This the the VW Amarok Power Pick-Up concept car. After the 496bhp Golf GTI 'Design Vision', Seat racers, Skoda Rapid Sport and Audi's stripped TTS, you'd have been forgiven for thinking we'd seen the last of 2013's tuned VWs, but instead we've got an Amarok that'll hit 62mph in just 7.9sec. What gives the VW Amarok Power Pick-Up its, erm, ...

This is VW's latest SUV concept: the CrossBlue Coupe. If the name sounds familiar, you'll remember it from the CrossBlue concept SUV we saw at the Detroit motor show back in January 2013. This car is lower, and boasts sportier detailing. It's not a true coupe (despite how VW badges it) but it does preview the look of a sporty SUV ...

Hang on - nearly £26k for a VW Golf GTI is a bit steep, isn't it?  Actually, it's better value than the old Mk6 Golf GTI. For a ...

Each punter will have to put up around €100,000 for the privilege of saving money on fuel – but don’t worry, because every car across the VW Group will benefit from ...

VW supremo Ferdinand Piech has kept his promise of putting the XL1 super-eco car into production.
