Browsing scania site as my little boy likes to look at trucks and tractors etc(me too) Scania RB620 has a 16 litre v8 with 2212lb/ft torque! did not realise the power in these, although different to cars power etc!!:)

 

They need it when towing several ton trailers... they're quite nippy when not towing anything :D

One of the places I worked at designed bodies for coaches and stuff. They did the new shape airport firetenders and I saw the spec for that thing, it was awesome.

 

Fully laden it weighed 60 tonnes and had a 0-60 time of about 30 seconds. IIRC.

 

It was a 1000 horsepower 2-stroke Detroit deisel.

 

The first thing that I thought was - "fook, imagine the bring-ding-ding noise from a 1000hp 2-stroke"
