"184kW @ 2000 rpm and 960Nm @ 1200 rpm" power is a bit low but my god look at the torque

Do you do trialing for big boys? Those buggers will go up the side of a house.

27metre turning circle! It's a good job it'll drive straight over roundabouts.

2 reverse speeds!

Change up going backwards. Cool

Tatra 813

Handy for getting the car to the shows I suppose. Wish I had one. Doh!

S'pose you could use it for squashing LSIS's & Furore's!!

Thats cool!

that truck reminds of the virbrosis trucks used on land for geo physics.

they literally have rams that thump the truck up and down to make a sesimic signal that can be transmitted through the earth and reflected.

they weigh approx 30 tons!

cool, so then your using this to take the kids to school...

white van man will give one of these a wide berth MAYBE

Perfect for commutting in London were I work. Nothing would cut me up or get in the way and if they do just drive straight over them!!!!!!!!
