You don't see these on me road every day! Pictured at the
recent 17th International Transport and Logistics Exhibition in Paris, this is one of two identical Scania 124c 6x6s supplied to the organisers of this year's Paris-Dakar rally, held in January. Capable of an amazing 160km/h, the highground-clearance units fairly bristle with extra features to help survive the gruelling 19day,10.600km event where they
will provide support for competing vehicles.
These include a supercharged 530hp engine, heavyduty suspension, 1000-litre fuel capacity, spotlights, roll bars, reinforced bumper, Recaro sports seats, Michelin 14.00R20 sand tyres, four roof mounted spare wheels, a
generator and air compressor. So successful were they that three more will be supplied for next year's event.
