Those trucks are awsome and they are not garbage trucks by any means. Unicat in Europe (http://www.unicat.net/) has been building such monsters for years. Some of them are race prepped and take part in the Dakar Rallye, imagine one of those hauling arse at 100 mph across the desert

Anyway, this particular one is a MAN TGA 6x6, the engine performance is 353 kW/480 hp, and it has a ZF 12-speed tip-matic transmission. The GVWR is 43,860 lbs and it sold for around 840,000 Euros... Chump change Here are some more pics:

Looking back toward the Living Room (notice the expresso machine)


They started to branch off here in the US and they have their website www.unicatamericas.com. They are using the International platform but it doesn't seem to be as popular as the cab forward truck (better visibility) the Europeans are using.

As I posted in the other thread, another cool one is www.maximog.com Built by Unicat.
