Imagine a truck that can outpace most sports cars, reaching speeds of over 375mph. That’s not a futuristic concept; it’s the reality of the Shockwave Jet Truck, a modified Peterbilt truck that’s a marvel of engineering. Powered by three Pratt & Whitney J34 jet engines, each producing 12,000 horsepower — totaling an astounding 36,000 horsepower — the jet truck can accelerate from 0 to 300mph in just 12 seconds. The jet engines are mounted on the truck’s bed, facing backwards, and are connected to a massive exhaust system that directs the hot exhaust gases out the back, providing thrust. The Shockwave has been featured in numerous television shows and documentaries, showcasing its incredible speed and power, and holds numerous records, including the fastest truck on earth.
