From the 2003 Detroit Auto Show...

Transcript

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.
