  • Join me as i take you on a Full Tour & Test Drive of this Renault Magnum from 2008, with it's 460hp straight 6 cylinder Diesel engine.
    It all started back in 1990 when the Renault AE was launched (the name Magnum only represented a level of trim finish featured inside the cab) and it wasn't until some year's later that Renault decided to call the whole truck the Magnum.
    This was my first time ever driving a Magnum too, so let's get it on the road and see how it performs.
    Thanks for watching, Stavros

    Some says it's ugly but frankly I felt it's just look abit different than the rest. Personally I would say they did have a clever design with the cab interior and exterior, most importantly it has flat floor and I think the latter design even have a table and a passenger seat which can turn sideways. Overall it's a clever design.

    So jealous you had a chance of driving a Magnum.
    Last year I archieved my license and since August this year I finally started my career in trucking, I'm now on a DAF XF106.
    Beautiful truck, absolutely love it but unfortunaley it means I will never have the chance anymore of driving the truck of my dreams, the Renault Magnum.

    As a Canadian truck driver with over 5 years experience, and having driven the vast majority of most 2000 and later American-style trucks, I'm finding it fascinating watching your videos and seeing how different things are "across the pond".
    I've seen most of your videos on the newer trucks, but just watching the exterior walk-around on this one and it's striking how well-designed this truck is for driver accessibility to things like coolant, washer fluid and the dipstick, even some of the newest trucks in Europe, you still have to open panels on the "hood" to access these things, and if there's a bullbar, that needs to move too.
    This is really smart design, and I really appreciate the amount of detail you put into your videos. Please keep up the hard work.

  • @BritishBoy1971
    @BritishBoy1971 Před 4 lety +3

    I have always liked the Renault Magnum, since the mid-1990s since seeing an owner-driver's one for Express Freight Services, in Essex, England. I loved the shape and look of it, especially the unique design of the steps and grab handles (I'm sure the transvestites in certain service stations around Europe have trouble climbing up in their high heels late at night after a few pints! 😂). The Magnum driver that I knew back then, Clive was his name, apparently used to sleep in his wellies in his cab. Rumour has it, that when he got back home on a Saturday afternoon after a week's tramping, his wife used to get him to undress in their front porch before letting him in the house because of the state he used to get into whilst on the road! 😂
    I never knew that it was designed by the man who designed one of the cars that I love the most (apart from the Ferrari Testarossa), the Lamborghini Countach!

    Used to drive one on European. If you angled the steering right you can jump up and rummage in a locker on the other side of the cab whilst on the cruise control. Nice touch. We used to swap drivers while going along when double manning...

    Out of all the European semi trucks throughout the years, those Renault Magnums were my favorite looking trucks. Something about being able to see the cab n Chassis stacked on one another other being able to see that gap between them catches my eye lol the design as well looks badass as well don't get me wrong...But that Scania Longline with that American sized sleeper is a badass looking truck as well. There's not many of those LL's driving around Europe anymore are there?
