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 is also announcing that they expect to make an S...

Watch: The Transport Does a Whole Hell of a lot More than Transport

Petrolicious doesn’t only feature million-dollar classics, it also features the more generally neat, like this 1996 T4 Transporter that became Instagram famous and started and is starting an empire. Callum Creaser’s T4 started life as a panel van, but over the years it has become a homebrew camper van that has gone on adventures around the world. After posting about his adventures to Instagram, the diesel van gained a following and launched The Rolling Home, a series about other people’s small spaces and homey cars. Based on a 1.4-liter diesel with no ECU, Callum says his T4 is easy as pie to work on since information is widely available from sources like ours.
