Unimogs are prety good in the mud and any conditions too bad they look like crap.

1 hp = 750 Watts

So, 205 KW = 275 hp

I'm not sure about the conversion factor for Newton-Meters to ft/lbs.

Edit,

Nevermind......found the conversion factor: 1100 NM = 811 ft/lbs.

Not very exciting power for a claimed 12 metric ton truck!

811 ft-lbs

155 x
---- = ---- x = 811.90476
210 1100

Some of the Unimog's list the engine as a 6 cylinder 5.9l turbo-diesel,...hmmmm
There's a bunch of different models according to my google search I couldn't find any listed prices, but looks like a cool truck.

Mogs are cool ..... they are used as farm implements here. You see them with all sorts of attachments strapped to them. They usually have PTO's coming out the front. I had thoughts about picking up one of the older ones and bringing it home ... but the costs associated wouldn't be worth it.
