The 2012 Ford F-150 Thunder is GAS’s take at reviving the Ford F-150 SVT Lightning performance truck. The company says it has supercharged the truck’s engine to produce 540 hp, although doesn’t specify which engine served as the base mill — we suspect it was the 5.0-liter V-8. On top of that, GAS added 22-inch wheels, air-ride suspension, a Flowmaster side-exit exhaust, and Dark Amethyst metallic paint. The F-150 also receives a new front fascia, new mirrors, a tonneau cover with a built-in spoiler, and new leather-and-suede bolsters for the front seats.

The 2012 Ford Mustang Boss 302-X wears a special body that has been widened nine inches compared to stock, and subsequently slathered in matte-orange paint. The car’s 5.0-liter V-8 has been fitted with a ProCharger supercharger to bump output to a claimed 700 hp, while the factory rolling stock has been replaced with 20-inch wheels. GAS also saw fit to install a Borla exhaust, Stoptech slotted brakes, an orange six-point roll cage, and an orange-painted racing helmet. |

The 2011 Ford Focus RS 420 is a go-faster version of the Europe-only RS hatchback. GAS upgraded the car’s turbocharged 2.5-liter inline-five engine with a new intake manifold, exhaust, intercooler, fuel injectors, reflashed engine computer, and methanol injection to produce a claimed 420 hp. The only other major upgrades are black racing stripes and black-painted wheels.

The 2011 Ford Focus ATK is based on the U.S.-market Focus hatchback, but is designed for “attacking the streets.” It wears a new front fascia and body kit dipped in Alchemy Gray paint, along with a new rear spoiler, gloss-black badges, and clear taillights. Mechanical updates are limited to Eibach lowering springs, a Borla exhaust, and gold-coated 19-inch wheels. Inside, the Focus receives Katzkin leather upholstery and a JL Audio sound system with two amplifiers and giant speakers. |

The 2011 Ford F-650 XUV is, yes, a modified version of Ford’s burly medium-duty truck chassis. Outfitted with a pickup truck bed and four-wheel drive, GAS claims their creation is an Xtreme Utility Vehicle. Right. That means the F-650 gets add-ons like 22-inch wheels, an eight-inch exhaust stack, polish fuel tanks, power-retractable side steps, and a 900-watt sound system.
| The 2011 Ford Explorer XXVI is apparently targeted at celebrities, as it comes with a 360-degree camera designed to scout for DSLR-wielding paparazzos. The SUV itself, though, stands out thanks to its Bruise Blue paint, custom front grille, and 24-inch wheels. The Explorer’s interior has been redone in leather and suede, including a suede headliner and suede door panels. On top of that, GAS added an “insane”, 2150-watt sound system that can be controlled via an Apple iPad. | |
The Tony Hawk Explorer is a version of Ford’s SUV customized for a charity event organized by the eponymous skateboarder. The Explorer is painted gray with the front grille and trim pieces blacked out. Tony Hawk logos grace the fenders and liftgate, while Savini wheels are shod in Pirelli tires. The interior features Katzkin leather upholstery, skateboard racks, and a Sony PlayStation 3 — with which occupants could play the countless Tony Hawk skateboarding video games.
