Some of the best show cars in the world can be found at the annual SEMA show. With thousands of vehicles exhibited each year, you're almost guaranteed to find something you've never seen before. Here are 10 wild and wacky vehicles we came across at the 2015 SEMA event.
Every exhibitor is fighting over showgoers' attention, whether it's with an eye-catching show car, freebies, or a gimmicky booth theme. Mishimoto, makers of high-performance radiators and other parts, had an interesting solution this year: sticking a freaking tank in their booth. Although technically not a tank by the traditional definition, this Abbot self-propelled artillery had about the same effect as the genuine article on attendees. Hailing from Cold War-era U.K., the Abbot features a 105mm gun with a maximum range of roughly 9 miles and a rate of fire between six and eight rounds per minute.
This unique three-wheeler was built by "Horny Mike" Henry of the TV show "Counting Cars." The nickname might help explain the many bullhorns that decorate the trike—22 on the seat and six on the handlebars in addition to a dragon skull. More bones can be seen on the gas tank and rear fenders, which cover tiny go-kart wheels.
Many different engines have found their way into hot rod engine bays, but we're willing to bet this is the only hot rod with a Ferrari-built 2.9-liter V-8 from a Lancia Thema. The engine resides in a Ford Model A frame and is fed by two giant Turbonetics turbochargers. The builder wants to optimize the engine for high rpms and expects it to sound like no other hot rod on the planet.
