Mercedes Benz Actros 1861 LS Megaspace Black Edition

Hello,

here is something about one of the roughest and toughest European truck on the market. The Actros Black Edition is a special version of the normal Actros V8. (witch is also available as a V6) The 15,9 V8 diesel produces a 612 bhp and 2700 newtonmeter torque. ( I don't know how much that is in foot-pounds) The Black Edition has also a different exterior design as a normal Actros like a AMG style front bumper, chrome mesh grill, chrome rear-view mirrors, different sidefenders, and a full leather interior. Here is a link where the Actros is in comparison with a SLR McLaren! : http://www.autoblog.nl/archive/2007/...vs-slr-mclaren (this site is in a Dutch language and a movie in the German language) There are also pictures of it! Enjoy

Great vid!

Here's another one, Mike Ryan in action.

That's the OM501 twin turbo built by MB Truck Racing, with an estimated 1250 hp. The fuel economy is that not good during racing, though, about 2 MPG.
