Volkswagen
Commercial Vehicles has wowed the crowds at the annual GTI enthusiasts' 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 272 PS and 600 Nm of
torque.
The engine is similar to that which Audi uses in
passenger cars. It has a compacted graphite iron cylinder block. The engine is always arranged longitudinally.
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 62 mph
in 7.9 seconds in conjunction with an eight-speed automatic transmission and
permanent 4MOTION transmission.
