That COE design is a rough riding SOB. I'd hate to drive that at speed across the desert.

Only American COEs ride rough, European and Japanese truck manufacturers know how to build COEs  :lol_hitting:

That is a DAF with two 11.6 L diesel engines and six turbos, in final configuration it was in excess of 1200hp. Legend says Ari Vatanen, being passed in the video, threatened to leave the Peugeot works team if they did not protest against the DAF Team for interfering the car class.
