Hybrid Volvo truck ’freight trains’ Ferrari Spider, stops the clocks first.
Swedish racing legend, Boije Ovebrink, is not afraid to challenge sports cars, exotics and other powerful vehicles with his drag racing hybrid truck, Mean Green. On August 27th, Overbrink and Mean Green, above, raced against a Ferrari Spider at the Trucking Festival in Mantorp, Sweden.
It was a fierce contest, with Overbrink’s converted Volvo VN truck - featuring the very latest hybrid technology - challenging a Ferrari driven by Henrik Appelholm. As you might expect, the Ferrari took the truck off the line, above, but Overbrink quickly caught up and Mean Green won.
"It was very close and I'm happy because now I know that my Volvo hybrid truck is as fast as a Ferrari," says a very happy Boije Ovebrink, left.
