Installed euro sidemarkers on a 2002tii that we are finishing the restoration on.
Before:

After:

Retrofitted the internal brackets from the old side markers into the euros and moved the new reflectors from the euro brackets onto the USDM brackets in order to keep the bulb/socket the same as a standard USDM 2002 and maintain the function of the side marker (the european part only fuctions as a blinker). Most people would just get a dual filament bulb and solder it directly to the wires and call it a day. I opted for a more elegant solution.

It accelerates to 62 mph in 6.1 seconds before reaching a top speed of 117 mph.
The 2011 Dakar-winning Race Touareg is powered by a 2.5-liter TDI producing 296 hp and 442 lb.-ft, sent through three limited-slip diffs via a 5-speed sequential gearbox and a ZF-Sachs three-plate ceramic clutch. Presumably, the concept has that going on as well.
Volkswagen Race Touareg 3 Qatar: A Dakar Racer For The StreetsThe safety cage is still there, but the interior's been uprated to luxury-sport spec, with Recaro racing buckets seats and controls VW says were influenced by the Stealth bomber. There's naturally matte carbon trim, along with a roll cage in the very dramatic-sounding "Serpentino Grey Metallic." Seat side supports and door trim are of the exotic-sounding Nubuck leather (buffed on the grain side. Thanks, Google), though the center seat panels are made from perforated full-grain Nappa leather
