Volvo Iron Knight, Possibly Record Breaking

[Barrett]

Hi all,

The Volvo Iron Knight was announced on the Volvo Truck YT and Website not too long ago. For the people who don't know; The Iron Knight is a completely custom built Volvo FH for one purpose, Breaking the record for the world's fastest high-speed truck.
Now there is about next to nothing in terms of pictures and videos, all is known is that the truck has 2,400 HP and is showcasing their series-built I-Shift Dual clutch trannybut everything else is totally custom built. There are a few pictures on the Volvo Trucks IG page, but there aren't any images of the whole truck.
There's also no doubt that the truck looks totally badass, the thing is like the Bugatti of trucks. I haven't seen anything remotely this cool from Volvo, and I'm actually excited for the day that it breaks the record.
Now my question is, do you guys think that there will be an Iron Knight themed paintjob available for ETS2? Do you guys think that the Iron Knight will actually become a functioning mod?
Will there be someone out there that will make this happen?

Actually, there is uh.. an 'image', I guess you could call it that, I mean.. technically speaking it is an image but it's not exactly a clear cut representation of it.

It does look very.. snazzy looking that's for sure. I wonder what the interior looks like. Very envious of Luke if his employer gives him one.

Also just to add on to it as not only Volvo is nearing the release of their next truck Scania also is going to be doing the same soon although this image is a right feckin' tease I tell ye that much mate haha:

Oh cool, build the worlds fastest truck and then engine limit it to 56mph by EU law. What a pointless endevour.

Iron Knight is not a ``NEW TRUCK`` it just a mod made by Volvo to take back attention from Scania NEW TRUCK release at 23.08.2016 and Iron Knight will be driving on 24.08.2016

Imma Volvo person but to me Iron Knight seems like FE cab on FH´s body its really wierd looking

If Volvo want to take attention away from from Scania, they could start by given permission to have the Range T in game. Then we can talk. (Has it really been almost a year since this was "news"?)

Iron Knight did brake 2 world records, not one, 0-500m and 0-1000m and it's top speed was record too, but they didn't measure that.

Very good point!

Another way to look at things in Ets and Ats life is pretty much like the real one....whats given in one hand is taken away from the other.
Hope this sheds some light.

no need to wait for a mod to drive at brake neck speeds.
i drive my bus and allsorts of vehicles past the 150mph to 250mph all the time.
this games platform lends itself to some oustanding driving experiences.

seriously tho.
paintjob for iron knight? yes there very well may be.
full custom truck? heres hoping.
i'd love to see some futuristic racing truck mods.
will anything like that be in the vanilla game?
no probably not.
as moh said, its unlikey that anything will be added above and beyond what a "normal" eu trucking sim would dictate.

"if you cant drive slow, drive safe."
"if you can drive safe, then, at least try to keep 2 wheels on the ground."

O.O
