The existence of vehicles designed solely for special purposes is not a novel concept, as this idea has been around for many decades. However, as time progresses and technology advances, these vehicles have become increasingly sophisticated. A prime example of this is the development of Michelin's tire testing truck in the 1950s. Stay tuned and discover the story of the Willeme-Michelin WR8.

The Willem, the centième DS, and later on the berliet T100, France was going crazy with trucks at the time 😮

150kph is 93mph in American.

150kph is 93mph in British. We might have gone decimal in 1971, but not for our roads. Distances and speed limits on signs ARE still in Imperial....as well as our speedometers in our vehicles. You're not the only one, America......

@@ml9867 Yep, we're one fcuked up Country using both metric and Imperial. I'm 6'2" and weigh 17 stone (238 pounds to you) and drink Pints in the Pub and live in a 20mph zone. I was born in 1971 and all the way through school, our teachers would let us use what ever we found easier to use. When someone speaks in metric to me, I call it Euro's and ask "what's that in English".......

@@ml9867 It's just how we were raised, I suppose. 1 Stone is 14 Pounds, so its easier to say 16 and a half Stone or 12 Stone than state it in Pounds. Like I said, we're pretty messed up here.

Leave it to the French to put an fighter airplane engine into a truck, and only get 93 MPH out of it. "Michelin, Taking Tire Tech to the Edge." Continental Tire: Hold my Beer. We look back to see if we can still see the edge. lol!

I'm afraid it's an in-line eight German Deutz-Diesel, produced under licence by Willème. The engine above sucks in air only, so it can't be a gasoline engine if we cut out the gasoline direct injection. What is more, the two bowls are Diesel filters.

Yes it was a Deutz build under licence.
