Perhaps the most inovative thing yet.
Ford's patented SuperCooler technology cleverly provides a special burst of power for the SVT Lightning concept. Traditional intercoolers dissipate heat from the supercharged air by circulating coolant through a front-mounted, air-cooled radiator. With the SuperCooler system, the vehicle's air conditioning system is used to chill a small storage tank of coolant to about 30 degrees Fahrenheit.
On demand, the SuperCooler system switches the intercooler flow from its normal circulation and dumps the chilled coolant into the engine's intercooler. In turn, the intercooler dissipates up to 20 percent more heat from the charge air - resulting in a denser air charge.
A green light on the instrument panel indicates the system's readiness. SuperCooler is activated automatically when the driver depresses the accelerator to a wide-open-throttle position.
"This technology plays directly into the hands of the enthusiast," Coletti says. "The SuperCooler provides the edge for the driver, and it is done simply by taking advantage of the hardware that already exists in the vehicle."
As a result of this cool technology, the SVT Lighting concept can give its driver as much as 50 transient horsepower for short bursts of 30-45 seconds and regenerate within 2 minutes under normal driving conditions. While its effect is similar to that of an aftermarket nitrous oxide system, the SuperCooler is completely self-contained, environmentally friendly and regenerative.

That truck is awesome. Im confused because i saw a different concept at the Miami International Auto Show. This lloks alot better than that. It would probably be a good value too. It should drop for 35k.

wonder if it has the brakes and suspension to handle it all
cant be too safe having such a powerful engine but only mediocre handling ability and sucky brakes (like our cars

Damn.. those things are hella fast already.. Make me wonder when will/can someone use all these power. (besides the track)

Pretty damn cool though! Makes a cool sleeper. My 2000 Chevy has a blown 5.3L with 385HP, 450 ftlbs of torque (with the gearing it's 1/2 second slower in the 0-60 than our Acura), but it makes for a really cool ride! Wasting people off the line with a 4x4 truck is hillarious!!!!!!!
