Volkswagen cleverly manages to escape the violation of advertising code of conduct by highlighting its latest model Amarok V6 ultimate 580 with a behind the scenes ute ad.

The campaign titled 'Too Powerful for TV' conceptualised by DDB Sydney features British director, austere safety officer showcasing what Aussie car manufacturers have struggled to for years.

It builds on the previous Amarok campaigns from DDB Sydney, The Naked Ute and Korama, which were also all about leaning into the problem.
