A Chinese company called Shacman now makes a 800hp V8 truck. Don't know much outside of that.

I was so excited when they started talking about bringing them to North America with the electronic E9. But then along came Volvo. 1 1 1 Quote Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/72828-new-engine-choices/page/2/#findComment-531506 Share on other sites More sharing options...
