Power-Pickup, which gets added storage and a 3.0-liter V6 TDI with 268hp and 443lb-ft of torque. 

The concept of the truck is to be a rolling workshop for race teams that can get anywhere quickly. In its added storage areas it can carry spare parts, tools and other racing equipment. The upgraded engine allows it to accelerate to 100km/h in 7.9 seconds with an eight-speed automatic and 4MOTION all-wheel drive. The suspension has been dropped by 80mm.

Volkswagen also added 22in wheels, bi-xenon headlights, chrome trim, chrome grill, larger lower air intake, carbon fiber rear diffuser and dual exhausts. Inside, the seats are covered with Nubuck leather, and there is an 8in touchscreen with a 500w subwoofer. 

Like most of the cars VW presented at Wörthersee, the Power-Pickup is just a concept, and VW has not plans to put it into production.
