Volvo Trucks’ The Iron Knight is the world’s fastest truck – twice over. What allowed Boije Ovebrink to break his own record, was a custom-built super truck with a D13 engine and the series-manufactured I-Shift Dual Clutch transmission.

This truck has a mind boggling array of specs, 2400 hp (1789 Kw), 6000 Nm of torque and a 0-100 time of 4.6 seconds. With those sorts of number on a 4500kg machine, you now have power to weight ratios similar to the McLaren P1. Its a pretty slick looking truck and it sounds amazing too.

It started at a young age with bedroom posters, the Countach of course. This slowly grew into a super car die-cast model collection, fifty five 1:18 models at the last count. At which point it had almost taken full control, the incurable Mad Car Disease ran deep though my veins all the way to the bone. And things for my loved ones just got worse as the cars where now being bought at 1:1 scale, after a BMW, HSV, and couple of Audi's, the disease reached my brain, pushing me over the edge and down the rabbits hole into the world of the bedroom poster.
