The lads at Volvo wanted to show off their new Volvo FH truck in style, so they decided to pit it against one of the fastest and most powerful cars on the road.

Volvo certainly knows how to make an epic advert and they have proved that time and time again with the likes of The Epic Spilt, featuring Jean Claude Van Dame, and their brilliant ad that saw Volvo President Claes Nilsson suspended from a giant crane – just to name a few.

This time around Volvo has recruited Fifth Gear presenter, Tiff Needell, who claims to have never driven a truck before, for a few laps around a racetrack in their new FH.

However, it’s no leisurely spin, as Tiff is pitted against the beastly Koenigsegg One:1. Fun fact: It’s JOE’s ‘If We Won The Lottery’ car…

The start of the video tells us all about the new Volvo FH truck and what makes it so special, but the real action kicks off around the 5:30 mark.
