Pleasing Volkswagen fans at the annual VW-lovefest, the Volkswagen Amarok Power Concept was on hand to crank out 5,000-watts of booty-bumping beats. Running from the 28th-31st May 2014, the Wörthersee festival takes place on the banks of Lake Wörthersee in Austria and features everything cool in the VW-universe. Think of it as a European grand show for concepts, tuners, production surprises and VW culture.
The Volkswagen Amarok Power Concept was on hand, debuting looks and skills that would make most teens dance – poorly. The Volkswagen Amarok Power Concept is a tricked-out Amarok built up by Volkswagen specifically for this event. Every year, Volkswagen offers a few nuggets presented by their designers just for fun and an insight as to what the designers are thinking about.
Jeep does (or did) this for their Easter Jeep Safari too.
According to Volkswagen, “The load bed of the Amarok houses one of the loudest portable sound systems ever built. The centrepiece of the DJ equipment is an Allen & Heath Xone:92, with
Pioneer CDJ900NXS units used as input devices. Sound output comes via two VOID ACOUSTICS Impulse 3t speakers – designed specifically for Volkswagen’s acclaimed pick-up. A similarly adapted VOID ACOUSTICS Stasys Xair subwoofer ensures that the Amarok Power can accurately reproduce exceptionally high frequencies with no distortion.
The VOID ACOUSTICS mycro 6-loudspeakers used as monitors have been integrated into dedicated functional sound boxes while the VOID ACOUSTICS loudspeakers are driven by amplifiers from MC². All of the individual components have been designed in such a way that when assembled they perfectly fill the cargo bed of the Amarok.”
The Volkswagen Amarok Power Concept has a few additional goodies to finish off that urban look like:
- Chrome-plated twin tail pipes
- 22-inch alloys are painted in Gunmetal
- Bi-xenon headlights with chrome inserts
- Orange-painted brake calipers
- Black and orange Nappa leather
- Laser-etched seat fabric graphics
All I can say is: 5,000-watts is a LOT.
