have a look at
www.raredog.dk It's the website from Morten Johansen. He drive a C304 with Diesel OM6... I#ve seen an drove the Car. It works, for offroad-tous I think perfekt, but on the road you'll run no faster than 70 km/h. by the way: Very nice Car !!! Congratulations !!! der Harms | ||||

I am really hoping with the overdrive transmission, bigger tires, and possibly a new ring gear and pinion gear sets that I can get a decent speed.
I am mostly wondering suspension and comfort cruising wise if it can be build to be a safe vehicle to drive at highway speeds 55mph-65mph I guess we will see how it turns out! | ||||

The (back then) Danish distributor of both Volvo & Jaguar, Ole Sommer, once proposed/offered a set of 2x C306/6x6/LWB firetrucks for Copenhagen Airport, with a top speed of 160km/h (and 0-80km/h in 14s, IIRC). The proposed engine, guess what, was a Jaguar V12 5.3L, 287HP....:)) Sadly no details were preserved about the transmission (other than being automatic, presumably also Jaguar), or at least not the T-case. Sadly^10, Copenhagen Airport choose a set of 2x USA pickups instead. Since then, I have tried to ban from my mind the thought of doing the exact same thing, based on the Audi V12 TDi....:)) (preferably with the manual transmission that was once shown in a R10 prototype....anyone know where that one came from?) (British company/brand Inceni might also have the transmission (ratio's) needed for anything like this, with their USA-diesel-powered super sports car, getting baffling high MPG's at moderate speeds, just by gearing up up up) NB: an MB G65 with 2-ton trailer does 0-100km/h in 9,6s....:)) ADDENDUM: While refreshing my memory about the Ole Sommers story, I noticed he passed away this summer, July 2018. http://sommersautomobilmuseum.dk/osommer/ So anything he might have remembered from that project, more than he told me several years ago (2007-2009), has now been taken with him in his grave. Rest in peace, my friend; thanx for unearthing that lovely episode of automotive history, before everyone forgot & no one remembered. Btw, you might consider building a beefy roll-cage first, inside or outside the front cabin, before thinking about increasing speed. Hint: the upper front cabin can be carried by a single person. (somewhere on the Net there is a picture (video) of a crash test, a TGB being dropped, by a crane, nose-first, on concrete, from a height of a dozen meters or so....that ain't no pretty sight....) | ||||

Hi tmoney,
you maybe not have to do much to drive 120 km/h. I usually drive my 6x6 with about 90 and then swim well with the truck traffic. If a truck or camper is too slow I can overtake them very well and fast. From 95, the vehicle is quite restless, but that relativises itself from app.100-105 and then runs quieter again. At 115-120 is over. (speedometer then stands on k and gps shows 120) So fast I drive only briefly in overtaking. The engine and powertrain is quiet and not conspicuous, only the tires make a lot of noise ... ;-) But I would not go for a long time at this speed, think the technique does not last long this way... | ||||
