Volkswagen Commercial Vehicles has created a one-off version of the Amarok pickup truck for the musician Rudolf Schenker, called Scorpions. The body of the car is obviously dominated by a giant scorpion and other paintbrush elements, and it has an accessory never fitted to any car anywhere ever. It has an automatically extendible spike at the rear with 120 LED!
I thought rappers are insane when it comes to cars, but compare to rockers, they are actually quite sensible and have very good taste! But it’s kinda cool, no one ever tried to turn his into a scorpion before. And I guess Rudolf Schenker was a bit higher than usual when he though of this!
The car this scorpion is based on is an Amarok Highline in “Reflex Silver Metallic” with a 2.0-liter TDI engine and 163 H.P. The new Volkswagen pickup only consumes 7.6 liters of fuel per 100 kilometres, making it the most economical in its class.
Rudolf Schenker and his band are excited about their new car.
“This is the coolest motor I’ve ever seen, by a long, long way. It’s pure Rock`n`Roll on four wheels“, raved Schenker.“Our first reaction was that someone had gone off their rocker when they told us we were supposed to convert an Amarok into a scorpion”, says Dirk Seifried, Head of the technical Tools Manufacturing Service at Volkswagen in Braunschweig.
I made this guitar, as a special request from Rudolf Schenker’s personal assistant. I’m A friend of Rudolf, from Canada, and I “play” him in IN TRANCE, the greatest tribute to Scorpions. Check here for more: http://intrancescorpions.tripod.com/id24.html
This vehicle is fantastic. I have done quite a bit of work with VW performing at their functions, just this week I played at the Amarok launch and I am looking into purchasing one of these for myself. It’s an amazing vehicle, Volkswagen have definitely outdone themselves with this vehicle. As for the artwork…..I would love to have that on my vehicle!! And where can I get that VW guitar, would love one of those for my Volkswagen gigs?
