Reviews of Kamaz 4911

Vladimir:

“This Kamaz is specific, very different from its counterparts. The main difference, in addition to speed and maneuverability, is the heat in the cabin. Yes, there is a special coolant system, but it does not save from 60 degrees of heat. Especially it is appreciable when the car is in motion.

Pros: Unique car, the engine is just a beast, maneuverability, power and the ability to drive uphill here, overcoming the angle of 43 degrees.

Cons: Very expensive! It would be very difficult to buy one of these, even if you really wanted to! “
