00:00 At the 2003 North American International Auto Show, Ford surprised the audience with the
00:17 thunderous introduction of the new SVT Lightning concept.
00:21 Ford Vice President of Blue Oval Products, Phil Martins, tells us more about the truck.
00:27 Now that's a phenomenal truck.
00:29 I'd like you to meet one more addition to the F-150 lineup, the new F-150 SVT Lightning
00:35 concept.
00:36 This is a concept of where we intend to take the world's fastest pickup in the future.
00:42 When the Ford Special Vehicle Team creates a product, you can be sure of three things.
00:47 It's going to be sleek, it's going to be powerful, and there's going to be nothing quite like
00:52 it on the planet.
00:54 You can see the ground-hugging effects and the 20-inch wheels, but here's what you can't
00:59 see.
01:00 A fully independent rear suspension, a six-speed transmission, and the sheer muscle of a 500-horsepower
01:07 supercharged engine.
01:09 With Ford's recent history of displaying concept vehicles that are very true to production
01:14 design, we expect to see the third-generation Lightning look similar to this hot concept.
