231 motorcycles, 14 quads, 181 car crews and 85 trucks take the start in Lisbon. The Volkswagen team has but one objective in the 29th edition: beating the Mitsubishis. In the end, all-rounder Stéphane Peterhansel bags his ninth overall victory at the Dakar. Having won six times on a motorcycle, he flaunts his superiority again in the car category, beating both his teammate Luc Alphand and his Volkswagen rivals, Carlos Sainz and Giniel de Villiers.
