Isuzu UK has revealed the striking new D-Max Fury special edition, with a range of exterior tweaks aimed at beefing up the pick-up's kerb appeal.

Touching down in the UK in early 2019, the Fury sports 'Magma Red' paint, 18-inch darkened alloys and a dark grey grille with red Isuzu badging. There's gun metal-grey side steps, black mirrors and door handles and Fury graphics, too.

Inside, the grey interior gets red stitching, and there are Fury-stamped floor mats, while an extra 1000 pounds ($1846) will buy you a red-and-black leather trim. Air-conditioning, a reversing camera, a CD player and USB ports in the rear arrive as standard, too, along with a 7.0-inch colour touchscreen in the dash.

Sadly, though, there's been no extra fury added under the bonnet, with the special edition D-Max still powered by a 3.0-litre turbo-diesel engine good for 130kW/430Nm. It's paired with a six-speed automatic transmission or six-speed manual gearbox.

It's a powertrain geared for hauling rather than out-and-out performance, and so the D-Max will still tow up to 3.5 tonnes, and carry a maximum 1136kg.

There's no word yet on whether the Fury will make it to Australia, so watch this space.

Should the Fury make it to Australia? Tell us in the comments below.

Andrew Chesterton should probably hate cars. From his hail-damaged Camira that looked like it had spent a hard life parked at the end of Tiger Woods' personal driving range, to the Nissan Pulsar Reebok that shook like it was possessed by a particularly mean-spirited demon every time he dared push past 40km/h, his personal car history isn't exactly littered with gold. But that seemingly endless procession of rust-savaged hate machines taught him something even more important; that cars are more than a collection of nuts, bolts and petrol. They're your ticket to freedom, a way to unlock incredible experiences, rolling invitations to incredible adventures. They have soul. And so, somehow, the car bug still bit. And it bit hard. When "Chesto" started his journalism career with News Ltd's Sunday and Daily Telegraph newspapers, he covered just about everything, from business to real estate, courts to crime, before settling into state political reporting at NSW Parliament House. But the automotive world's siren song soon sounded again, and he begged anyone who would listen for the opportunity to write about cars. Eventually they listened, and his career since has seen him filing car news, reviews and features for TopGear, Wheels, Motor and, of course, CarsGuide, as well as many, many others. More than a decade later, and the car bug is yet to relinquish its toothy grip. And if you ask Chesto, he thinks it never will.
