Yes you read that correctly, Ford is looking at FINALLY putting a performance truck idea back in the works! Its been, hmm I dont know, 5 years since the last performance truck rolled onto the streets with a blue oval in the grille. When SVT was making it’s return with the SVT Shelby Cobra GT500 there was supposed to be an SVT Adrenalin Sport Trac that had the previous generation cobra’s 4.6 S/C 390HP V8 but married to an AWD transmission. ~>

BUT sadly this never made it past a concept. Well in spite of plummeting sales of big trucks, a high-performance variant of the new 2009 F-150 should debut later this fall, I would imagine at either SEMA or the L.A Auto Show. Lightning Maybe? Wouldn’t that be nice? To Get The 500+ HP S/C+Super Cooled Lightning we were promise and so badly denied?

Here are some photo’s of the Lightning we were supposed to get back in ‘05:

Now incase your wondering about the part where I mentioned Super cooled. Here is what that means, the SuperCooler 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.

Now I hope and pray this idea see’s this next performance truck! Now there is also a really good chance that this might be the next generation of Harley Davidson edition truck’s, as we know the HD shared the same motor as the lightning so it wouldn’t surprise me that this is just another HD truck ford is putting out. But im with all the SVT fans out there, GIVE US THE LIGHTNING!
