Those side-exit exhaust pipes are almost as cool as under-the-door side pipes. Almost.
Two versions are available over the ditch, the base W580 and the upspecced 580S, which adds branded tips, LED fog lights, a styling bar, more decals, Vienna leather interior seats with Walkinshaw head restraint branding and a custom twin exhaust system with side pipes at the rear wheels and branded tips.
Despite the extra kit, the 3.0-litre turbodiesel V6 is untouched, making the same 200kW/580Nm (on overboost) as other 580 Amarok models.That’s understandable as tweaking the engine would have added more development time to the truck and the base powerplant is still well up on competitors like the Ranger Raptor, which makes 157kW/500Nm.
