2019 SEMA Cruise Highlights

By Dave Ashton

When it comes to giving an overview of all the fantastic performance vehicles at the 2019 SEMA show, there’s nothing like just sitting back and watching the SEMA cruise or even a bunch of highlights. The SEMA cruise lets you see the majority of vehicles coming in and out of the show in quick succession. No in-depth detail on each vehicle, but nevertheless, great eye candy.

In this regard, the below videos cover the SEMA cruise, along with an extended video of the cruise leading up to the Ignited after party.

As for the latest and greatest American vehicles and muscle cars at the show, the 2020 C8 Chevrolet Corvette Convertible was on display. By convertible, that means a hardtop version, as the soft top version has been ditched. An LT2 6.2-liter V8 with a base level 495 horsepower will come from the now supercar and on initial impressions, this is one tasty number.

Another tasty offering from the bow tie guys, comes in the form of the 2020 Chevrolet Corvette C8.R. This is the first proper mid-engined Corvette racer, which was displayed this year with a silver and yellow livery, inspired by the Aerovette and CERV of old.

Ford were also there showing off a few of their offerings in the form of the Ford and Webasto Lithium Mustang Prototype. Its stated to have an equivalent of 900 horsepower from a 800-volt Webasto battery system, but being fully electric, we’re burying our heads in the sand and pretending this one doesn’t exist.

Onto happier notes, California Pony Cars have souped up a 2019 GT Fastback, to create the ultimate GT. A Ford Performance supercharger kit has been added, along with a Borla exhaust system and custom panels.

There was also the Shelby GT500 Dragon Snake Concept, which is a step up from the Shelby GT500, which produces over 800 horsepower, with loads of upgrades and the standout feature being a gigantic rear wing.

Lots more to come from SEMA in the coming days, so stay tuned.
