Off-road-tough special edition 4WD double cab utes are all the rage in Australia. The latest comes from Volkswagen, celebrating its 2024 Guinness World Record with a special ‘Amarok 10 Deserts Edition’ inspired by the successful around-Australia pursuit of the same name and focused on the off-roading purist.
The Melbourne-designed Amarok completed an arc of Australia's 10 deserts in a record-breaking six days, 17 hours.
