Description
This price is for the Revo software only.
There are 3 different 3.0L engines in the Amarok with different horsepower ratings listed below. The gains for each engine are all the same with up to 340 PS and 720 Nm of torque. The 8 speed transmission is from the same family as the transmission used in the RS6, so it is more than capable of handling the extra power. Then end results are fantastic, for a big heavy truck it is fast.

3.0 TDI ENGINE
The new 3.0 V6 TDI common rail diesel engine in the Volkswagen Amarok offers greater refinement than the previous 2.0 BiTDi, with 224ps and 550NM as standard. Having our own daily driven 3.0 V6 VW Amarok development vehicle at Revo HQ (In addition to two previous BiTdi’s for good comparable data) has helped with understanding where improvements can be made, putting in thousands of miles on road and track. Testing products in this way is paramount; ensuring that with more useable power and torque still comes refinement and drive-ability, something only the driven demand.
For those driven by performance, Revo software offers a 170NM peak torque increase, with impressive gains throughout the entire rev range providing improved flexibility and greater towing capability in any gear, the engine feels more enthusiast and eager, reducing 0-100mph by nearly 10 seconds! Major markets for the Amarok include South America, Australia and New Zealand, with temperatures in these regions often exceeding anything seen in Europe. Testing through the Revo Global Development Programme allows us to consider these factors and include additional safety features such as Temperature Protection. This protects the engine from extreme temperatures, actively monitoring EGT’s (exhaust gas temperatures) and reducing power until temperatures return to a safe level.
