Since 2004, Volkswagen has participated in the Dakar with the ambitious goal of winning the race with a diesel-powered vehicle. Although the Race Touareg has pulled off some fantastic performances, winning 10 of the 14 special stages on the 2007 Dakar for example, the VW drivers have not managed to go the distance against their Mitsubishi rivals in Africa. Carlos Sainz and Giniel De Villiers aim to set this right in South America.
