SEMA 2014

Local Motors is about to commission a tuned version of its 3D-printed car – 12 of them actually. At this year's SEMA Show, it opened up a new contest that will see 12 tuners customize an all-new model.

Rally driver Ken Block has revealed the car that he will be piloting in his upcoming Gymkhana video, and it's a big departure from those featured before. Instead of using a modern hatchback, Block's new "Hoonicorn" car is a 1965 Ford Mustang with an 845 hp (630 kW) V8.

We've already looked at all the wild custom cars of the SEMA Show, but that was only half the story. For roughly every neon-lit, overpowered car on display, there was a jacked-up truck, makeshift off-road camper or heavily armored 4x4. Check them out in our gallery.

Believe it or not, the Toyota Camry was one of the most interesting debuts at the 2014 SEMA Show. Not just any Camry, this particular model features a supercharged Tundra V8 tuned to 850 hp.

Gizmag spent the better part of last week touring the halls of the 2014 SEMA Show in Las Vegas. It's a jungle of the flashy and impractical, with everything from pristine classics preparing for the auction block to outrageous one-offs that will never be seen again.

The Lexus RC F hasn’t been around for long, but tuners are already beginning to use it as a blank canvas for their crazy creations. This year’s SEMA show in Las Vegas played host to three tuned coupes, each with its own take on Lexus’ latest creation.

LUX Motorwerks has provided a interesting contribution to this year's SEMA line-up by boosting the output of the Kia K900’s 5.0-liter V8 from 420 hp to around 650 hp with two boot-mounted turbochargers.

SEMA is just around the corner, and the flow of concepts being released continues to grow. Mopar has revealed its lineup for the show, which ranges from a Dodge Challenger muscle car to a Jeep Wrangler off-roader.

When it introduced the vehicle earlier this year, Ford said the all-new F-150 was its "toughest, smartest and most capable ever," a line it's still eager to reiterate. With a few aftermarket tweaks, it can effectively add "most thrilling" to that list of superlatives.

Chicago-based customization firm Toca has revealed a twin-turbo, 600 hp performance version of Hyundai's Genesis sedan dubbed "Steel Phoenix" ahead of SEMA in Las Vegas next month.

Chevrolet has revealed a set of SEMA showcars designed to highlight the range of personalization options available for new-car buyers. The SEMA specials range from a hotted-up Sonic hatchback to a blacked-out Chevy Impala.
