Powering this beast are a couple of engine that manage to deliver 4.600 Hp and a mind boggling 18.626 Nm of torque. Not that it is of any consequence, but this baby can reach a top speed of 64 km/h. Another highlight of this Golliath is the extremes of temperatures it can work on, from -50°C up to +50°C.
