2025 SEMA - Competition Vehicles

Front and center in the Honda compound was this year's NTT IndyCar Series championship-winning car. The Dallara DW12 chassis, with an IR-18 Aero Kit, is powered by a Honda HI22TT. The HI22TT is a 2.2-liter, six-cylinder aluminum alloy engine with dual overhead camshafts and twin turbochargers. The Dallara was driven by Alex Palou, who dominated the season with eleven podiums, of which eight were victories.

Dodge was one of the first manufacturers to join the newly formed NASCAR Craftsman Truck Series in 1995. However, the brand's first championship didn't come until 2001, which was followed by another Manufacturer's title in 2003. The highlight for the company was Bobby Hamilton winning the driver's crown in a Dodge Ram. Leaving the series in 2013, Ram will return next season with Kaulig Racing and drivers Brenden Queen, Justin Haley and Daniel Dye.

Corvette Racing entered two Chevrolet Corvette Z06 GT3.Rs in the 2025 IMSA WeatherTech SportsCar Championship. The No. 3 Corvette was shared by Antonio Garcia and Alexander Sims. The duo won this year's GT Daytona Pro category. The GT3.R model was built by Pratt & Miller. The aluminum monocoque chassis is powered by an LT6.R, which is a 5.5-liter naturally aspirated V8 engine. Bolted to the motor is an Xtrac P529 sequential manual transmission.

This is an Acura ARX-06, which competes in the Grand Touring Prototype division of the IMSA WeatherTech SportsCar Championship. The ARX-06 is powered by the Acura AR24e, a 2.4-liter V6 twin-turbocharged, double-overhead-camshaft engine. The chassis is a carbon fiber LMP2 monocoque. The No. 93 was campaigned by Meyer Shank Racing and driven by Regner van der Zande and Nick Yelloly, who finished fifth in the championship.

This beautifully restored race car is a Lola Mk1. Lola Cars was founded in Bromley, England, by Eric Broadley. The Mk1 is one of the company's earliest creations, which were produced from 1958 to 1962. The car's tubular spaceframe chassis was fitted with a 1,100-cc four-cylinder Coventry-Climax engine producing 80 horsepower. Bolted to the motor is a four-speed manual transmission. Depending on the setup, the Lola weighs 812 – 840 pounds.

The Porsche GT4R from Kellymoss was unveiled in the Hoonigan compound at this year's SEMA show. Porsche specialist Kellymoss used a Porsche GT4 RS Clubsport to create their GT4R. The car has been made lighter by incorporating changes such as an Akropovic titanium exhaust system, which reduces weight by thirty-five pounds, and a complete carbon fiber body kit. The team at Kellymoss has also made extensive changes and upgrades to the suspension.

Superperformance showcased its offerings at the SEMA Show. This is a reproduction of a race version of the 1962 Cobra Street Roadster. The Shelby Cobra 289 FIA CSX7000 is designed to serve as a track car that can be licensed and driven on public roads. This model features many modern upgrades; however, the transverse leaf-spring suspension has been retained to retain the driving feel of the 1960s.

On display in the Meguiars' booth was this 2017 Ferrari 488. It is owned and built by TJ Hunt. The Ferrari bodywork has been modified using an authentic 488 GT3 EVO Kit. This model uses a 3.9-liter twin-turbocharged V8 engine that produces 660 horsepower at 8,000 rpm. However, Hunt has replaced the original turbos with Pure 900 units. The suspension has been upgraded by Nitron, and the 488 is equipped with BBS E89 wheels.

Another successful Honda making an appearance at the SEMA show was the No. 93 Montreal Motorsport Group Honda Civic FL5 TCR. TCR is a global touring car category. In North America, these cars compete in the IMSA Michelin Pilot Challenge. They use a 2.0-liter four-cylinder turbocharged engine, which produces 300 to 350 horsepower. The Montreal Motorsport Group Honda was driven by LP Montour and Karl Wittmer. The pair finished third in the standings.

The Hoonigan compound included an array of eclectic vehicles, including the No. 66 Manley Motorsports Ford Mustang GT3. The Mustang is designed and developed by Ford Racing and Multimatic Motorsports to meet GT3 rules. The car is powered by a 5.4-liter naturally aspirated Ford Coyote V8 engine. The powertrain also includes a six-speed Xtrac racing transaxle. During the 2025 WeatherTech championship, the Mustang was shared by Robert Megennis and Jenson Altzman.

Toyota occupied a prime spot in the Central Hall. On display were many of Toyota's specialty vehicles. This Toyota GR86 Cup Car competes in a fourteen-race series. The cars are built by Gazoo Racing North America. A Bosch Electronic Control System manages traction control, the engine, and ABS. The Toyotas use a Sadev 6-speed transmission. Stopping the car is Alcon Brakes with four-piston calipers on the front and two-piston calipers on the rear.

Iron Eagle is a 1963 Chevrolet Corvette drag car that competes in the A/Gas category. The Corvette is equipped with a 451 cu.in. Big Block V8 Chevrolet motor built by Fulton Competition Engines. Bolted to the flywheel is a Soft Lok clutch by GForce. Power from the engine is transferred through a four-speed transmission, also from GForce. Mickey Thompson ET Drag Tires are used on the Corvette. The damage to the car occurred at Knoxville Dragway, which is documented on Facebook.

There were several Drag Cars in the Central Hall, including the 'World's Quickest Street Car.' Ned Dunphy's 2013 Viper GTS was the overall winner and record holder for the 2025 Hot Rod Drag Week. The original V10 engine has been replaced with a 572 cu. in. V8 engine by Pro Line Racing. The motor's induction system includes Twin Precision 102-mm turbochargers, delivering 4,000 horsepower. The entire package, including the driver, weighs 3,060 pounds.
