Sema 2017

It’s almost time for SEMA, which means it’s time for car builders big and small to show off some of their most over-the-top, tricked out rides. Ford is headed to the Las Vegas Convention Center this year with a trio of customized Focus RSes and a Focus ST, each of which is dripping with personality.

The annual SEMA show in Las Vegas is the place to go for accessories for customizing cars to your heart’s content. For as long as I can remember the extreme cars on display at the show have been over-the-top muscle cars, hot rods, and just about anything else you can pack a blown V8 into.

I imagine that the way the engine swap first came about was when some dude racing his car blew the engine and couldn’t afford to put the engine meant for it back under the hood. He found what he could afford, crammed it inside, then hot rodders heard about it and boom.
