Las Vegas set for SEMA expo Viva Gas Vegas - the baddest car show on the planet!
If you like your motors big, bold and brash, then Las Vegas will be the place to be next week for the baddest car show on the planet!
The American city will be revving up for SEMA, the world's biggest car modifying expo, which takes place there from November 4-7, with some of the craziest new American rides on display.
From Herbie to the Delorean, the best screen cars: The top ten car-actors in film and TV history!
Limitless performance will be mixed with colourful packaging - from 390-horsepower monster trucks to Dodge Challengers with 900 hp, as well as an 800-hp Bentley from Japan. Viva Gas Vegas!
The Brabus marque will represent the German auto industry at the SEMA fair. The Bottroper Mercedes specialists will show off the brand new 4x4 GLK.
It is called the ‘Brabus Widestar’, and is fat and chunky with wide-set mudguards. Brabus is making a big secret of the engine performance of the Widestar, which is a sure sign that it's impressive.

Specific power figures are still being withheld, but Hurst claims the car will produce 500-plus horsepower (373+kW). Participating dealers will get the cars early next year, available in a four-trim range, labeled as 'stages'. Some of the features that will be shared across the lineup include Hurst shifters and five-spoke alloy wheels.
Exactly what level of equipment each will feature will remain to be seen at SEMA, but the Stage 1 through Stage 3 vehicles will be targeted at a price range of about $10,000 to $20,000 above MSRP, reports Edmunds, putting the overall vehicle cost around $50,000 to $60,000 once added to the $37,995 base price of the SRT8. Stage 4 cars will wait until later in 2009, and will be special-order only with a range of unique colors and options.
Already Saleen has introduced its line of aftermarket superchargers for the Challenger, and Dodge itself has said the 2009 model will feature a blower to boost power. The factory-special drag race package car is an example of what can be done when the factory gets involved in making a truly intense modified Challenger, but the Hurst model aims at a streetable, somewhat more tame, design.Specific power figures are still being withheld, but Hurst claims the car will produce... more

Powered by an 8.4L all-aluminum V10 engine rated at 600hp (447kW) and 560lb-ft (758Nm) of torque, the Challenger SRT10 Concept also gets a Tornado Red paint job and a carbon fiber trunk lid. Bilstein shocks improve handling while upgraded brakes help bring the big car to rest from speed. Inside, the car gets a sampling of carbon fiber accents and, like the Viper, a red push-button engine starter mounted in the dash.
In a nod to the classic 1970 HEMI Cuda, the Dodge Challenger SRT10 Concept wears a 'shaker' style hood, though this modern version is made entirely from carbon fiber to save weight.
Two more SEMA Challenger concepts will also be hitting the show floor: the Blacktop and the Targa. While not exactly new, the Challenger Targa is a full-blown race car that took to the twists and turns of the Targa Newfoundland this year. Nicknamed 'Samantha', the green Challenger features a 392 Hemi V8 rated at 540hp (402kW) and 490lb-ft (663Nm) of torque. A Mopar-developed chin-spoiler helps keep the front end planted at speed, while a unique hood feeds air to the big V8. A Tremec six-speed manual, revised rear-end gearing and upgraded Stop-Tech brakes round out the Targa package.
The Blacktop is revealed only as a sketch thus far, hinting at a black-on-black race-inspired Challenger that also takes the best from the tuner world to heart. With massive 22" Dodge Viper wheels and a custom Mopar body kit, the car is sure to get noticed on the street. A special cat-back dual exhaust and revised suspension tuning mean the car will sound and steer like it looks as well. The interior has been enhanced with Katzkin leather seating finished in bright red plus a Mopar Kicker audio system for premium sound.
