SEMA 2014: Part Three

Words by Tim Wong

The sheer number of cars and variety among them is a sight to behold at SEMA. From the restomod American classics to the modified imports, the show is something you can spend endless days going through the show and still not see everything. Inside and outside, the Las Vegas convention center is littered with cars everywhere.

The Vibrant S2000 that was supposed to compete in Formula Drift last year. I’m not sure if it actually ever made it as it was still under construction after the season had already started.

Toyota had a couple interesting cars like this Camry “Sleeper” drag car. It’s really more of a funny car at this point than a sleeper.

The FT-1 concept that’s been going around, but this was the first time I actually got a chance to see it in person.

_MG_1271

_MG_1270

It’s definitely a good looking car, but I doubt it was stay this way when it comes to production. I remember what happened to the FRS concept.

BBI Autosport always impresses when it comes to Porsche 911s.

This 1985 Carrera was amazing. The 1976 930 Turbo deck lid, RUF CTR Yellowbird front bumper, and fifteen52 x Magnus Walker ’52 Outlaw’ wheel are just some of the details that make this a prime example of a restomod 911.

Nearby Magnus Walker had a couple of his Porsches at the Mobil 1 booth. One finished and one in progress.
