A trio of Volkswagen Touareg TDIs dominated the High Performance Showroom Stock division at the 2007 Pikes Peak Hill Climb taking the top three spots in their division.

The Touaregs still set respectable times with Ryan Arciero setting a division record for diesel vehicles.
Ryan Arciero and Mark Miller were both running the now discontinued V10 TDI and recorded times of 13:17:703 and 13:25:247 over the 12.4 mile long 14,110 ft climb. Motorcycle racer Chris Blais was over two minutes behind in a V-6 TDI
