AC Ace Classic
AC Cars, Britain’s oldest active vehicle manufacturer, unveiled the AC Ace Classic electric with electrified performance technologies partner TREMEC Electric GT. This roadster goes from 0-100 km/h in 4.9 seconds and offers a range of more than 320 km. Just 49 examples will be available for the launch.
Ringbrothers TUKA
In addition to INVADR, the world-renowned tuner from Wisconsin unveiled a custom-built 1972 Chevrolet K5 Blazer known as "TUKA." It features a fully bespoke interior, hand-shaped body, 525-horsepower LS3 V8 engine and over 3,700 hours of custom details.
Ringbrothers INFECTED
Also from Ringbrothers, this 1970 Plymouth ‘Cuda named “INFECTED” is a celebration of the playful spirit and vibrant colours of Mopar’s heyday. Extensive fabrication and carbon-fibre components combine with a modern dynamic suspension and an 807-horsepower Hellcrate Redeye engine. The project took 5,600 hours to complete.
CALTY Land Cruiser ROX
Redefining open-air adventure, this innovative concept, conceived and crafted by Toyota’s Calty Design Research Team, revives the spirit of iconic topless Land Cruisers. We still prefer the 4Runner TRD Surf Concept, which looks like way more fun.
Ultimate Tailgate Tundra
If you love football, Toyota provides a unique tailgating experience with the Ultimate Tailgate Tundra. An audio-visual powerhouse? You bet. This truck features five 55-inch TV screens and a spacious, 185-square-foot canopy.
UP.FIT Tesla Model S Plaid Pursuit
Unplugged Performance, through its UP.FIT division, unveiled the first Tesla Model S Plaid specifically designed for law enforcement applications. Cops will chase criminals with over 1,000 horsepower and a mind-blowing 0-100 km/h acceleration time of just 1.99 seconds.
Unplugged Performance Cybertrucks
In addition to the Model S, Unplugged Performance worked on a dozen Tesla Cybertrucks including special wraps, widebody kits and other customization packages.
ENEOS “Devil Z” Datsun 240Z
This Datsun 240Z was inspired by the anime manga series Wangan Midnight. The project is a collaboration between John Lau and designer Jon Sibal, a SEMA veteran who designed the Datsun’s muscular widebody appearance, also incorporating a Skillard custom front splitter and rear diffuser.
ENEOS 960 Renault Dauphine
Twenty-year Navy veteran Justin Cashmore’s extraordinary Renault was selected as the winner of the ENEOS x Pit+Paddock Show Car Contest. The racing-inspired carbon fibre widebody, which extended the car 22 inches wider than stock, might distract you from its mid-engined layout. Thanks to a United Motorsports tune, custom intake and exhaust, the 2.8-litre Volkswagen VR6 engine develops 230 hp.
EV9 ADVNTR
Built for serious fun, this Kia EV9 has been refined into the most adventurous SUV the brand has ever imagined. With custom front and rear facias, plus reinforced rocker panels for increased capability and character, the EV9 ADVNTR concept also features a 3-inch lift and a rugged tire and wheel combination to maximize the vehicle’s off-road capability.
