Say hello to an animal like no other. Trained in collaboration with the experts at Walkinshaw, the new Amarok V6 W‑Series is an aggressive, high-performance beast with an unbreakable spirit. Reared to rule the road, this enhanced Amarok is a force to be reckoned with.
Synonymous with success both on and off the track, Walkinshaw took the tough Amarok V6 ladder chassis and created a true performance machine. Tuned as a GT, the Amarok V6 W‑Series delivers an exhilarating drive experience on all fronts.
Aggressively styled to reflect its abilities, the Amarok V6 W‑Series earns itself an all-new front grille, wheel arch flare extensions, molded sports bars and custom forged 20” Clayton alloy wheels. If that wasn’t enough, the unique decals and Walkinshaw branding is there to let people know it’s in a class of its own.
The Amarok V6 W‑Series might be wild at heart but on the road it’s as focused as they come. Engineered with superior steering, a retuned GT suspension and large Pirelli Scorpion ATR tyres, you’ll find perfect balance wherever the road takes you.

- Electronic Stability Program (ESP) and off-road ABSElectronic Stability Program (ESP) and off-road ABSControlled power
Experience complete control with the Amarok V6 W‑Series built-in Electronic Stabilisation Programme. Trained to prevent understeer or oversteer, the ESP kicks in if you start to skid, helping to apply the brakes to individual wheels and adjusting the engine’s power output to correct the problem.
When new paths need to be forged and you head off-road, the ABS can reduce the stopping distance on loose surfaces at the press of a button. When this is activated, the wheels lock up in a controlled manner so that gravel or sand from the ground build up in front of each wheel, reducing the stopping distance.5
- Multi-collision brakeMulti-collision brakeA protective nature
The Multi-Collision Brake system applies the brakes to slow the vehicle to 10km/h when airbag sensors detect a collision, so that a secondary impact will be lessened or avoided. During braking, the hazard and brake lights are illuminated and remain activated. The driver can take over at any time.5
- Trailer StabilisationTrailer StabilisationSteady as you go
Trailer Stabilisation complements the Electronic Stabilisation Program. If your trailer starts to fluctuate heavily, the system slows it down through controlled braking and reduced engine torque – steadying the trailer and increasing driving safety.5
Ben Porter, Volkswagen Drive Instructor and GT Race Driver, talks us through how Walkinshaw teamed up with Volkswagen to create this performance powerhouse.
Here to kick things up a gear.
The Amarok V6 W580 is a powerful performer that’s hard to beat. It’s been engineered by leading automotive performance engineers to go from strength to strength on the road.
Set to rule the road, its dynamic performance is seen up front in the raised spring platform and a new, larger shock absorber tuned by the Walkinshaw chassis engineers for a more focused and direct handling experience.
Out the back, you’ll find a performance-tuned twin exhaust which has been added for maximum impact.
A larger Pirelli Scorpion ATR tyre gives the perfect balance of all-season tarmac and gravel road performance.
They might be reared for the road, but their suspension has been tuned to tackle any terrain. The 3,500kg Braked Towing Capacity means you don’t have to be shy when you load them up either.
