Mercedes Actros vs Scania R500 - DRAG RACE & 44 Ton BRAKE TEST!

.............................................................

It’s the drag race you didn’t know you needed… Until today!

Mat’s in a Mercedes Actros, with a huge 10.7-litre engine that produces 480hp! Alongside him, we’ve got Yianni, who’s in the Scania R500, with an epic 13-litre engine that’ll put down 500hp!!

It’s the first time both Mat and Yianni have driven a HGV, and given how they’re so evenly powered, this one is too close to call… And just wait until they add the trailers on as well!

8:25 1 mph difference is just enough for a lorry driver to start an overtake that is going to last for the next 20 miles

The drag race nobody asked for but everybody wanted

When you were towing, I notice the load cover was deployed on the Scania, opposed to an open load for the Merc. I still reckon the Merc would have got trounced but the Merc must have had increased drag imposed on it. But it helped with braking.

Let's just appreciate Daniel for lending them the lorrys, and giving us a magnificent race.

Seeing them in trucks make me want to see different vehicle races like buses, bikes, motor bike and all sorts of bizarre stuff

[PhiLoSoPheR_NonSenSe]

How did the respective companies react to this race? I'm dying to know! Very entertaining and informative! Thanks so much for making my day as always!

[thulanimoagi]

These drag races get crazier and crazier and I'm loving it😂😂

How could you not talk torque figures with a 10.7L diesel!!

The thing has over 2000NM, huge torque!

These guys are the new Top gear... love the chemistry Matt and Yanni have on video. Their competitiveness is hilarious.

As a UPS truck driver in the USA, I found this entertaining as all hell!
