About the Volkswagen Race Touareg Red Bull #310 J. Kleinschmidt / F. Pons Dakar Rally 2005 Minichamps 1:43

TL;DR: Minichamps' 1:43 diecast Volkswagen Race Touareg reproduces car #310 from the 2005 Dakar Rally, crewed by Jutta Kleinschmidt and Fabrizia Pons for Volkswagen's factory team. The sealed one-piece body carries the full Red Bull livery with tampo-printed graphics, documenting one of rally-raid's most accomplished driver-navigator pairings.

Jutta Kleinschmidt remains the only woman to have won the Dakar Rally outright, and by 2005 she had paired with Fabrizia Pons, one of the sport's most respected navigators, inside Volkswagen's factory Touareg effort. This #310 model documents that specific crew rather than the team's livery in general.

Minichamps' Sealed-Body Diecast and the #310 Livery

One-Piece Casting and Crew-Specific Detailing

Like its sister entries from the same season, this Touareg is cast as a sealed, one-piece body, holding the Red Bull sponsor graphics and rally-plate numbering in tight registration across the bonnet and door lines without a hinge tolerance to accommodate. Where this release differs from a dealer or generic livery variant is the crew-specific detailing tied to car #310 as it was actually entered, rather than a livery applied without reference to who drove it. Lifted from its case, the metal casting's weight is the first thing that registers.

Rally-Spec Stance at 1:43

The raised suspension travel, auxiliary lighting and roof-mounted spare that mark this out as a Dakar competition car rather than a road-going SUV are all present, simplified appropriately for the smaller scale but proportionally correct. Diecast construction gives the model real heft for its size, and the paint holds an even gloss across the large flat panels the livery depends on.

Jutta Kleinschmidt, Fabrizia Pons, and Volkswagen's Works Effort

The Only Woman to Win the Dakar Outright

Jutta Kleinschmidt won the Dakar Rally outright in 2001, a result no other woman has matched before or since, and that achievement alone makes her one of rally-raid's genuinely significant figures. By the time this #310 Touareg competed in 2005, she had moved into Volkswagen's factory programme, bringing the credibility of a proven Dakar winner to the manufacturer's still-developing cross-country effort.

A Proven Navigator in the Right-Hand Seat

Fabrizia Pons built her reputation navigating for some of rallying's most respected drivers before joining Kleinschmidt, and pairing an experienced winning driver with an equally experienced navigator gave Volkswagen's works team real credibility. Together they represented one of the strongest driver-navigator pairings fielded by any factory Dakar team that decade, a detail that gives this particular #310 more historical weight than a generic livery variant would carry.

A Crew-Specific Piece for a Dakar Rally Collection

This crew-specific Touareg pairs naturally with the #307 Saby/Perin car from the same season, letting a Dakar Rally shelf trace Volkswagen's full 2005 factory roster rather than a single entry in isolation. At 1:43, several works Touareg models sit comfortably on one shelf without crowding. It sits comfortably beside the same team's Dealer Edition too, the two variants telling different sides of the same season's story. A small model carrying real motorsport weight.
