And from what I have seen so far, the Volkswagen Amarok is no exception. I really, really like this pickup, and I am not usually a fan of pickup trucks. It’s such a fantastic-looking vehicle, and even before the release date there were probably people clamouring for Aviva car insurance quotes in advance of being able to own one. Volkswagen have really outdone themselves with the Amarok, and I couldn’t be more excited to see it come out.

This is one of the very first official pictures of Volkswagen’s new pickup. It is the production version of VW’s original SAR — the Search and Rescue concept, which was revealed in Hanover last year.

It is designed to reflect VW’s design aesthetic, especially by way of the styling in front. The truck is going to be built in Buenos Aires, at VW’s South American Factory.

HS Motorsport, a popular German performance company, is hot on Volkswagen Scirocco’s heels as it releases its own version of the popular sports car. HS Motorsport has been tuning Volks for a long time now and has made strong partnerships with hot-shot firms like Cargraphic, Hamann, and Brembo.

The existing, and most powerful to date, VW Scirocco model produces 200HP with its 2.0L turbo engine. HS Motorsport pumped it up to 320HP along with its best Remis package. The revamped Scirocco accelerates at 0-100km/km in 6.6 seconds with a top speed of 242km/h.

New sports exhausts systems, customized ECU, and upgraded turbocharger system are only a few of the methods that made the Scirocco even faster. HS Motorsport also added lowered springs, stainless steel mufflers and brand new 20inch wheels. The new brakes are courtesy of Brembo.

Of course, in order to make the faster and meaner Scirocco, HS Motorsport gave it a smashing new bodykit inclusive of carbon-fiber front spoilers, rear spoiler extension, and side skirts, along with the Recaro bucket seats and customized upholstery made of leather.

The VW Scirocco appears to be the favorite among tuners. ABT Sportline, the one who gave the VW model the meanest exterior, as well as Oettinger and MTM have also taken their share in making the Scirocco as smashing Beetle.
