It might not be a fireapple red convertable that can burn through Baker, Barstow and Berdo on its way to Las Vegas on a savage search to find the American dream, but its still a pretty cool motor.

You may remember “Stanley,” the Touareg who won the $2 million prize at the DARPA’s race back in October. Well Stanford went and brought the champion out here for all to ogle. The Stanford robot Volkswagen Touareg finished the course in 6 hours 53, minutes beating everyone else to take the record, so it’s pretty cool to see something this expensive and powerful up close. I noticed they had a tent to hide it from the sun. I suppose they were afraid it’d drive off on it’s own and run over the CES crowd. Johnny 5 is alive!
