|Video| Auto Talk: Volvo truck takes on a Ferrari in drag race

It seems these days everyone wants a piece of Ferrari, with countless sports car-makers gunning for Maranello’s territory. But Volvo? Volvo Trucks, no less?


Believe it or not, the latest drag race competition pitted a Volvo big-rig against a Ferrari 360 Spider. Of course it wasn’t just any old run-of-the-mill tractor, but the Mean Green hybrid racing truck. The beast packs a 16-liter twin-turbo engine that cranks out 1,900 horsepower and is further boosted by a 200hp electric motor.
