The KAMAZ Master Truck Drives Through Anything | Best of POV

The iconic Kamaz truck is the undisputed King of the Dakar, with close to still capable of hitting jumps! Nothing can stop this massive truck, take a ride on-board in three POVs that we’ve selected for you. Out of all the categories at the Dakar, the truck class has to be the most spectacular. The Kamaz Master truck is one of the frontrunners, and it’s like nothing else we’ve ever seen. If you thought 300-plus horsepower in a space-framed Mini sounded impressive, the Kamaz’s 1,150bhp is on a completely different level, with the truck putting out close to 10 times the power of a regular family hatchback. Developing such power is no simple task, and the Kamaz has a huge 13-litre six-cylinder turbocharged engine crammed under the hood. Everything about the Kamaz truck is big. Take those huge wheels – they weigh a colossal 150kg each, turning even relatively simple tasks like changing a wheel into something a lot more demanding. Overall, the Kamaz weighs in at 9.5 tons, but unlike regular trucks, it also boasts an ideal 50:50 weight distribution, which is perfect for handling. The Kamaz’s 13-litre Dongfeng Cummins engine runs on diesel, and it can drink up to 200 litres of fuel per 100km when pushed to its maximum. It’s enough to necessitate a truly massive 1,000 litre fuel tank, which is situated over the rear wheels to help achieve that perfect 50:50 weight distribution. A machine weighing the best part of 10 tons, with a huge amount of power and set to tackle the world’s most demanding terrain needs every bit of help it can get when it comes to traction, so it’s little surprise to see that the Kamaz Master truck is four-wheel drive. ______ Experience the world of Red Bull Motorsports like you have never seen it before.
