Did you just cut the epic crash you drove into?! I'm joking!!! Insane vid, I have to admit. A 100% pure skillful driving. I tried the FH16 750 bhp on its own (Hannover - Hamburg) and I managed to squeeze out 174 kph which is little above 100 mph. But, I'd imagine that the bast strech of road for testing is between Jonkoping & Sodertelje as you head towords Scania Headquarters. Keen to try it out.

indeed its not good for the engine, but I have seen some crazy engine mods all 9000 to 10,000HP,i might as well put warp engines on with that sort of horsepower plus you don't stay right side up for very long in some of the videos I have seen.
100mph in a 730 is good enough for me..
thanks for all your comments

I always try this every time I play. Admittedly the trucks often max out at 80-90mph when I have a trailer attached, but without one I can really get my FH16 moving. Here's some shots from a run I just did:

Image

Going North from Birmingham 100mph was fairly easy to achieve, but some hills slowed progress.

Image

When I tried the added challenge of driving in the oncoming lane, things didn't go so well...

Image

Once daylight returned, I gave it another try.

Image

But I reached 106mph before I ran out of road, which could be a new record for me.

Try finding your V-Max at the Scania Democentre, I guess 100 is do-able there. I'm gonna try that later :)
