We may never imagine if there is a truck that is able to break the speed record two at once. Hearing the name of a truck, was ringing its large, slow, heavy and certainly difficult to be invited to speeding. However, do not be surprised when confronted with the figure of Swedish-made trucks, Volvo VN. Truck driven by this Ovebrink Bojie, capable of breaking the speed record for a distance of 500 truck category, and 1000 meters with a stationary start. This record has been endorsed by the FIA racing world.
The record itself is calculated based on average speed around the track, and when crossing the finish line, capable of carrying the Volvo VN Ovebrink touching speeds of 250 km / h! Whereas the previous record printed in 2008, by a team with a record speed Buggyra only 170 km / hour.
Secrets of the record-breaking pace this time, of course not separated from the kitchen sector runway embedded by Volvo VN of this machine. Namely, the Volvo D16 engine, with a capacity 16.000cc and able to deliver power to 2,000 hp and torque of 5,000 Nm. Fabulous!
The phrase is also expressed excitement by Tommy Kohle, Senior Vice President, Corporate Communications, Volvo Trucks. According to him, breaking this record is a testament to the strength and quality of the original components of Volvo.
Uniquely, the record-breaking is performed in conjunction with the anniversary of the 59th Ovebrink. And he said, breaking the record this is the best way to celebrate a birthday.
Hmm, unique too? Anybody want to try using the truck speeding?
