The Lightning is not a sports car but it could hang with the best of them from the ’80s and ’90s. The Lightning needs no introduction because it introduced the world to the performance truck. This truck was designed after the success that GM had with the Chevrolet 454 SS. The 5.8 L V8 could deliver a whopping 240 HP coupled with a five-speed manual transmission. The F-150 Lightning was a monster of a truck and was initially released in limited numbers. The truck was only released in a single cab configuration in its original form.

Still, to be able to drive a supercharged Ford truck is a unique experience. The Lightning is one of the rarest pickup trucks drivers can get. You can expect to pay a pretty penny for one of these but the complete package is perhaps one of the best pure sports cars around. Not to mention the fact that the F-150 of the ’80s and ’90s is a solid platform to build on.
