Vauxhall Maloo Packs More Horses Than the 911 Turbo.

Vauxhall doesn't like the conventional belief that pickup trucks should not be performant. On the contrary, according to them, the pickup should be a real tough challenger for most sports cars. Enter Vauxhall Maloo!

The Maloo LSA borrowed its insane 6.2-liter supercharged V8 engine from Camaro and packs 529 hp and 495 lb-ft of torque. The power is now greater than what a Porsche 911 Turbo has! These specs allow Maloo to get to 62 mph in 4.6 seconds, best of all, while carrying 1,200 lbs in its trunk!

Such power needs adjustments to differential and suspension. Check. Moreover, a powerful beast should look aggressive. Check. The latter is accomplished with the help of a new front bumper, small splitter, black air vents, and 20-inch wheels.

This powerful and mean-looking pickup truck will sell close to $81,165 which is more than you'd expect but each penny spent is worth it!
