AFTER A TEASER CAMPAIGN back in March (which suddenly feels a long time ago), Volkswagen has finally started accepting pre-orders for its most extravagantly accessorised Amarok, the limited edition Amarok V6 580S. The tongue-twisting V6 580S will go on sale in June priced from $70,990 (plus on road costs).
The highly specified Amarok V6 580S will offer new special features and equipment above the already impressive Amarok V6 Ultimate.
The V6 580S is instantly recognizable on the road with a body-coloured moulded styling bar, a roof mounted light bar with two 86-watt LED lamps, a premium roll cover and the option of signature Carbon Steel Grey metallic paint (Candy White and Deep Black Pearl effect colours also available). Inside, the Amarok V6 580S’s interior also stands out with special with ‘Art Velour’ seat trim and front heater seats.
Volkswagen Commercial Vehicles Australia National Marketing Manager, Mr. Nick Reid, was pleased to be offering such a unique iteration of the brand’s go-anywhere hero.
“Customers have always chosen the Amarok V6 for its power, off-road capability and domestic duty drivability, but one of the other aspects our customers have come to expect from the Amarok is just how well-kitted it is, in any spec,” Mr. Reid said.
“The Amarok V6 580S raises the bar yet again with a host of high-value special features that are not only practical, but lift the on-road presence of the most powerful ute in its class,” he continued.
Buyers had better be quick – the special Amarok model is limited to 200.
The Amarok V6 580S, like all Volkswagens, is offered with a five-year, unlimited kilometre warranty, capped price servicing every calendar year, and the additional option of pre-purchased three or five-year Service Care Packs.
