Scania has unveiled a limited edition of the V8 series. The vehicles in the limited Black Amber series are each signed by Swedish designer Sven-Erik Bergendahl – Svempa – and are individually numbered from 1 to 100.
Sometimes owning or driving a Scania V8 truck is not enough. Some people spend untiring devotion on personalising their vehicles. For faithful fans, Scania is producing another series of V8-powered trucks, following up on the success of the limited edition “Dark Diamond” presented in 2009. Available with any of the Scania V8 outputs, the unique styling and added features have once again been developed in close collaboration with Swedish styling and customising company Svempas.
“One hundred Scania fans now get the chance to buy something very special, based on the new Scania V8 truck range,” says Kristofer Hansén, head of Styling at Scania. “With Svempa and his customising team, we have produced a design that stands out in any crowd. Whether from the outside or inside, there is no doubting the special care and attention that has gone into this limited series of trucks.”
The Black Amber paintwork in dark brown metallic is inspired by amber – the hard, translucent yellowish-brown fossil resin, of which black amber is a rare dark variety. The paintwork features chrome detailing and badges and matte or high-gloss black graphic accents visible from every angle.
Special high quality materials abound in the interior, including additional features that enhance comfort and a range of thoughtful touches. Numerous Scania V8 and Griffin symbols will please the enthusiasts. “Included in the deal, naturally, are traditional Scania V8 virtues like long-lasting performance, operating economy and durability,” Hansén says.
