'Mean Green' Volvo Hybrid Transport Truck Drag Races a Ferrari [Video]
Can a Volvo transport truck beat a Ferrari in a drag race? Not unbelievable enough for you? Then let’s make the Volvo a hybrid too.
OK, so this Volvo isn’t exactly capable of hauling any loads down the Motorväg, but it still makes for an exciting comparo… or at least it did until we found out the Ferrari was “just” a 360. (Yea, we’re snobs).
Either way, Swedish racing legend Boije Ovebrink felt up to the challenge, lining up his hybrid Volvo truck, named ‘Mean Green’ against a Ferrari at the annual Trucking Festival in Mantorp, Sweden. Who won? Was it even close?
