DAF 95 Turbotwin X1

The X1 features two 11.6-liter diesel engines mid-mounted in an aluminum space frame and triple turbocharged to produce 1200 horsepower and 3466 lb-ft of torque. Each. 2400 horsepower and almost 7000 lb-ft of torque made this 11-plus-ton truck good for 150 miles an hour (241.35 Km/h),

@1NuCCa1  Ok, good info !

[KennyC405]

Not sure what the max speed is here. But in those days there where no limits and restrictions.

DAF Turbo-Twin top speed was around 220 km/h, this clip is still and will always be my favourite Dakar moment.

@thierrykamette Because seeing human bodies ripped apart and scattered on the asphalt of a track or the sands of a desert is so much fun.
