The power and torque is more than impressive, to the NOx emissions, we dare not even ask…

Currently, the Amarok, the toughest boy in the VW showroom, but with up to 180 hp from a tweeliter diesel would go too far to the Amarok one hunk of manhood. No, we need to really get to the other side of the Pond. Or actually, had to, because we can now also MTM offers a real gift European pickup. With V8 powerrrr.

With the departure of the Phaeton and the only supply of zespitters in the Touareg, it is not possible to put a V8 in the Volkswagen to get. Must be shopping at Audi, the A8, the 4.2 TDI with 385 horsepower and 850Nm (driving test). MTM bought himself such a block, and spooned it in the cabin of the Amarok. They did that once before, but the end result saw there was simply not. Thanks quite a luxurious interior and a matte laklaagje see this Amarok simply very good.

Pictures of the engine compartment sends the tuner, unfortunately not along with the press release, but I can imagine that there is little empty space to sight under the hood. Since MTM in the first instance, a tuner, screwing them for the occasion, the ability of these fine diesel at up to 410 hp. The torque increased to 930 Nm. Yummie!

That makes the Amarok is not only a fine offroader, also on the asphalt knows the German Pickup or board with all that power and torque. To the 100 roar in six circular seconds, for example, or the laws of aerodynamics-defying with a top of 222 km/h. For comparison, the most powerful standard Amarok is not beyond 184 km/h. This ochre-yellow candy is to marvel at the MTM booth in Geneva.
