Tanner Foust Treats Golf Alltrack Like a Rallycross Car, Jumps It Off-Road

I bet ever guy who buys an off-road vehicle wishes he had the balls and money to jump his car. However, when it comes to Volkswagens at least, that job is usually reserved for Tanner Foust, their GRC Beetle racer.

The funny thing is that many of the comments on YouTube criticize Volkswagen for not bringing the Alltrack to the states. This red wagon is, in fact, made in Mexico specifically for America and will ship to dealerships this October. So go buy one if you want it that bad.

You don't see this kind of action in commercials, not even in ones for the Subaru WRX STI. The health and safety people will probably have it banned from existence, but what has been seen cannot be unseen.

Every Golf Alltrack will come as standard with a 1.8-liter turbo pushing 170 horsepower, all-wheel-drive and a 6-speed DSG. It's so much sleeker than the Tiguan, plus it has that rugged body cladding, so it's only natural to have rallycross urges while looking at it.

Prices start at $26,950 for the perfectly acceptable Alltrack S. However, the one you see here is the fully loaded $32,890 SEL model offers navigation, 12-way power driver seats, and 18-inch Canyon alloys. You can easily tell, because it's got Bi-Xenon headlights with U-shaped LED accents, just like the Golf R.

If you want to see how the Alltrack handles dirt without Tanner at the wheel, we suggest watching the video in our previous story. But be warned, it might seem a little dull.
