The “Work Truck” GAPS Lambo on the Highway!
In the diverse automotive performance community, a well-crafted sleeper holds a unique allure. There’s a certain satisfaction in witnessing a vehicle that appears designed for mundane daily commuting unexpectedly unveil its performance prowess, leaving onlookers astonished.
I mean, when you’re driving around in a supercar that costs as much as someone’s house, it has to be a little bit unnerving to have a work truck eat your lunch but I digress.
Enter a truck from That Racing Channel, originally a humble Ford F-150 work truck.
Beneath the surface, a 3.0L Whipple Supercharger transforms the 5.0L Coyote-powered machine into a powerhouse with 830 hp at the tires. Adding to the intrigue, the truck maintains its 4×4 capability, allowing that considerable horsepower to grip the road and make its presence felt.
A video from TRC captures the work truck in action, showcasing its versatility in various tasks.
In a comedic sketch, the truck’s practical abilities take center stage on a jobsite before smoothly transitioning to its street performance. This highlights the environment where the F-150 truly excels and was purpose-built to thrive. The on-road antics include leaving a random Lamborghini in the dust on the highway and capturing the reactions of import car owners as they take the wheel. All-in-all, not only is this thing a bully in a drag race but it’s also a ton of fun as it provides smiles all around for everyone who experiences its power.
As That Racing Channel has made the most of the platform, the build truly reinforces that appearances can be deceiving in the world of racing. In this world, being prepared for the unexpected is key because one never knows when they’re going to be surprised by a typical-looking work truck.
