SEMA 2015

The all-new Jeep Wrangler Red Rock Concept looks like the type of package that Jeep would have revealed at the Easter Jeep Safari. Although Jeep saved it for SEMA, the package is inspired by the 50th anniversary of the annual Jeep lovers' gathering in Moab.

We knew the Toyota Ultimate Utility Vehicle would be one of the most delightfully odd vehicles of the year the minute we heard about it months ago, and now that Toyota has released all the details, we find it better than expected.

The annual SEMA Show kicked off on Tuesday in Las Vegas. For a few days, the auto industry's focus drifts away from reality and into a fantasy world of big, wild, extreme builds of all shapes and colors.

Few things can elicit the kind of drooling amongst American muscle car fans that a Dodge Challenger GT with all-wheel drive can. Unfortunately the Challenger GT AWD being shown at the Specialty Equipment Manufacturer’s Association show in Las Vegas is just such a concept.

Mazda is showcasing two new MX-5 Miata concepts at the SEMA show in Las Vegas. The concepts, based on the 2016 MX-5, are the MX-5 Spyder and the MX-5 Speedster.

John Hennessey has stuffed another 207 horses into his Venom GT in a bid to ensure it remains one of the world's most powerful supercars. Gotta keep up with the Koenigseggs and Bugattis, after all. It's all part of the 2,875 horses that Hennessey will storm SEMA with next week.

The Korean auto industry is getting its wheels dirty this November. Kia will roll to SEMA with no less than six adventure concepts. Each concept will celebrate a different region of the United States, and based on the Pacific West and Deep South versions, they'll be a whole lot of messy fun.

The Hyundai Tucson is about to get tougher. The Rockstar Tucson will be joined at the upcoming SEMA Show by an even more equipped Tucson: the Adventuremobile, a Tucson that rides over the terrain in its path, stays the night and does it all again the next day.

With a little help from Rockstar Performance Garage, Hyundai has transformed the cuddly Tucson into a convincing all-terrain machine. The ruggedized Tucson will roll into the SEMA Show next month, and we'd be willing to bet it will travel by way of rough, angry Nevada desert.

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.
