Delta4x4 Offers Up Aggressive Amarok

What do you get when you throw EUR 14,000 worth of wheels, tires and suspension at an Amarok?  According to German All-Terrain specialists Delta4x4, you get Mercedes G500 4×4² performance for a fraction of the money.  Utilizing a 5.5 inch lift and 35 inch tires (315/17/R17) fitted to beadlock wheels, Delta says that their Amarok can tackle anything in it’s path.  While it’s certainly no match for the G500 4×4²’s nearly 40-inch fording depth capability and insane approach and departure angles, it does make for a very nice package.

Check out more from Delta4x4 here, and read their full release below.

Mercedes has got the “G4x42” and Delta the VW Amarok Hutch2.

Delta4x4 has got the VW Amarok on Real BeadLock rims. Only the very best equipment is good enough for adventurers roaming the most inhospitable places in the world. BeadLock rims by Hutchinson give them that extra measure of mobility, grip and safety

It is common practice in dune bashing or mudding and in terrain with sand, mud and snow to lower the tire pressure to a minimum, to get the best grip through the tires’ crawl-effect when maneuvering through sand dunes, mud pits or snow drifts. But such attempts may fail in extreme situations when a tire detaches
from the rim and, as a result, can no longer hold air – leaving you between a rock and a hard place, so to speak.

The BeadLock technology takes care of this!

The tire is firmly attached to the rim with the use of an expansion ring, which keeps tire and rim tightly connected. This way the tire does not lose more air and guarantees the vehicle’s remaining mobility, even when there is tire damage.
The All-Terrain specialist delta4x4 with headquarters in Southern Germany
makes an 8.5×17 customized rim with tire options for customer’s choice, from a 265/65R17 BF Goodrich to a 285/75R17 Toyo Open Country – all the way to the 315/70R17 Monster Truck tire made by Mickey Thompson.

Delta offers these wheels for the VW Amarok along with parts certificates. The price for the complete package for Volkswagen Pick-Ups with 17×8.5 Hutchinson BeadLock rims, 265/65R17 BF Goodrich tires, Adapter and “Pocket Style” enlargements is around EUR 3,400. The 285/70R17 tires such as the Toyo Open Country with 40mm higher lift run about EUR 1,800 more for customization.

For the 315/70R17 Monster Truck tires by Mickey Thompson with a 140mm lift and Bilstein shock absorbers customers can expect to pay around Euro 14,000.

Review: Saying Goodbye to the CC V6

For all its size and its global reach, Volkswagen is still, in many ways, a deeply human company. There was, for instance, the Bugatti Veyron an ego project if ever there was one. Then the purchase of Ducati, a move most called folly. And then there was the Phaeton, the Volkswagen that most folks can’t afford. Not only were these moves all strange, I’m sure that they made VW’s accountants furious. None of them made good business sense, but they were all deeply interesting and they all are evidence of the heart that beats at the center of VW. Among these follies is the CC, a car that everyone agrees is rakishly handsome, but that no one really wanted to buy. The car couldn’t last, but the world is brighter for its having been in it. With the approach debut of the Arteon, it seems like a good time to look back on its sadly departing predecessor. The version I drove, because I live in Canada, is a V6 Wolfsburg Edition, which apparently isn’t available in the States. Nor is the V6, not as...

Volkswagen’s winning run ends after seven victories and 20 podiums in a row Power Stage victory: “El Cóndor” goes to Sébastien Ogier Eight of twelve stage wins – Polo R WRC sets the pace at the Rally Argentina Volkswagen Motorsport suffered a disappointing result at the fourth round of the FIA World Rally Championship (WRC), but still goes into the coming rally in Portugal leading the Manufacturer, Driver and Co-Driver standings in the World Championship.

More 3.0-Liter TDI Settlement Details Expected by January 31

Volkswagen and the TDI Plaintiff’s Steering Committee were in court today for another status conference following the agreement in principal reached earlier this week. Little new information was given at the conference held before Judge Charles Breyer today, but the court ordered the parties to develop a formal settlement agreement, class action notices, and a class notice plan by January 31, 2017. For now, though, owners still don’t know how much to expect in compensation. Elizabeth Cabraser, lead Counsel for the Plaintiff’s Steering Committee reaffirmed in a statement today that the compensation would be “substantial.” The potential cost to Volkswagen is widely reported to exceed $1 billion, though, with an additional $225 million going into an environmental trust to help offset excess emissions. Buy back offers are still only expected for the oldest 20,000 of the roughly 80,000 VW Group vehicles sold in America with the 3.0-liter TDI engine. Those vehicles are mostly SUVs, like ...
