This mighty russian truck is even more powerful than you might think. I has been lifted and its engine has been replaced with the V12 diesel engine from t-72, soviet’s main battle tank performing at 780 horsepower – or even higher. As they say – do not underestimate the true power of power. Interestingly, this car is owned by the same man, who has the only known MAZ-543P in private hands in Poland.
Update: Some sources mention, that this V-12 diesel engine has been upgraded with two MAZ turbos, now producing over 1000 HP.
