, to be worthy of the R GT badges affixed to its exterior, this exercise in design and power needed a host of tweaks. Among the changes was the introduction of a 3.2-liter V6 with twin turbochargers, upgraded brakes and suspension, custom wheels, and a full body kit. Inside, the Volkswagen Touareg R GT Concept was fitted with a host of electronic toys and luxurious appointments.
