Envy Valeting Posted April 7, 2012 Share Posted April 7, 2012 A Mercedes Benz 612HP Black Edition Actros truck! The SLR McLaren might be a rarity in the exotic-car world, but the Mercedes-Benz Actros Black Edition is bigger, more powerful and even rarer still. Of the 60,000 Mercedes-Benz Actros trucks rolled out over the course of 2006, only 250 examples of the Black Edition were built. The truck's 15.9-liter turbocharged V8 delivers 611 hp and a whopping 1,991 pound-feet of torque at only 1,080 rpm. At the same time, owners of the Actros Black Edition are unlikely to be worried about the way this $290,000 truck looks while parked outside Europe's hottest nightclubs. Even though it's a special edition and meant to be an attention-getting flagship for long-haul trucking companies, the Actros Black Edition does not slack off on the job. A towing capacity of 21,780 pounds and a fuel capacity of a bladder-busting (for the driver, that is) 317 gallons mean this prettified Actros isn't just for posing. I was invited to join Jake to work on this beauty. Jake had already done day 1 on the cab, and we teamed up for day 2 to carry out the exterior! Process was pretty standard following the wash, clay, cleanse and seal regime of the protection detail but on a grand scale! Jeffs Werkstatt products were used for longevity/durability. Amazing how many cubby holes and storage compartments it had that needed cleaning! Enjoy the pics from the day, any questions ask away. Big eh!

bronzee Posted April 10, 2012 Share Posted April 10, 2012 Awesome job Tim! Glad you showed the ladder in those pics. Be glad you don't have to do trucks too often, especially not solid sided ones! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
