we have had them in Europe for a couple years now

Also Scania make an amazing V8 with 750hp, they do supply engines aswell.

Its proof you can have immense power and fuel efficiency.

Check out the UK site or Volvo Trucks

volvo does have the 16 litre engine here, but they only crank it up to 550hp. id be willing to bet its the same engine they turn up to 750hp over there. just like how you can get a c16 cat here thats putting out 700hp or better. i know a guy who sent out a c15 to be punched out to a c18 bulldozer engine, for his race truck. it feels like it wants to lift a wheel off the ground at an idle!
