How 'bout some foreigners?

The legendary DAF Turbo Twin. It had two (!) turbocharged 11.6 liter engines producing a total of 2400hp and 7000lb/ft (!!), good for 150mph runs across the desert (!!!):

...and a video:

Almost looks like there's no motor!

**special-K** · 04-12-2011, 08:19 AM

I've only seen those DAFs in the Paris-Dakar rally. I wonder if they are used for any actual work duty?
That turbine picture threw me way off! What the...? How's that thing moving??? LOL

Yukes!

There's a green Euclid parked outside a quarry just off of I-44 in Eureka, Missouri. It's been there for decades. One of these years when I pass by I need to stop and take some pics of it. I've thought it was so cool ever since I was a kid.
