Volkswagen marked the launch of the new Amarok truck in the UK market with a rather unusual demonstration, using four pickups to demolish a gigantic, 67-meter (220 feet) tall steel chimney weighing in at around 140 tons.

To complete a job that would normally have been done by a 40-ton excavator. However, four standard Amarok pickups has successfully completed, with four ropes.


The Amarok is equipped with the standard 2.0-liter TDI engine, capacity of 163 horsepower. The Amarok officially launches in Britain on May 9 as a four-door doublecab, with a starting price of £ 21,343 ($ 35,300).
