Or the classic Scania V8... both are awesome sounding engines for diesels!
Class piece of kit that 8x4!
Last I'd heard - a few years ago Scania were knocked off the top of the 8x4 market by DAF.
Also, anyone know how the R-series is doing in the tractor unit table?

If you need any bling bits mate i work for Bailey Truck Parts as for the sound thing, fitted a change over valve and twin side pipes on a v8 scania today so at the flick of a switch its straight through 
that would take some beating, you could hear the turbo whistling on tick over
