Another revelation has been birthed from the Volkswagen GTI enthusiasts show in Austria. First it was the return of a twin-turbo VR6 engine in a Golf 7 GTI Concept, now Volkswagen Commercial Vehicles has wowed the crowds at the annual meeting on the shores of Lake Wörthersee, in Austria with an Amarok Power-Pickup Concept featuring a 3.0-litre V6 TDI engine with a power output of 200 kW and 600 Nm of torque.
The Power-Pickup, based on an Amarok single cab, is designed as a rolling workshop to carry spare parts, tools and race equipment, with performance to take it from standstill to 100 km/h in 7.9 seconds in conjunction with an eight-speed automatic transmission and permanent 4MOTION transmission. The striking exterior design features widened wheelarches to accommodate 22-inch alloy wheels, 80 mm lowered suspension, bi-xenon headlights with chrome surround and a chrome grille plus an enlarged lower air intake.
At the rear there is also a carbon fibre diffuser and dual exhausts, plus tinted taillights and red, white and black side decals. Inside, the dashboard, door trims and exclusive Nubuck leather sports seats have a black, red and white colour theme. In-car entertainment is supplied via an infotainment system with an eight-inch touchscreen and 500 watt subwoofer. Seriously Volkswagen, you know you’re going to make it, so make it already.
