Ultimatecarpage.com update (11-02-06)
Dear Ultimatecarpage.com visitor,
For many decades customizing has been an essential part of American motoring; whether it's a 'chopped' 1930s Ford or just a set of different wheels, the Americans take great pride in their personalized 'rides'. The manufacturers of these aftermarket products gather annually in Las Vegas for the annual SEMA (Speciality Equipment Market Association) Show. Yesterday the doors opened for the fortieth edition. Joining the hundreds of booths with specialized products are the mainstream manufacturers, who proudly display highly modified versions of their (current) production cars. Today we would like to take a closer look at some of these striking one-offs. At both the Dodge and Ford stands the glory days of the American muscle car were celebrated with the HEMI engined Dodge Challenger Super Stock and Ford Mustang BOSS 302 respectively. One of the most interesting vehicles was on display on the General Motors stand; the EcoJet Concept. Commissioned by talk show host and prominent collector Jay Leno, this remarkable machine combines a 650 bhp EcoDiesel fueled Turbine engine with a Corvette Z06 chassis and current Cadillac styling elements. Volkswagen and Volvo took the hot-hatch approach with the Golf based 400 bhp R GTI Concept and the new C30 based 300 bhp HS3 Thor Concept. Mitsubishi used the SEMA Show to unveil their brand new contender for the gruelling Baja rally; the Baja Raider. At the Honda stand the new limited edition, 200 bhp Civic Mugen Si Sedan took centre stage.
