BOASTING a twin-turbo engine with more than 900hp – ‘Filthy’ is the world’s first full custom-road registered burnout truck. Owner Michael Lake, from ‘Truckin Stainless’ in Brisbane, Australia, spent seven years working days and nights in his shed to perfect his latest burnout model. A ‘burnout’ is the practice of keeping a vehicle stationary whilst spinning its wheels, causing the tyres to heat up and smoke due to friction. Michael, 42, built ‘Filthy’ specifically for the entertainment of burning out to crowds across Australia, but he also made sure to produce a vehicle that was practical and street-legal for his own pleasure.

00:00I own trucks, live trucks, breathe trucks, and I've spent my whole life so far.
00:06This is Filthy, a burn out truck, heaps of smoke.
00:14Yep, Michael Lake, owner of Truckin' Stainless here in Brisbane, Australia.
00:18This is my truck that I've built for burnouts.
00:30It's got a 28 litre Cummins, that's a white 4000, 75 model, it's got twin turbos, all
00:44custom made.
00:46Passion for trucks has been since I was a young boy, I was a truck driver most of my
00:51life.
00:52I just had enough of it, wanted to get out of it, try something different.
00:57So we started at home, built it up from home, gone from there.
01:02I drew pictures of it when I first started building it and just sort of went from there.
01:07It's pretty much what it looks like on the picture, it's one of a kind.
01:13Started with a set of diffs, started with a set of diffs, put the motor and box in place,
01:30string lined it on my concrete and we started building the truck from there.
01:34Yeah, it's all pretty much all custom.
01:38The build's taken seven years, we go from starting with a cab that was rusted out to
01:44putting it all together.
01:46Just every night pretty much, after I'd finish work I'd just go out there and just start
01:50working on that until I had enough and then go back up inside and then get up and do it
01:55all over again.
01:56It's a bit of an old school look that we've done, we've got a lift up bumper, it all tilts
02:01out and lifts up so I can get over speed bumps and what not.
02:05That's our custom grill, we've manufactured and all done here in house.
02:10You see these gauges, they've all got our own custom truck and stainless logo in them.
02:15That's a pretty cool little feature we've got, it looks pretty good at night too, it'll
02:20all light up.
02:21Up here we've got our front brakes, so we'll hold them down to do a burnout and we'll hold
02:27them down until we're done.
02:36The hardest part would be to, I was originally marrying the box and the motor up, other than
02:43that, yeah we just worked on it until we got it, until we worked it out.
02:47A bit of a feature would be, I reckon would be the grill, I definitely like the front
02:51look of it, it's definitely in your face.
02:54Our custom steering wheel here with a quick release, I've got the Transformer logo over
02:59here because everyone reckons it's a bit of a bumblebee.
03:02The whole building process probably, I wouldn't have put a price to it, but yeah probably
03:0750,000.
03:10The engine is a V12 1710 Cummins, 28 litre, it's rated at 900 horsepower and 4000 foot
03:17pound of torque.
03:18They can go to like 2300 horsepower or four turbos, that's really cracking.
03:25Nah, I don't think I'd ever sell it, it's just part of the family now.
03:29My friends are a bit jealous of it, of Filthy, but it's all good, I get to take them for
03:34a run around the block and they soon change their mind.
03:37This truck is outstanding, like I really think it's beyond words, it's the best truck in
03:43Australia out there, in Australia for sure.
03:45Yeah I'm proud of the truck we've built, all the work we've done to it and all the customisation,
03:53one of a kind kind of a truck, it's definitely different, definitely proud of it.
