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.
