Most utes are built to leave the road behind, but what about the road ahead? The Amarok W600 is engineered to take you on the ultimate drive. Precision-tuned for on-road driving yet every bit the ute you need when adventure calls.
Engineered for performance
Walkinshaw twin exhaust system
Australian-developed and precision tuned, the Amarok W600 delivers control you can feel. A bespoke suspension system developed in partnership with KONI keeps the chassis composed, while Michelin Pilot Sport 4 tyres stay locked to the road. The small details matter as well, twin side-exit exhausts featuring Walkinshaw engraving deliver a soundtrack worthy of a true performance ute.
Tuned for balance and control
Michelin Pilot Sport 4 tyres
Michelin tyres and a bespoke KONI suspension system developed with Walkinshaw work together to keep the Amarok settled and composed through corners. The addition of a rear anti-roll bar sharpens balance and control, delivering confidence you feel instantly — even when the road isn't playing nice.

Designed with intent
It looks this way because it drives this way. Every detail is a direct response to the mechanics underneath. Here, engineering and design meet as the ultimate expression of a performance ute built for the driver.
How it's made
Built in partnership with Walkinshaw, every Amarok begins as a specially prepared W600 base vehicle before undergoing a full local transformation. From there, it's shaped through hands-on engineering, detailed tuning and real-world testing. Follow the journey from factory build to fully realised performance ute.
The making of a legend
Where it begins
It starts on the production line in South Africa. From there, each Amarok makes its way to Australia, arriving in Port Melbourne before heading to Walkinshaw in Dandenong South. What rolls in is complete, but it's only the beginning.
Engineered for Australia
Refined through testing
Before anything is added, every vehicle is put under the microscope. Full inspection, local road testing and real-world evaluation reveal exactly where it can be refined. From here, every decision is shaped by how it performs on Australian roads.
Tuning for performance
Built and fitted by hand
This is where power is perfected. Each Amarok is individually assembled with the W600 package which includes upgrades across chassis, design and function. Tuning at Lang Lang sharpens control and confidence, while exhaust and styling enhancements lift both sound and presence.
Refined by the experts
Tested as one
Power is only part of the story. What matters is how it's delivered. Every change goes through multiple rounds of testing, from controlled engineering environments to proving grounds and real-world road loops. This makes sure each component works together as one cohesive system. Before sign-off, every vehicle is combed over and checked by the Walkinshaw quality team.
Ready for the road
Now it's up to you
With testing complete, each Amarok is cleared for the road ahead. Final checks ensure everything is exactly as it should be before it reaches your Volkswagen dealer, so when you step in, it's ready to perform from the first turn of the wheel.
