SEMA 2017

PLYMOUTH SUPERBIRD HELLCRATE - This Superbird recreation was developed by Mark Worman's Graveyard Carz firm especially for Mopar's SEMA stand. It started life as a Plymouth Road Runner (Worman noted he wouldn't have customised an original Superbird), and features Mopar's new 697bhp 6.2-litre supercharged Hemi 'crate engine', dubbed the 'Hellcrate'. The colour, since you're wondering, is FJ5 Limelight Green.

The Specialty Equipment Market Association Show is held annually in Las Vegas. That's fitting because, like the city itself, it's a bold, bright, unashamedly gaudy version of a typical motor show.

What started as a trade show to unite manufacturers and buyers has grown into a vast gathering of the performance and customization industries – with several major manufacturers having a presence.

After recent 'traditional' motor shows were focused on future concepts such as electrification and autonomy, there was something refreshingly old-fashioned about this year's SEMA Show. Everywhere you turned, big engines were proudly being crammed into big cars and trucks, with their builders loudly trumpeting their big power outputs.

Yet, look closely, and even SEMA showed signs of the future. A small but notable number of electric cars could be found, and several stands were trumpeting advanced driver assistance and autonomy systems.

With more than 2400 exhibitors and 1500 vehicles spread across 2.7million square feet of space both inside and outside the Las Vegas Convention Center, there were plenty to take in. Check out our gallery above for some of the most notable, interesting and just plain weird motors on display.
