Here is a video of the KamAZ-Master' redesigned 2004 race truck, designated the KamAZ- 4911. The team KamAZ -Master is by far the biggest racing team in Russia and won 32 races since 1996 and is the current champion of the world in truck rally. The truck has been dubbed the Flying KamAZ.

To watch the video, go to the provided link and click on the button Видео above the picture. It is in Russian but the video is really cool.

I know what you're saying Gunny, 830 hp under your right foot and a 0 to 60 in 16 seconds - in a truck!

The video just talks about some modifications to the truck: updated suspension, new fuel injection, and the most noticable change, the shape of the body. It also says there are 3 more being built right now and the next reace is Saudi Arabia.
