Volkswagen is working on an 'R' variant of the Touareg SUV that will join the R32 and Passat R36 in the brand's performance lineup, according to recent press reports. Powering the R Touareg will be a performance tuned variant of Volkswagen's 5.0-liter diesel V-10, which in stock form puts out 313 horsepower and 553 lb-ft of torque.
