Burnouts it's something we associate with many American muscle cars and big V8s, but Michael Lake, an Australian, thought something bigger would be a better choice. He built his own truck over seven years, and the end result was Filthy — we assume that the translation for “Indecent” is the most adequate…
And Filthy is a genuine mechanical beast…
Hood? Nor see him. And who would want to cover this engine? It is a Cummins V12 Diesel (1710), four turbos, with 28 000 cm3, 900 hp and thundering 5423 Nm of torque — it should be enough for a burnout or another...
In addition to the chrome, its yellow color has originated associations, curiously, with the Bumblebee (a Camaro) of the Transformers, which led to Michael Lake having placed the symbol of the Autobots inside the Filthy.
What is certain is that Filthy is not for sale. As Michael Lake points out… it's already part of the family.
