The German preparer MTM was inspired by American pick-ups and developed a unique proposal: a Volkswagen Amarok 4.2 TDI. All the power in "US fashion" combined with German quality.
From the most unlikely marriages, the happiest relationships emerge. MTM – one of the most reputable German tuning companies – decided to add “until a curve do them” the colossal 4.2 V8 TDI engine with Volkswagen Amarok. The result was a mix of power and work capacity, capable of facing the most powerful American proposals.
According to MTM, the Volkswagen Group's V8 TDI engine fits like a glove under Amarok's bonnet. If we take into account that this engine is capable of developing 410 hp of power and 930Nm of maximum torque, we get a pretty clear idea of the military potential of this German proposal.

The Volkswagen Amarok 4.2 TDI is capable of performance equivalent to a sports car, with an acceleration from 0 to 100km/h in about 6s and a top speed of 222km/h, which is notable if we keep in mind that the Amarok is as aerodynamic as a brick pallet.
Inside, the leather seats give way to Alcantara leather upholstery, with specific seams on the seats, giving a sportier touch to Amarok.
In order for Volkswagen Amarok not to suffer from chronic problems in terms of dynamic behavior, MTM was forced to introduce some changes, especially in the rear axle where the traditional layout of the axle supported by leaf springs gave way to a crossbar support cross, Panhard style, with pneumatic shock absorbers.

In a vehicle weighing around two tonnes and with more than 400hp, being able to brake safely is just as or more important when gaining speed, which is why MTM provided Amarok with 405mm brake discs, a record size in the class .
To enhance Amarok's more muscular look, we have magnificent 22-inch BBS SV wheels, equipped with colossal Michelin Latitude tires measuring 295/40ZR22. A proposal from MTM, which aims to make the dream of owning a pick-up with a massive engine come true. Able to combine the economy of a Diesel with doses of power worthy of a gasoline engine, it is a case of saying that it is even a pleasure to work that way. Stay with the video, which demonstrates how Amarok doesn't play around with her performance.
