Scania S Chimera
The inspiration behind Svempa's legendary show truck.
Among the most spectacular trucks ever built in Europe, Chimera undoubtedly stands out as the latest extraordinary creation by Swedish builder Svempa Bergendahl. The show truck is powered by a 16.4-liter Scania V8 engine producing 1,460 hp, allowing it to accelerate from 0 to 100 km/h in just 4.6 seconds—incredible performance for a vehicle in this category.
Here are the first images of Chimera, the latest spectacular masterpiece by Swedish customizer Svempa Bergendahl, a vehicle that immediately won over enthusiasts thanks to its striking presence and extraordinary technical specifications. The super truck made its debut at the Interlaken rally and subsequently embarked on a tour that took it to major European events, becoming one of the industry’s most admired attractions.
The success of its unmistakable graphic design inspired the creation of a version dedicated to the Scania S, which incorporates Chimera’s signature stylistic elements while adapting them to the modern lines of the new-generation Scania. Colors, details, and shapes faithfully echo the famous show truck, creating a perfect bridge between the world of exhibitions and that of road vehicles.
A reinterpretation that pays homage to one of the most iconic trucks ever built.
