LIGHTNING STRIKING AGAIN
Promising power of "500-horsepower-plus," Ford rolled out the production version of its F-150 Lightning pickup at McCormick Place on Thursday. The big truck uses an unusual "SuperCooler" system to draw some extra punch out of its supercharged 5.4-liter
V-8. A traditional intercooler uses a separate, air-cooled radiator. Instead, the SuperCooler uses the Lightning's air conditioning system to chill a small storage tank of coolant to about 30 degrees Fahrenheit, resulting in an even denser air charge during peak acceleration. According to Coletti, it "acts like a nitrous (oxide) injection system," generating an extra 50 to 60 horsepower. And that, Ford claims, should help maintain Lightning as the world's fastest production pickup."
