Besides the impressive street-legal Race Touareg 3, Volkswagen revealed another concept car at Qatar Motor Show which frankly appeals to the Arabs most of all! It is a normal Touareg SUV garnished in certain areas with 24-carat gold.

The bits on the outside that get wrapped up in pure 24-carat gold include the custom designed 22-inch wheels, roof rails, protective guard strips and window frames, mirror caps and parts of the air intake frame, “Touareg V8? signature and boot sill trim. Like the Race Touareg 3 Qatar, this SUV is also painted in “Magic Morning” body color.

As for the interior, besides the various gold coated accents and switches, it features “Luna” trim color with Alcantara roofliner shows this color as does the Nappa leather of the seats, which is decorated with ornamental stitch detailing. Also the dashboard is trimmed in a natural brown leather; contrasting seams in “Magnolia” color perfect the color scheme. Natural brown with leather inserts in “Luna” adorn the floor mats. But the absolute highlight of the car remains Walnut Burr accents with genuine gold marquetry – also crafted into an ornamental pattern.

This car is literally priceless, but there are plenty of people in that region who are more than glad to write a six figure check for this one of a kind Touareg.
