To achieve these speeds, players must bypass several vanilla game restrictions: Steam Workshop::Increased Road Speed Limits
If you prefer to "patch" the speed yourself, you can modify the game's internal files: Steam Workshop::Super FAST 260km/h
Euro Truck Simulator 2 (ETS2) is globally celebrated for its realistic recreation of European logistics, strict adherence to traffic laws, and meticulous physics engine. For most players, cruising at a governed 90 km/h while managing fuel efficiency and fatigue is the core appeal. However, a passionate sub-community of players looks at SCS Software’s massive open world and asks a different question: How fast can these trucks actually go?
For many, that's the point. It turns a simulation into an arcade-style survival game where the goal isn't just to deliver the cargo, but to see if the physics engine can even handle the velocity. Installation & Safety
Change the torque: value to an astronomical number (e.g., 20000 ).
Euro Truck Simulator 2 (ETS2) is built on the promise of hyper-realistic, slow-paced European freight transport. For over a decade, developer SCS Software has meticulously tuned the game physics to replicate the heavy, deliberate handling of multi-ton cargo trucks. Yet, a passionate subculture of players has always wanted to break the rules, pushing these massive vehicles past supercar speeds using custom modifications.
While the classic, plug-and-play "400 km/h mod" from older forum days may be patched, the ETS2 modding community is incredibly resilient. You can still achieve mind-bending speeds in the current version of the game using modern workarounds. Method 1: Modern "No Damage + Speed" Physics Mods
Unfortunately, the golden age of hyper-speed trucking has hit a major roadblock. The latest game patches have effectively "killed" the classic 400 km/h mods.
However, the speed-loving community has adapted. While true 400 KM/H mods are patched out due to engine constraints, players can still find stable "No Speed Limit" or "High Power Engine" mods on the Steam Workshop. These modern mods safely push trucks up to a more manageable 200–220 KM/H. At this threshold, the Prism3D engine can still accurately calculate physics, render the highway ahead, and keep your truck on the asphalt.
The 400 km/h speed mod completely flipped this formula. By modifying internal game files, modders unlocked:
As of the current game version (early 2026), the classic "400 km/h patched" mod is increasingly rare. Why? Because SCS Software has slowly hardened the physics engine. In recent updates:
