Ultimate Vehicles | World's Biggest, Fastest Mega Cars

World's Biggest, Fastest Mega Cars: Whether commercial vehicles or super sports cars, these Ultimate Vehicles stand out – for their size, incredible power, and extraordinary design

On asphalt, gravel, fields, or snow – the Ultimate Vehicles in the Mega Cars episode are highly diverse, and each is perfectly tailored to its own niche. What they all have in common: powerful engines with lots of horsepower, and they amaze all who encounter them. These are the fastest, strongest, and biggest ground vehicles in the world.


It is the king of paved roads: the Bugatti Chiron. Supposedly the world’s fastest car. It has yet to break the record of its predecessor, the Bugatti Veyron. But all the experts consider this a mere formality.


Traction is the Case IH Steiger 620’s specialty. At the same time, this muscle man must be gentle on sensitive soils. No simple task for the most powerful tractor in the world, or for the engineers who designed it.


It is called “the Beast,” and it lives up to its name. No other snow groomer in the world can move as much snow. We ride along as it prepares the slopes for one of the most difficult World Cup races.


Fully extended, it is higher than the Cologne cathedral: the Liebherr LTM 11200-9.1. Its maximum hoisting height is 188 meters. Nevertheless, the huge crane is able to move on its own: it is the biggest and strongest mobile crane in the world. It was designed for the special demands of wind farms.


It is as big as a house, has more horsepower than a Formula 1 car, and operates around the clock: the Belaz 75710 is the biggest dump truck in the world. Next to it, human beings look like Lego figurines. In one trip, the heavyweight transports 450 tons of rock through an open-pit mine in Siberia. A worthy conclusion to this episode of “Ultimate Vehicles.”
