    As it turnes November, the car producers and tuners of this world gather in the desert of Las Vegas to show everybody what they were working on last year.


    When car styling, bling bling and extraterrestrial dimensions are layed on thick: then it is Sema-time.


    The fair in Las Vegas shows once again, why tuners all over the world are longing for the opening in downtown Convention Center.


    From Retro – like this 1969 Charger R/T with a less understated intake and...


    ...some huge accessories like 30 inch rims till...


    ...some drivable scurrility like this motorized trolley for the big shoppers: Sema proves that nothing is unthinkable in the world of car-tuners.


    And of course it’s an image-question for producers to provide some hot stuff themselves. Tuning workshop ARK turned this Hyundai Veloster into a rally-car. New skirts at the front and the rear, wheel arch broadening and a distinctive rear spoiler take care of a racing outfit. The four cylinders are empowered up to 210hp thanks to a turbocharger with intercooling.


    A Honda Civic SI Coupe was equipped with a Turbonetics turbocharger by tuner Bisimoto. The Civic runs on racing-fuel E85R.


    Five Axis stripped a Lexus GS and built in a new braking system and new springs, a bodykit and a custom-made exhaust system.


    In this Impreza WRX you could experience a whole new world of sound, thanks to Kicker Audio. Two woofers are plugged at a Clarion CX400 next to six independent speaker systems and eight subwoofers, which are powered by 12 Kicker-amplifiers.


    Next to this impressive Asian performance the US-tuning would not stand down. Suspension-specialist H&R could tune a legend: the Ford Mustang GT 5.0 with the project name „Legend“. H&R could get the most out of the Mustang; in this case the most is 640hp.


    6,2 Liter with dry sump oil system work underneath the bonnet of this Chevrolet Carlisle Blue Grand Sport Concept. Six gear manual transmission, magnetic selective ride control and Goodyear-tires take care of an optimized road holding.


    But also apart of this the performance-level at the Sema show is high: there is this nice female car decoration as well as...


    ...the frequently emerging celebrities like rally-driver and YouTube-legend Ken Block.


    But for sure this is not all: rims in a demonic spiky look were exhibited next to...


    ...slightly modified fire trucks,...


    ...high flying monster-vans and...


    ...low riding retro-cars which would have pleased even Elvis. Las Vegas is still in it for some tuning madness.
