The new international speed record-setter doesn&#8217;t just have a lot of pickup. It actually is a pickup. A specially modified S-15. From GMC Truck, to be exact.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Created by the Advanced Vehicle Engineering Group at GMC Truck, this aerodynamically refined, 523-horsepower pickup recently scorched through the flying mile with an incredible two-way average speed of 194.770 mph, and a top speed of 197.530 mph. Shattering the previous record of 171.110 mph set in 1986 by a Porsche 928 S4. And forever leaving its mark upon the Bonneville salt, and the history books.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Of course, achievements like this mean a great deal to us at GMC Truck. But they really mean even more to you. Because in the end, this kind of advanced technology, forward thinking and enthusiasm goes a long way toward making the GMC Truck you can drive every day even better.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Look at it this way. Some of the world&#8217;s most advanced trucks already wear the GMC Truck name. And now, we&#8217;ve just given every other automotive manufacturer one more impossibly high standard to try to meet.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div data-wp-interactive=\"core\/file\" class=\"wp-block-file\"><object data-wp-bind--hidden=\"!state.hasPdfPreview\" hidden class=\"wp-block-file__embed\" data=\"https:\/\/sportmachines.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/05\/AutoWeek-12-4-89.pdf\" type=\"application\/pdf\" style=\"width:100%;height:600px\" aria-label=\"Embed of AutoWeek 12-4-89.\"><\/object><a id=\"wp-block-file--media-a0f10f2b-81df-4309-ac6a-1636d9e9d368\" href=\"https:\/\/sportmachines.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/05\/AutoWeek-12-4-89.pdf\">AutoWeek 12-4-89<\/a><a href=\"https:\/\/sportmachines.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/05\/AutoWeek-12-4-89.pdf\" class=\"wp-block-file__button wp-element-button\" download aria-describedby=\"wp-block-file--media-a0f10f2b-81df-4309-ac6a-1636d9e9d368\">Download<\/a><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Autoweek <\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":1159,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[10,26],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-235","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-advertisement","category-land-speed-record","entry","has-media"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.sportmachines.com\/wp-index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/235","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.sportmachines.com\/wp-index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.sportmachines.com\/wp-index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.sportmachines.com\/wp-index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.sportmachines.com\/wp-index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=235"}],"version-history":[{"count":7,"href":"https:\/\/www.sportmachines.com\/wp-index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/235\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":3034,"href":"https:\/\/www.sportmachines.com\/wp-index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/235\/revisions\/3034"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.sportmachines.com\/wp-index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/1159"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.sportmachines.com\/wp-index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=235"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.sportmachines.com\/wp-index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=235"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.sportmachines.com\/wp-index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=235"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
