Optimus: the 1200 HP Dodge Ram 3500 Truck

This monster truck nicknamed Optimus is an extensively modified version of the Dodge Ram 3500, which is as loud and proud as they come. Forget about emissions regulations and CO2 output, this thing is all about scaring little children and besting anything else on the road.
Under the bonnet of the vehicle brought to our attention by Internet automotive world personality Robert Himler is a twin turbocharged Cummins diesel engine that has been tuned to produce a mind-blowing 1,200 horsepower and 2,000 lb-ft of peak torque. That, a tank-like 2,711 Nm for you metric lovers.

This monster belongs to car collector Dave, who also has Gallardo Spyder LP570-4 Performante, a Lamborghini Murcielago LP670 SV, a Porsche Panamera Turbo and a BMW M6.
