Euro Truck Simulator 2 (ETS2) is renowned for its realism, relaxation, and adherence to traffic laws. However, a significant portion of the community enjoys modifying the game to push its physics engine to the absolute limit. One of the most popular and extreme modifications in this category is the 400 km/h Speed Mod.
This text explores what this mod entails, what defines "extra quality" in this context, and the technical considerations users should be aware of.
Why not 500? Why not 1000? In ETS2’s engine, 400 km/h is the “Goldilocks Zone.” At 300 km/h, you feel fast. At 500 km/h, the map doesn’t render fast enough, and you crash into invisible trees. At 400 km/h, the world streams in just quickly enough to feel like a heroin-fueled Initial D episode, but slow enough that you might survive a corner. euro truck simulator 2 speed mod 400 km h extra quality
Not every truck can handle this. The mod works best with:
Avoid: Old Kenworths or the Renault Magnum. The Magnum handles like a shopping cart at those speeds. Pushing the Limits: A Guide to the 400
Standard engines cap at 750 HP. This mod introduces engines ranging from 1500 HP to 4000+ HP, allowing you to hit 400 km/h on straight highways. Torque curves are reworked to prevent instant wheelspin.
Warning: Do not use this mod in Multiplayer (TruckersMP). You will be instantly banned for speed hacking. Volvo FH16 (2012): Best aerodynamics for high speed
Pro-Tip: Combine your 400 km/h mod with a no-damage mod or traffic remover mod for the ultimate stress-free experience. Because let’s face it—at 400 km/h, that tiny Fiat in the left lane becomes a very expensive crater.
