125 CSL Posted March 29, 2017 Report Share Posted March 29, 2017 http://www.volvotrucks.com/en-om/news/press-release.html?pubid=20836 Factory build for speed records. Volvo Trucks' The Iron Knight, driven by Boije Ovebrink, now holds the official speed records for the 500- and-1000 metre distances. During their work on the truck, an expert team from Volvo Trucks found innovative ways of uniting technology with design."This shows that our I-Shift Dual Clutch transmission has enormous potential and that it does not let you down under extreme conditions. The fact that the world record-breaker uses the very same gearbox that is found in our series-built FH trucks is something that we're really proud of," says Claes Nilsson, President and CEO of Volvo Trucks.With an average speed of 169 km/h and a time of 21.29 seconds, The Iron Knight beat the international speed record for 1000 metres from a standing start. It also beat the corresponding record for the 500-metre distance, at 131.29 km/h and 13.71 seconds. The Iron Knight - a record-breaking truck - With 2400 hp, 6000 Nm of torque and weighing 4.5 tonnes, The Iron Knight has a power-to-weight ratio above 0.5 hp/kg.- The mid-mounted engine is a significantly modified D13 unit with water-cooled intercooler and four turbochargers.- The I-Shift Dual Clutch transmission maintains torque delivery during gear changes. Apart from a reinforced clutch (the discs and pressure plates are made of a sintered material), The Iron Knight uses the same gearbox that is fitted to series-manufactured Volvo FH trucks.- Electronics kept to a minimum to lower the vehicle's weight.- The software has been re-programmed to permit the high performance.- The cab is aerodynamically optimised, made of fibreglass. The side-skirts have large air intakes to supply the engine with cooling air.- During the record runs The Iron Knight reached a top speed of 276 km/h. 2400hp, hmmm, this would be a fun test drive. 2 Quote Link to comment

VFR800 Posted March 30, 2017 Report Share Posted March 30, 2017 Early prototype for a Fridolin (Type 147) van. The German postal service commissioned VW to come up with a vehicle suitable to their needs in 1962. Production started in 1964 and by July 1974 6,139 had been produced with 200 in preservation. 4 Quote Link to comment
