Ford SVT Lightning
Emerging from a storm of pyrotechnics at the F-150 unveil event, Ford surprised us with the introduction of the SVT Lightning concept. Clearly not willing to leave the Dodge Ram performance truck threat unanswered, SVT rolled out a bold, hard-edged sport truck that exudes street dominance from every notched vent. Beneath the nostriled hood lurks a supercharged 5.4-liter V-8 producing 500 horsepower and 500 lb-ft of torque. The engine augments the intercooler with a special SuperCooler system that uses the air conditioning system to chill a small coolant tank, allowing the intercooler to dissipate 20 percent more heat. The SuperCooler is triggered automatically during wide open throttle, in the spirit of a nitrous system. Shared with the Mustang Cobra, a Tremec T-56 six-speed manual transmission tackles the shifting chores. The independent rear suspension is adapted from the Ford Expedition and tuned for optimum handling.

The SVT F-150 Lightning concept features an independent rear suspension and SVT's famous attention to every detail of the suspension, steering and braking systems for driving dynamic capabilities that match the sport truck's awesome power.

The concept truck's handling potential is immediately apparent, evidenced by massive 22-inch cast aluminum wheels that convey power even standing still. The wheels are wrapped in hand-cut Goodyear P295/40R22 tires in front and P325/45R22 tires at the rear.

Visible through the six-spoke wheels are equally impressive Brembo brakes - six-piston calipers in front, four-piston at the rear - mated to platter-size, 380-millimeter, cross-drilled ventilated discs.

SVT engineers chose to fit an independent rear suspension (IRS) system to the Lightning concept in lieu of F-150's standard Hotchkiss type solid rear axle with leaf springs and outboard shock absorbers. The IRS unit was adapted from the Ford Expedition.
