There was a time when the pickup truck was the battered and mud spattered companion of the farmer or small builder. Not to mention those good old boys from across the pond<\/a>.\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n

VAT loopholes and new improved spec saw its appeal widen, and VW launched their take on the genre<\/a> a good few years ago but the Amarok Power concept really shows how far these light commercial vehicles can move from their workhorse roots.<\/p>\n

At last year’s W\u00f6rthersee festival VW launched the first version of their one-off concept with a 3 litre V6 TDI engine which pushed the four wheel drive through its eight speed automatic box at sports car speeds, achieving 0-62 mph in 7.9 seconds.<\/p>\n
