Nope not a car, but the new Actros - seen one on the road this morning, on trade plates.

Now even if you are not into trucks, you've got to admit that this is one fine looking machine:

The engine is a 12.8 litre, 6 cylinder diesel kicking out 510 hp, through a 12 speed automatic gearbox.

There is more interior space than the Superb!!!

If it's got a DMF I don't want it

Love that!...

Wow looks great!

Had a play in one when we had one in last week at work. only pulling 10t, but it did make progress very well, a big leap forward.

Reminds me of one of the transformer badges....cant remember which one though but the grill and lights are placed about right

seen loads and sat in one at truckfest. looks big inside

Needs to go to Shark, Stage 3 remap me thinks

Babs will be along shortly to inform us it runs on the wrong fuel

It looks upset

A haulage place round here has a few trucks that are covered up with body bra's on and logoless.

it looks like one of those cardboard cuts outs that come in 2D and they you fold them up a bit and stick them together and you have a 3D version. In this case it looks like a Merc C class AMG63 or perhaps an SL version?

Does that make sense outside of my head?

Think they'd do CLK/SLk folding roof for the load area

ps just bought a 350cdi C Class saloon today (have a little wait till it comes). Great PCP deals at the mo and quite a lot cheaper than my A4!. Oh and an extra 25 ps and around 90 extra of your torxs

Looks really nice and really mean!! Imagine seeing that in your rear view mirror as you're driving along!!

Yep tis pretty smart looking, you would be somewhat startled to see that bearing down on you!!

You think the power figures are impressive @ 510 bhp, the torque figures are even better. Maximum torque @ ~1000 rpm is about 1900 lb ft

+1

Optimus Prime goes Tutonic

It runs on the wrong fuel!

And has a tiny little baby engine for the size of it!

Is there an AMG version?

Looks good for a truck. I've noticed Mercedes lately have had much more agressive front end and some do look ok.

Is there an AMG version?

Yeah let's go truck racing:

Ohh yummy,

If you don't mind, I'd love to see the terms of that on PM as I'm considering chopping in two cars for one.
