  • Interest Level: Grade 3 - Grade 6
  • Reading Level: Grade 4

Climb into the cabs of the world’s fastest trucks. They may be big, but these machines can really move! Roar off in the three jet engines of the Shockwave—powered to 376 mph (605 km/h)! Ride in the Banks Sidewinder Dodge Dakota, which set a world record at 217 mph (349 km/h)! Go off-roading in the fastest off-road terrain conqueror, the Ford F-150 SVT Raptor. Colorful illustrations capture these swift, powerful beasts on the road and off, while interesting text features highlight jet propulsion, turbocharging, and great truck racers past and present.

Reviewed on 15 December 2015

“An insanely joyful collection. . . . Brio meets absurdity on steroids in this dramatically illustrated [book]. . . . With considerable panache, Farndon bestows these beasts with their very own brand of beauty.”—starred, Kirkus Reviews
