Okay,
this looks pretty cool. No idea if it's an effective military vehicle, but it looks cool.
When Germany starts stockpiling armaments, it tends to worry the neighbors. This, on the other hand, is more likely to scare your neighbor into buying a HUMMER. While we don't know any technical details about this military-spec Volkswagen Touareg, we wouldn't expect it to turn up on your local dealership's lot anytime soon.
The images show a Touareg stripped of its chrome hardware and slathered in matte green paint. It's been fitted with all manner of combat communications systems, from the looks of the antennas that would likely get blown off by the automatic turret cannon on the roof (which, by the way, appears to be mounted to the stock roof rack). The Vee-Dub doesn't seem to have had much bulletproofing bodywork done, aside from maybe some indiscernible internal reinforcement, which would lead us to believe that, for the time being at least, this appears to be a demonstration prototype only.

HAHA! I just saw that on DubDaily and wondered how much it would cost to do that to my car.

the perfect commuter vehicle for DC.
how much for just the auto turret that mounts to the luggage rack? I'd give up the sunroof for that.

You can't have the enemy thinking you don't have proper road etiquette.
Remember, safety first!
