in 2011 that is powered by a V8 TDI engine with 340hp and 800Nm (590lb-ft) of torque.

The car is a one-off, and VW Sweden is not saying anything else about the truck. However, let your imagination go wild. If you live in a snowy climate, imagine driving past cars in ditches with your treaded Touareg to get some groceries or just driving off-road through a snowy forest while cossetted in the interior's leather-covered seats. The Snowareg might be the most fun, least practical winter vehicle out there.
