The annual Commercial Vehicle Show in Blighty is one of our favorite things, specifically because our inner children never stopped liking big trucks , and the manufacturers actually unveil cool stuff at the show. Exhibit A comes from Ford, which pulled the wraps off the limited-edition Transit SportVan. Powered by a 130-horse diesel, the bespoilered SportVan is targeted at the small business owner who wants to deliver his or her goods in style, hence the Performance Blue paint, Le Mans stripes, and 18" alloys. Inside, it's driver rolls along in leather seats, with creature comforts like additional leather appointments, a CD changer, A/C, rain-sensing wipers, and more all included in the deal. Only 500 will be built. Full details from Ford come after the jump.

Toyota to release F1-inspired Hilux pickup]]>http://www.autoblog.com/2007/04/24/1980s-decals-are-back-toyota-to-release-f1-inspired-hilux-picku/http://www.autoblog.com/2007/04/24/1980s-decals-are-back-toyota-to-release-f1-inspired-hilux-picku/http://www.autoblog.com/2007/04/24/1980s-decals-are-back-toyota-to-release-f1-inspired-hilux-picku/#commentsFiled under: , ,



Back in March we told you about a supercharged TRD HiLux pickup designed for the Australian market, and now the guys and gals from Aichi Japan are unveiling an F1-inspired variant of its world pickup at the CV show in the UK. Powered by a 3.0L diesel engine, grunt will be bumped to 200ps (197 hp), which is 30 stallions more than the standard fare. Also updated are a US-sourced top, bigger rims, and an F1-inspired paint job.

We don't know if the red and white paint scheme of the HiLux reminds us of the Toyota F1 car, but we'd sure take the 3.0L diesel here in the states. If Back to the Future part four were made today, we're pretty sure this would be Marty's truck of choice.

The full press release is after the jump.
