Amarok R-Line could preview a V6 turbodiesel production model.
This sporty version of Volkswagen’s Amarok ute is strictly a concept, though it confirms the German carmaker has recognized the all around awesomeness of performance utes and is at least toying with the idea of building one of its own.
The new concept is called the Amarok R-Style and was revealed at the 2013 Wörthersee Tour tuning event taking place in Austria, the same event where a hardcore VW GTI concept and lightweight Audi TT were also shown.
It features 22-inch alloy wheels, lowered springs and a wide-body kit. There are also plenty of carbon fibre accents and a chunky sports bar running across the back of the cab.
The headlights have also been dressed up with LEDs and the interior given a sporty look with a bespoke dash and centre console and carbon fibre detailing.
Power in this Amarok R-Style pickup comes from a 200kW/600Nm 3.0-litre V6 turbodiesel, replacing the production model’s 2.0 litre four. This, says VW, is enough for 0-100km/h acceleration of less than eight seconds.
