Honda Booth at 2017 SEMA Show: Crushing it with Race Cars (and one bad ass truck!)

By Brian Gillespie and Aaron Gaghagen

We took a trip to the 2017 SEMA Show and we were pleasantly surprised to find what could be the best display Honda and Acura have ever done. EVER. Gone were the carpet and the typical setup with the “car of the year” being modified by three or four builders/marketing companies. Even though the quality of those previous builds were high quality, they started to feel like the same thing year after year. There was a definite motorsports theme going on here and we couldn’t be happier. We made this video highlighting most of the vehicles that were on display in the Honda booth. Checkout the crazy rear wheel drive race prepped NSX GT3 with its all carbon fiber body. It was insane. Of course, they brought out the big dog and had the new Acura ARX-05 Le Mans Prototype there too. There was also the Pikes Peak International Hill Climb NSX and TLX A-Spec, Tomo Racing’s Civic Si and… Much more! So for a little Honda Racing (worksafe) porn, click on the video below.

We will be getting back with more information on these vehicles so stay tuned.

Nothing but Hondas. That’s exactly what you’ll find at VTEC Academy. Not because some of the other automakers’ cars that inherently drain the life out of the driving experience bore us, but because Soichiro Honda’s passion for motorsports and his company’s ability to express that in the machines they produce make a whole lot of sense.

VTEC Academy is a place for Honda fans who feel the same way and who seek the most accurate technical information and commentary to continue that very legacy and make whatever Honda it is that they drive just a little bit better. And faster.
