Scania R999 burn out - Rotorua, NZ

Swedish truck customising legend, Sven Erik Bergendahl on tour in New Zealand with his 1,000 hp convertible Scania R999 'Red Pearl' custom built truck. The truck is shown here at Scania's NZ distributor, CablePrice's, Rotorua branch as part of a nationwide road show in March 2009. Sven Erik, or 'Svempa' as his is better known, patches up the 4.5 tonne beast (which is capable of doing 0-100 in 5.5 seconds) to the delight of CablePrice staff and customers onlooking.
