There are traditional motor shows, and then there's SEMA. The 'Specialty Equipment Market Association's' annual event showcases the biggest and best of the modified car world, and it kicks off next week.
Held every year at the Las Vegas Convention Centre, the SEMA show sees manufacturers team up with tuners and besapoke bodystylers to showcase new production models with a bit of a twist. At SEMA 2016 there's a big presence from US carmakers as always, but this year the Koreans are getting in on the act with a variety of cars from none other than Hyundai.
We'll be on the ground bringing you the finest and craziest show concepts from SEMA this year, but for now here's a preview of what we already know will be on display.
2016 SEMA show - A to Z
Chevrolet Malibu and Cruze Blue Line concepts
Probably the most subtle debuts at the 2016 SEMA show, these two home-market Chevrolets show off what could become a new trim variation in the US. The 'Blue Line' models feature matte blue painted wheels and tinted windows. The Malibu features tweaked suspension, while the Cruze gets a performance air intake, uprated exhaust and beefier brakes.
Ford Fusion Sport
Among a host of debuts Ford will be showcasing two Fusion Sport concepts at SEMA although we know the Fusion better as the Ford Mondeo. The most striking show car is the Fusion Sport Ballistic by Webasto Thermo and Comfort North America. Both Fusion models receive bodywork upgrades and tweaks to release more power from the 2.7-litre Ecoboost V6.
Ford Focus RS and Fiesta ST
Ford ups the ante even further on its hot hatchback range, with an array of modified versions of the Focus ST, Focus RS and Fiesta ST. Highlights include a Focus RS uprated by Roush to produce 493bhp, while Tucci Hot Rods has also doubled the output of the stock Fiest ST with a raft of upgrades.
Ford Mustang and F150
Ford has two very different V8 powered models at SEMA as well. The Mustang and the F150 pick-up will both be shown in various guises with different tuners contributing. Ford will show a stock Mustang fitted with the brand's performance pack, alongside an MRT Mustang with extensive chassis revisions and an 825bhp supercharged Mustang built by Speedkore Performance Group.
Four F-150s will be on display at SEMA, with the wildest called the Era Thr3 and equipped with a supercharged 750bhp 5.0litre V8. There will also be some wild paintjobs and kitted-out loadbays to draw in the crowds.
Hyundai Santa Fe
Hyundai is bringing along not one but two modified Santa Fes at SEMA 2016. The first was created by Rockstar Performance, with features such as a 3.3litre V6 modified with nitrous injection and 35-inch specialist off-road tyres.
The second Santa Fe is as far from an off-road version as possible. Created by Bismoto, this family SUV features a monstrous 1,025bhp from a heavily modified 3.8-litre turbo V6. Power is sent through the rear wheels, while the whole car has been dropped and features a race livery.
Hyundai Veloster Gurnade
Described as a race-ready version of the now defunct three-door coupe, the Gurnade Veloster gets completely redesigned bodywork, lower suspension, serious-looking alloy wheels and a custom rear spoiler. There's no clue what's under the bonnet yet, however.
