The 2016 SEMA show is in full swing , and it ’s good to say that swing is just as crazy as ever ( or did you missthat mad 2,000hp , 220 miles per hour Toyota Land Cruiser ? ) . The yearly trade show in Vegas focuses on the newest and sound ways to modify your car , and we ’ve already seen some killer estimation and truly insane vehicle . Some of them are naturalistic enough to picture in your own service department someday soon , and others , are , well , SEMA cars .
The highlight so far …
Ringbrothers' “Madam V” Cadillac
trust it or not , ramp up this car require parts from four different bestower railcar : a twosome of 1948 Cadillac fastback coupe , plus a 2015 and a 2016 ATS - V. After nearly an eternity figuring out how to meld the cars seamlessly together ( the atomic number 6 - fiber cowling alone use up over600 hoursto build ) the end result is pretty stunning . This is a logical 1948 Caddy on a exhaustively mod Cadillac ATS - Phoebe physique , complete with not just the locomotive engine and hanging , but the modernistic Interior Department , too – and that include creature comforts like rain - sensing wiper . As custom soma go , that ’s about as complete as you get .
Chevrolet Camaro Turbo AutoX concept
This one ’s actually one of the very few that A ) truly stool sense and boron ) you’re able to actually own yourself . It ’s base on the four - cylinder Camaro , which in addition to being the tatty , is also the lightest . Why does that matter so much ? AutoX , orautocross , is a form of motorsport that set a very high agiotage on good handling , and this railway car is basically a carrying out parts catalog on four wheels , dedicated to autocross art .
Zero to 60’s GTT
Here you have what ’s called the GTT , and if you think it look a little like the end result of cast a Mustang and a Ford GT together in a warm and cozy garage with Netflix , you ’re perfectly good . Metaphorically , anyway . It ’s a very careful merging of both car ' design features into one exotic - looking SuperMustang . Is it crazy ? Maybe , but not as crazy as this : The party in reality plan to produce the GTT next year .
Unplugged Performance’s Tesla Model X
Unplugged Performance is n’t the first society to offer its own take on the electric SUV with the funny doors . It does , however , declare oneself a fairly comprehensive inspection and repair of the fomite on theinside , too , addressing a very common ill against Tesla ’s six - number vehicle ’s fit and finish . In the company ’s words , " the magnanimous swath of plastic and monochromic interior selection settle brusk of meet the desire of luxury railcar buyers who are used to getting precisely what they want . " The solution ? A start out - to - finish program for the Model X that ultimately get it where itshouldbe on the interior : exceptionally nice .
Jeep CJ66 concept
Jeep ’s team did some great matter here that you may not even notice unlessyou’re a serious Jeep enthusiast . await closely , and it ’s in reality a very artful merging of three unlike eras of Jeep . While the body ismostlyfrom the ' 60s , the powertrain is all new , and all of it ’s been massage to match on a soma from about 15 year ago . It might be a hodgepodge , but it ’s an all - American hodgepodge that would actually be great as a daily number one wood .
Mazda MX-5 Miata RF Kuro and Speedster concepts
Mazda did the most sensible thing possible for SEMA , and brought two aspirational Miatas . The first , the white Speedster , is basically a poster car plan to be as lightweight as possible for performance , without an eye toward product . It does n’t weigh a ton , and I mean that literally – the whole auto weighs just 1,980lbs .
The other car , the RF Kuro , is based on the upcoming Miata RF , and features ( not unlike the Speedster ) the suspension system and instrumentation presentation from Mazda ’s Miata Cup raceway car . This is Mazda ’s elbow room of saying " if you desire the well - deal railroad car without decease break , occur tattle to us . "
The FJ Company’s FJ43 “Project Aspen”
This is a one - off commissioned by a hombre who wanted to take his family on regular outings near his Aspen , Colorado dwelling house . Just one problem : The original FJ43 , while a expectant off - roading fomite , is n’t exactly the most main road - friendly fomite in the world . Enter the FJ Company – a shop that specializes in Land Cruiser restoration . Under the hoodlum now is a 210hp V6 ( that ’s a pretty big jump from stock ) and , well , too many modern touches to list here . When you check out the rest of the photograph , though , look at the smart details , like the rubberized coating on the floor , which could decidedly come in handy when it ’s meter to clean up after a day in the dirt .
Dodge “Shakedown” Challenger
Restomods ( cars that are alter while being restore , for the uninitiated ) are some of the coolest railcar out there . Restomods done by the manufacturersthemselvesare even well , thanks the the resourcefulness at hand . Sure , this Challenger has a modern engine at its heart ( good for 485hp ) , but it ’s also full of lilliputian touch like modern Challenger tail lights and seat from a Viper . It ’s the kind of motorcar you ’d build if you had nigh countless time , money , and talent .
The Ram ProMaster Pit Stop
draw a blank the cheap name and all the " fossa full stop " nonsense and think about what this vehicle represent . This is fundamentally a manufacturer - build bar , which means only one matter : If you get laid anyone that can take an Airstream , have them take on you at the lake and you ’ve stupefy one heck of a party post .
Ford’s Baja 1000 Raptor
When you require to prove your hardcore high - performance off - road truck ’s amazingess , you have to take it to a high - performance environment full of hardcore off - roading mental testing . The legendarily grueling Baja 1000 race has , in plus to a thousand miles of unforgiving terrain , append obstacle like – and this is 100 % true –inebriated fans savvy boobie trapsalong the grade . It ’s the perfect place for Ford to show off the strength and performance the 2017 F-150 Raptor . The truck you see here has only minimum changes from the precise one you ’ll be able to buy in dealerships – mostly things done in the name of safety equipment ( because , you know , boobie yap ) – and it ’s going to be competing in the Baja 1000 later this calendar month .
