2008 Renault Magnum (460hp) Full Tour & Test Drive

Join me as i take you on a Full Tour & Test Drive of this Renault Magnum from 2008, with it's 460hp straight 6 cylinder Diesel engine.
It all started back in 1990 when the Renault AE was launched (the name Magnum only represented a level of trim finish featured inside the cab) and it wasn't until some year's later that Renault decided to call the whole truck the Magnum.
This was my first time ever driving a Magnum too, so let's get it on the road and see how it performs.
Thanks for watching, Stavros

Nice truck. Lots of essential features, such as the egg holders.

[@foreigner2017]

for coins. but your comment was hillariuos.

[@joemengler1666]

Good old magnum, my dad had a 52 plate running to Gibraltar for years and never had a problem, he loved it!

[@nesh2003]

Some says it's ugly but frankly I felt it's just look abit different than the rest. Personally I would say they did have a clever design with the cab interior and exterior, most importantly it has flat floor and I think the latter design even have a table and a passenger seat which can turn sideways. Overall it's a clever design.

[@subjectdelta4813]

Lovely machine🤘 Had one for 5 years and absolutely loved the beast. Was so sad to lose her though😥

[@NickG40]

Fun fact: this was the first European cabover truck that had a completely flat floor.

So jealous you had a chance of driving a Magnum. Last year I archieved my license and since August this year I finally started my career in trucking, I'm now on a DAF XF106. Beautiful truck, absolutely love it but unfortunaley it means I will never have the chance anymore of driving the truck of my dreams, the Renault Magnum.

The 6 cylinder used on the renault magnum has such a lovely sound I really do love the sound of the engine

When they first came onto uk roads my kids were young and we always played a spot the Magnum game and it was surprising how many there were . Still great to see them 🇬🇧👍

Brilliant video mate, you are one of the best on KZbin just live your reviews. Please keep em coming they are much appreciated. Are there any 520 Eurostar’s in preservation in Ireland would love a review on one. I used to drive a 470 version so would be nice to see one again.

Love the channel stavros

[@tarushdei]

As a Canadian truck driver with over 5 years experience, and having driven the vast majority of most 2000 and later American-style trucks, I'm finding it fascinating watching your videos and seeing how different things are "across the pond". I've seen most of your videos on the newer trucks, but just watching the exterior walk-around on this one and it's striking how well-designed this truck is for driver accessibility to things like coolant, washer fluid and the dipstick, even some of the newest trucks in Europe, you still have to open panels on the "hood" to access these things, and if there's a bullbar, that needs to move too. This is really smart design, and I really appreciate the amount of detail you put into your videos. Please keep up the hard work.

[@recardobrown]

Great as always,keep them coming.

[@sparkplugs09]

Great video Stavros! Thank you very much!

[@williambolger5296]

Nice one, I always had a soft spot for the magnum but never got a chance to drive one

[@ajratcliffe7272]

Great video, I’ve always wanted to drive one! I’m sure there are many faults with them, but they just look so cool!

[@BritishBoy1971]

I have always liked the Renault Magnum, since the mid-1990s since seeing an owner-driver's one for Express Freight Services, in Essex, England. I loved the shape and look of it, especially the unique design of the steps and grab handles (I'm sure the transvestites in certain service stations around Europe have trouble climbing up in their high heels late at night after a few pints! 😂). The Magnum driver that I knew back then, Clive was his name, apparently used to sleep in his wellies in his cab. Rumour has it, that when he got back home on a Saturday afternoon after a week's tramping, his wife used to get him to undress in their front porch before letting him in the house because of the state he used to get into whilst on the road! 😂 I never knew that it was designed by the man who designed one of the cars that I love the most (apart from the Ferrari Testarossa), the Lamborghini Countach!

[@mickmeadows]

Always liked the look of this wagon. Never had the pleasure of driving one but wouldn’t mind.

Always remember the first time I drove a magnum . I thought it was tipping over . The cab suspension was awful . Made you take corners a lot slower ... Cracking vid as always .

[@amfwelsh]

Drove these magnums for a good few years . Weird at first but loved it in the end

[@RayBoylan-zo7sg]

Finally Stavros driving a traditional gearbox and a bit of a tutorial with using a splitter. Could hear him click away. Nice for a non trucker. Seriously thinking of getting truck licence. Albeit, I'll have to start on a rigid first few years. Cheers Stavros.

[@UncalBertExcretes]

Love the videos, love the Irish truck styling you guys really put alot of effort into making the fleet look good and unique. Unlike most British transport firms who have a fleet of white trucks with black trim. Gotta love the accent too!

[@lanzonova]

Great video again mate 👍I f you like or hate the Magnum/AE fact is that it is something special with that high flat floor cab. Stravos it would be great tho see a Volvo F12/16 in your video. I cant wait too see one in your show. Greetings from a big fan from holland.👍

[@nelsonr.9253]

Hey Stavros, nice video... Athough I always thought the Magnum's were one of the most confortable trucks ever made... Anyway's, personally, I love the design, they look so magnificent when you meet one of these in person.

After seeing you drive through that town, now I can see why Europe and the UK have size restrictions with their trucks..I could just imagine driving an American truck with a 53ft trailer would be hell driving through narrow road towns like that lol..

Great video, did you ever do a video of any Pegaso, I would love to see one of those.

[@petittrainguernsey3297]

Used to drive one on European. If you angled the steering right you can jump up and rummage in a locker on the other side of the cab whilst on the cruise control. Nice touch. We used to swap drivers while going along when double manning...

Wow. Good old memories. The firs one I ever drove was a 1994 with a square dash 420 HP. The flat floor was totally new thing back then. But I would take a IVECO Turbostar anytime over the Magnum. Great video ! Keep up the good work. Keep on trucking and be safe.

American truck driver here, I really wish our trucks had those fancy blinds like this magnum has. None of the American truck brands do anything like that as far as I know. They just have curtains on rails.

[@mircomelsbach1733]

first of all the magnum is nice dont say its uncomforteble and the AE magnum doesnt just had 374hp and 500hp there are way more engines for magnum trucks and you shuld drive the Magnum Integral with 560 HP open pipe 👍(sorry for my English i am from Germany)

Hello I like Mack nice video looking for the next saludos

[@kwinchronic8953]

Out of all the European semi trucks throughout the years, those Renault Magnums were my favorite looking trucks. Something about being able to see the cab n Chassis stacked on one another other being able to see that gap between them catches my eye lol the design as well looks badass as well don't get me wrong...But that Scania Longline with that American sized sleeper is a badass looking truck as well. There's not many of those LL's driving around Europe anymore are there?

[@mateomurn7505]

Yes. Scania phased out T series bonet cab trucks from production. And there are very little of them now on the road. And Magnum was also replaced by T high series.
