It’s a miracle this truck didn’t blow over in the high cross winds.
Marvel at the incredible skill this driver used to defy gravity and control this truck from a potential disaster.

The video starts off pretty normal, but when you see what happens, you may be quit shocked.
I watched agasp and in awe as two trucks slowly edge towards the cliff, and then things take a turn for the worse.
Both trucks fall to utter destruction, with the tow truck driver managing to make a quick escape, just in the nick of time.
It’s quite incredible that all of this was caught on video. You have to see it.

The new prototype truck unveiled by Walmart is a new addition in their fleet efficiency program, managing to create a whole host of firsts for the trucking market.
Aerodynamically unique, and boasting an” advanced turbine-powered, range-extending series hybrid powertrain”. Sounds impressive, right?
The trailer is also made entirely from carbon fiber, in a single 53 foot sheet. Impressive. This allows them to save 4,000 pounds, which always helps with carrying extra cargo.
The official video is below, allowing you to see the exceptional truck in more detail.

36,000 Horsepower? Speeds up to 375 Mph? It must be a hell of a supercar.
Nope, it’s Shockwave. The world’s fastest Jet-Powered truck.
With 3 Jet Engines, it can cover a quarter of a mile in 6.5 seconds, and generate up to 9Gs.
It truly is a beast of a truck. I’m sure there’s a lot of jealous truckers out there right now.
Check out this beast below:

Hammond and a grid of pro racers take to the track in a pack of film-support trucks littering the tarmac with pyrotechnics, toilets, and hot dogs in this insane, not-yet-aired Top Gear wacky race.
A “no-contact rule” is quickly abandoned and, spoiler alert, there’s a lot of carnage.
I can just imagine the Top Gear team dreaming this up, something like: “Hey, what if we raced all the logistics trucks we use to help make the show?”
Naturally they ended up using caricature vehicles they made for the event, with typical Top Gear flair. But I’m sure when TG finally does go off the air they’ll bow out with a bang like this.
