Venom F5:

We saw the teaser video before Hennessey Performance unveiled the Venom F5 hypercar. But now it’s here at the SEMA show. Hennessey is shooting for the F5 to outdo the Venom GT’s speed of 270mph and maybe even be the first street car to hit 300mph.

Dodge Polara:

Famous car and motorcycle builder, Jesse James, unveiled his own vehicle at SEMA this year. His 1964 Dodge Polara is one cool build. And the old-school Mopar has some serious power. It’s equipped with a twin-turbo Hemi and some other custom details include Nitto NT05R tires and a restored interior. It’s a one-of-a-kind build for sure!

AMX Javelin:

The Ring Brothers are notorious for bringing cool builds to the SEMA show. And this 1972 Javelin AMX they built to commemorate Prestone’s 90th anniversary is no exception. The car was basically a time capsule from 1977 down to the 8-track and CB radio. It houses a 6.2-liter Hellcat V8 with a 4.0-liter Whipple and is tuned by a Holley Dominator ECU. The brothers got the build done in 12 months and unveiled it here at the SEMA show.

Mustang Boss 302:

Turn’s out Iron Man’s Tony Stark isn’t the only one with an eye for nice cars. Actor Robert Downey Jr., who plays Stark, debuted his1970 Ford Mustang Boss 302 and it is one awesome custom build. The actor commissioned SpeedKore to customize his Boss but he was reportedly very involved in the build. It’s a one-of-a-kind car decked out with interior leather, a “vintage air” air conditioning system, and old-school gauges. Under the hood is a 5.0-liter V8 with a Stage 2 Ford Performance-Roush Supercharger. Definitely a cool ride.
