Darkside Developments is back with an update on their unique Volkswagen Amarok project. The company replaced the factory 2.0 L TSI (CPPA) inline-four for a 6.0 L TDI V12 sourced from an Audi Q7. Darkside Developments knew the factory ML390 six-speed manual transmission would not be up to the task. So they swapped that for a Tremec T56 Magnum six-speed manual transmission using a Diesel Pump UK adapter and twin-plate clutch. In the video below the company upgrades the front shocks to some custom ones from Bilstein. They also installed a set of large Q7 V12 calipers and 420 mm carbon ceramic rotors.
