Volvo Trucks reset its own two year-old record for heavy trucks with shockingly fast speed runs by its latest track-focused creation, the "Iron Knight." This bone-white big rig blasted to 60 mph in just 4.6 seconds thanks to its unbelievable 2,400 horsepower.
The Swedes have no history of racing quarter horses for a quarter mile, so they timed the Iron Knight from a standstill to 500 meters and 1,000 meters, which it reached in 13.71 and 21.29 seconds, respectively.
The rapid hauler was going 82 mph at the 500-meter mark and 105 mph after 1,000 meters. It topped out at 172 mph.
This kind of dual-clutch transmission effectively uses two separate gear trains, one for odd-numbered gears and one for even, with the clutch powering one releasing just the the one powering the other clamps down, providing seamless gear changes. Porsche's PDK is the best-known example among enthusiast drivers.
The Iron Knight can be summarized in one single word: perfection," declared driver Boije Ovebrink. "It's beautiful to look at and is an unparalleled powerhouse when you floor the accelerator."
The world record run was carried out at a closed-off test track in northern Sweden. The new records are being reviewed by the FIA, the international motor sport association for certification.
Whether they are approved or not, we have a feeling Volvo will return for still more records in the future.
