That was good fun to watch particularly passing the X5. I bet it was icy cold too so good for lots of high density boosting. No smoke too from the TDi - well tuned Darkside Developments.

[@bencrosbie]

Amarok is no ordinary farm truck that thing is absolutely crazy! :O

[@leenorris1082]

Considering it's completely out of it's natural habitat the upgrades and mods are impressive as is the body control through the corners it's very well set up hardly any noticeable body roll or understeer, very impressive for a truck top work lads!

[@matteightytwo]

Spot on. That car is so far outside its normal comfort zone but is coping so well, some incredible work/development there

[@adrianmeredith6818]

Just fantastic workmanship to tune the vehicle this way, and obviously great driver skills on track

[@weSteh]

My favourite channel atm 👍

[@6mindcrime6]

Love it!! Just got my v6 rok remapped yesterday at 328bhp. Its a beast now. If i lived in the UK you def. would be the one who tuned it! Im from the netherlands so tad far away lol!

[@jamesbarker1399]

Time for Misha to do a lap on the ring maybe lads?😂

[@SpicyBlimp]

Turn on spot metering on your gopros for interior footage :)

[@Everything_Evan]

Bet that X5 owner was well annoyed being overtaken by a pickup truck 😆

[@richardhunt1384]

Hope you gave the X5 owner a card and said to come see you guys Ryan!!!! 😁😁

[@peterbalac1915]

Most people get pissed off when you overtake them in a pickup, most are prepared to kill themselves or someone else to get back in front of you.

[@MrCukydoh]

probs a stock M50d.....

[@dabysk6271]

All he needs to do is to became a Darkside costumer .. haha They will make his x5 faster than the Amarok.

[@danielclare2344]

That’s a weapon !!! Love what yous do .

[@zizogaucho9035]

Still have the adbleu system, and probably all the other anti pollution systems aswell, and yet faster than a x5 lol. Good job by Darkside 👏

[@jackturnerdrone]

Absolutely awesome, 1 suggestion I do have is to lock the exposure on your in car cam, make sure you tap the windscreen to set it to expose to the outside then lock it 👍

[@DarksideDevelopments]

It kept resetting!

[@jackturnerdrone]

@@DarksideDevelopments Ah that's bloody annoying

[@davespooney8472]

So this is why I had a bloody Amarok glued to me back bumper getting out of Halifax. Didn’t move an inch from me so guessing he was backing off 👍

[@thedetailingdoctor5746]

Good on ya lads keep it up epic work as always. Just proves the safety and reliability of your maps when you can beat round a track and still have egts and emps in check 👍

[@VampyrMygg]

They use the Amarok as ambulances over here in Norway, put the whole box on the back, it seems to do fine even with added weight. :P

[@99unclebob]

Amazing what a 2 ton truck can do on track , just goes to show that VW builds all their vehicles to handle all crazy kinds of conditions and roads. 👍

[@jimmyfarley5581]

Yes but understand that this Amarok isn't at all standard. There's nothing VW with regards to suspension, geometry, brakes, power etc. The VW parts are the body and the badge. The rest is completely changed. Making your comment somewhat redundant.

[@99unclebob]

@@jimmyfarley5581 what are you an expert, it is a simple comment i have 40 us in the industry and speak from experience

[@jimmyfarley5581]

@@99unclebob so VW produces a 400 bhp Amarok that handles well enough to keep sport cars honest? No it doesn't! Your gushing comment that stated it was a car lovingly built by VW is utter nonsense. "VW know how to build a car for road and track ". Blah, blah. It's not standard VW! your so called experience is clearly delusional. Good night.

[@PiOfficial]

@@jimmyfarley5581 it’s a vw engine though.

[@craigj2483]

As a massive fan of pickup's i'm happy to see an absolute weapon of a truck. Be interesting to see what you guys can do with the Ranger

[@PiOfficial]

Probably not as much

Hello all. I wanted to know if you can push is more or are there some stock parts that would not keep up?

[@DarksideDevelopments]

Most we've had from them is 431hp - www.darksidedevelopments.co.uk/vw-amarok-ddxc-3-0-tdi-cr-szg-zf-8hp-8-speed-automatic-431bhp-660ft-lbs/ Not tried anything further than this yet

[@ShalomBrother]

If it was on some decent tyres it’d be a bit of a weapon that!

[@DerbJd]

Jesus, you got a light bar switched on full blast? It's like you're racing into the Abyss!

[@UngluckInc]

They didn't have the gopro on spot. so it would catch the brighter light outside and not try to focus on the closer darker interior.

[@DarksideDevelopments]

It kept resetting!

[@RE-RotaryExperiment]

I did 140kms in my stock Passat TDi Wagon and averaged 17lt/100kms on my last track day. Never missed a beat and raised a few eyebrows. Would have been even better if you could put a decent wheel alignment on it. ✊ TDi FTW

[@DarksideDevelopments]

Needs more camber

[@RE-RotaryExperiment]

@@DarksideDevelopments my aligner said that the Passat has next to no adjustment. MY13 2012. Is that true?

[@DarksideDevelopments]

You can only nudge the subframes around really, top mounts required for more!

[@RE-RotaryExperiment]

@@DarksideDevelopments thanks for the tip. Love your work 🌏🐨🇦🇺

Can the manual Amarok Gearbox handle that much power?

[@DarksideDevelopments]

We don't have many here, only one way to find out!

Ryan did you used to be a biker? Fairly leaning into those corners 😂😂

They are from a Range Rover :)

@@DarksideDevelopments great thank you, and they go straight on ?

[@DarksideDevelopments]

with small spacers I believe!

Are the electrical modules of the Amarok PQ or MQB

[@DarksideDevelopments]

I'd have to check but it's more like the older cars IIRC

[@alexthetrucker8168]

First....keep up the good work lads!

[@neamtialin]

How much for the car?

[@DarksideDevelopments]

You need to ask the owner!

[@thefamilyrobbo]

Ok. With 400bhp, even a 2 tonne truck is going to be quick in a straight line but how the hell does something on cart springs get round corners like that? The old hairpin isn't for the faint hearted either.🤭 I hope you asked the owner's permission 😀😀

[@DarksideDevelopments]

Keith gave permission! It was quite a shock, maybe driver skill? Haha

[@-DC-]

That is hilarious 😂 .

[@UngluckInc]

Not a weapon, but def very cool.
