  • V6 Amarok gets a Walkinshaw Performance upgrade
    Volkswagen Australia has given its grunty Amarok V6 a performance upgrade by teaming with the engineering team at Walkinshaw Performance, to make a good thing better.
    The upgrades made to create the Amarok W580 centre on the suspension and styling, while the powertrain remains the top-specification 580Nm version of the 3.0-litre V6.

    its a tad old but still looks tougher than all the rest in that spec, goes unreal, handles and tows like a dream. Those seats are an absolute winner, until you use them each day you dont realise how good they are. Bit pricey, but hey you only live once if you can live without some less tech then its a winner for all round driving comfort and power.

    So 10 grand for suspension, wheels, stickers and plastic bits... I know the performance of the engine is already market leading, but I think they should have at least given it a tickle... Maybe a larger Turbo, tune or both...

    10K upgrade for the suspension but still equip HT tyres? Larger wheels are not off-roaders' need. VW should learn from NISSAN and collaborate with a team which really understands the needs of Australian off-roader.

    Car reviews are just becoming more and more like adds a 4x4 review and you gloss over 20inch rims like nothing no mention of zero low range or other design flaws that basically make it useless at anything other than an on-road tow car how about servicing or repair costs.
