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.

2018 Lamborghini Aventador S Roadster Review

“Supercars just don’t excite me anymore.” These words, spoken to me over a month ago by another journalist, friend, and (so-called) enthusiast were echoing in my head for far too long, but they’ve finally been drowned out. Drowned out by the wail of a naturally aspirated 6.5-liter V12 engine mounted in the middle of the new Lamborghini Aventador S Roadster. My friend’s point is that back in the good old days, there was a crop of supercars that captured the imagination with amazing style, sounds, performance, and more. Today, it seems like everything is capable of supercar performance, with large luxury sedans outdoing some of the best and most dedicated teams of car nuts, while former pillars of automotive excellence are suddenly pumping out family-friendly SUVs. Beyond that, another league of supercars, dubbed hypercars have cropped up with hybrid gas-electric powertrains that make magical things happen quickly, but at the cost of the acoustic drama, visual flair, and engag...

Project SportWagen: Going Stage 2 with APR

    When we last left you, the humble little SportWagen was fresh from the development process with our friends at AWE Tuning, sporting a new downpipe, exhaust and intake, allowing things to breathe a bit easier.  The car sounded great, but there was no getting around the fact that our wagon was still quite, well, slow.   While we realize that nothing we do to the Golf SportWagen at this point will make it a race car, we still felt compelled to do something .  To put it bluntly, we had a fever, and the only cure was more power. Flash forward a few hours, and we found ourselves at Waterfest, staring down APR’s palatial spread and the numerous tuned vehicles surrounding it.  Earlier in the year, APR had hinted to us that their 1.8 TSI files would be quite impressive, and based on what they were able to do with the 2.0 TSI found in the new GTI and our time in their Golf R, we knew it’d be worth the wait.  So with this in mind, we lined our G...

Project Golf SportWagen- Intro

I’ve never really been one for SUVs and crossovers.  The current offerings aren’t the body-on-frame, go-anywhere specialty tools I remember from my youth, and what they lack in capability, they also lack in on-road performance. The current crop isn’t terribly good at handling or being efficient, which in my opinion are major components of our ideal driving experience.  So when it comes to space or utility, I usually look for something of the wagon variety- and it seems that I’m not alone. We hit quite a few shows around the east coast each summer, and we see modified Jetta SportWagens at nearly every event. Even amongst common consumers, these cars are highly sought-after. They don’t depreciate much, making even early Mk 5 2.5 versions expensive in comparison to other Jettas or Golfs of the same vintage. This year, Volkswagen launched their latest SportWagen, which is now billed as a Golf.  In many ways, this latest SportWagen is the best yet and it has certai...
