Always up for a challenge, the UPS automotive team in the city of Langenhagen, Germany converted a seventeen year old, retired UPS package car into a powerful racing truck. The UPSers replaced the engine (the four cyl-inders were replaced by a V8 engine with 425hp). The package car was fit-ted with a new rear axle, a flashy bumper, two exhaust pipes, new springs, fatter tires, chrome rims and a new drivers cab. The racing truck makeover did not end there: UPS worked with the Media Design Academy in Düssel-dorf, Germany to find a matching skin for the tuned package car.
