Other than Honda’s VTEC and Detroit muscle car tuners, there is a huge segment of the customizing market that likes custom built and modified pickups. To feed the hunger of that segment, Ford will come to the 2010 SEMA show with a some nicely ‘tricked’ out F-150s.

“These trucks sell imagery across the board,” said Melvin Betancourt, Ford specialty design manager. “Customers in the truck world want to go off-roading, or at least have the image that they can, or have a truck they can cruise in. We have trucks that fit everything in those categories.”

The Ford F-Series is the best-selling line of trucks in the marketplace for 33 years running and the most customized trucks in the $31.85 billion aftermarket industry.

Like last year, the Hyundai Genesis Coupe will be highlighting the Korean automakers SEMA show display for the 2010 show. One of the most significant debuts for Hyundai will be the Gogogear Racing Genesis Coupe, which the company says highlights the cars racing and high-end performance capabilities.

“The Genesis Coupe is designed to convey that Hyundai can not only match the best from Asia, Europe and America, but beat them,” said Ali Arsham, owner, Gogogear Racing. “With its potent V6 engine and rear drive chassis, the Genesis Coupe has the ability to beat the current top guns that feature turbocharged four-cylinder engines and front wheel drive. It has ample power, terrific handling, and great reliability that become even more potent with the modifications we’ve planned.”

Changes to the Genesis Coupe will prepare the model for the track. Power from the V6 has been increased to 330-hp with a maximum torque of 280 lb-ft by adding an AEM air intake, Magnaflow exhaust system and ARK Performance headers. The Gogogear Racing Genesis Coupe will also get Ground Control suspension tuning with ARK Performance shocks, springs, coilovers and QA1 bearing along with a light weight Spec racing clutch.

egmCarTech schreef:2011 Ford Explorer to get pimped out at 2010 SEMA, along with others

Ford’s Fiesta will be taking over the 2010 SEMA Auto Show with a lineup of other FoMoCo models including the all-new 2011 Ford Explorer, Lincoln MKX, Ford Edge, 2010 Ford Taurus SHO and more.

“It’s so new and reinvented, and the styling is standout from the inside out,” said Craig Patterson, Ford Explorer marketing manager. “Explorer is the perfect choice for people to accessorize. Those who want to customize it are starting from a great base that is extremely well received, and that’s where the attraction lies.”

“We designed three different images for the Explorers at SEMA,” said Melvin Betancourt, Ford specialty design manager. “The new Explorer resonates as a modern SUV, so the modifications play off all the great technology and features that the vehicle is equipped with.”

Funkmaster Flex and Team Baurtwell are back to show off their take on teh new Explorer highlighted by three-piece forged billet wheels, which are complemented by 24-inch Cooper tires. Baer brakes provide the stopping power.

Another Explorer concept, designed by Galpin Auto Sports, takes a vehicle with luxury appointments and makes it into an ultra-luxurious ride that even James Bond would enjoy. Using the character as their inspiration, the Galpin team used 24-inch wheels, custom silver paint on the exterior and modified exterior light treatments to convey that image.

The custom interior shows off its luxury side with a leather-trimmed headliner that has suede running down the center, a look that’s replicated on the seat inserts. An iPad pops up from the second-row console, and is viewable in either landscape or portrait mode.

“This is a luxury, high-end vehicle that serves multiple purposes,” said Tedros Mengiste of Galpin Auto Sports. “The Galpin Auto Sports Explorer is at home going off-road or transporting you to exclusive events. It meets your discerning expectations, and does it with style and substance.”

CGS Performance Products Ford Explorer:

CGS Performance Products’ take on Explorer shows off what a luxury vehicle for an active customer looks like. The look runs throughout the monochromatic silver Explorer, and is completed by two carbon fiber mountain bikes on the roof rack.

“This SUV is all about outdoor adventure and doing it in comfort,” said Casey Scranton, president, CGS Performance Products. “This customer can use the vehicle every day and will have no problem taking it camping or kayaking on the weekends.”

The luxury details are evident in the built-in video screens in the headrests, 22-inch silver wheels and the complete custom leather interior that’s designed to resemble the links on a watch band. A CGS cat-back exhaust provides more power, a throatier sound, and even improved fuel economy.

After all, they are the people others rely on for automotive expertise and recommendations.”

Ik baal er nog steeds van dat ik vorig jaar toen ik toch in Las Vegas was het vooraf niet wist...

Het is allemaal inderdaad niet gehinderd door ook maar enige vorm van goede smaak, maar Amerikanen durven tenminste echt volledig over-the-top te gaan. En dan niet op auto's die ook in normale vorm al onbetaalbaar zijn, maar op gewoon alledaagse modellen.
