Though the Panamericana 2006 drivers won’t be stuffed as tight in their
biodiesel-powered VW Touaregs as those MINI Cooper drivers in their trek from South
Africa to England, they still won’t have it easy as they head from Deadhorse, Alaska to the tip of South America
in 15 days. According to sibling site AutoblogGreen, the
nine-member, three-SUV fleet will drive 24/7, each driver taking five-hour shifts behind the wheel. The journey, which
is meant to promote biodiesel, is documented on the Panamericana 2006 website. [Source: Fairbanks Daily News-Miner via AutoblogGreen]
