We get a lot of press releases telling us Exciting News about reliable manufacturers, strategic partnerships and expensive toll crossings. Many of these, because of multifaceted reasons revolving largely around 'boredom', are ignored. This one, however, shoved its supercharged nose right into our inbox and demanded we open it.
That, right there, above these words, is the 'SuperUte'. Seriously, it's a Chevy Ute SS modified by a South African company called LupiniPower, who has deemed it necessary to bump the Chevy's power up to 535bhp and 590 torques. The most obvious, common-denominator headline-grabbing result is a 0-62mph time of 4.5 seconds thanks to something called a TractionBar. It's 0.1s quicker than a Porsche 911 Carrera GTS, a distance only visible and relevant in the minutae of a pub petrolhead's mind. Though it's been ten minutes, so expect another slightly more powerful 911 variant to come along shortly...
SuperUte is fitted with a supercharged 6.0-litre V8, like the Corvette ZR1, to bang out even more pub ammo: 0-100mph takes 9.9 seconds, 0-125mph takes 15.5 and it will top out at 175mph. You get bigger race-spec front brake discs and calipers, along with 'subtle' suspension tweaks. You get 20-inch wheels and can spec Bilstein suspension and a limited slip diff for the 'serious track day fan'. A fan, we imagine, who hallucinates about cage-fighting garden gnomes and pink daffodils while enjoying a can of Irn Bru.
It costs £58,000 in South Africa. Let's be honest, you want one, right? So do we.
