The 400mph Shockwave, the world's fastest truck that can outrun a Japanese bullet train
Powered by three jet engines and hitting speeds approaching 400mph, this is one lorry you won't get stuck behind.
This is Shockwave, the world's fastest jet-powered truck.
The four-tonne Peterbilt Semi generates an incredible 36,000 horsepower and can cover a quarter mile in just six-and-a-half seconds.
It has three Pratt & Whitney J34-48 jets, which were taken from U.S. Navy trainer jets called the T-2 Buckeye - a non-afterburner jet with one engine.
Each jet-engine produces 12,000 horsepower in afterburner - meaning a total 36,000 horsepower.
It holds 190 gallons of fuel and burns 180 gallons per performance.

Samsung takes the Lead over Apple
The Apple-Samsung war extends far beyond smartphones and patents. Fortune on Monday released its Global 500, a ranked list of the world's biggest companies by revenue. Samsung Electronics nabbed the 14th spot in the list with revenue of $178.6 billion last year. Apple was close behind in 19th place with $156.5 billion in revenue.
Samsung jumped from 20th place last year, after securing $149 billion in revenues. Apple was all the way back in 55th place in 2012 with $108 billion in revenue.
Despite their success at winning the technology space, it appears neither Samsung nor Apple should expect to hit the top spot anytime soon.
