Is there a new vehicle for Dakar 2011?

After the 2010 Dakar, it was reported that Robby said he was going  to build a new vehicle with 4x4.  since Hummer is becoming defunct, it would seem that he knew this and had another vehicle in mind.  Does anyone know what this new vehicle is?  Is he still on for 2011?

I know I'm beating a dead horse but i wish the hummer was a 4x4 with 33 in tires on it and Robby would have a chance to win

Yes the horse is dead!

I believe 4x4 must run a 31 inch tire and only 12 inch or wheel travel. Also it has been said before that Volkswagen has a budget of approx $100,000,000. It is already tough to compete dollar for dollar against VW. If Robby was to attempt to build a 4x4 he would be farther behind then he already is. VW spends $100,000,000 because they need too, too be where they are today technically, not because they want too.

A guy can always dream.Robby's in the hunt for at least stage wins with the current combo.

Question- Is the Rally back to North Africa for 2012?

When speed energy gets into the stores, Robby might be buying Volkswagen by next year

You can count on that not happening. The reason Robby built the Hummer is he hated the suspension of the VW
