“While vehicle aesthetics have always played a crucial role in the automotive aftermarket, this award recognizes the intricate engineering that transforms a vehicle into a masterpiece of design and functionality,” said Chris Standifer, SEMA project manager of recognition programs. “It also sheds light on the technical brilliance behind the build and provides a platform for engineers to showcase their transformative innovations.”
To be considered for the award, builders must upload a photo, video, description of the engineering content included in the build and the location of the displayed vehicle at the SEMA Show into their submission. Entries are being accepted until Wednesday, October 25, at this link.
The SEMA Best Engineered Vehicle of the Year Award winner will be announced at SEMA Central (Booth #10001, Central Hall) on Thursday, November 2, at the SEMA Show.

LAS VEGAS, NV (10.11.23) – The SEMA Show, October 31-November 3 in Las Vegas, is a true five-senses experience, showcasing thousands of the latest automotive products and technology alongside several features delivered by some of the industry’s biggest names.
Of course, there will be 2,200-plus exhibitor booths teeming with new products (view the up-to-date floorplan), but the SEMA Show’s projected 160,000 attendees can also prepare for the familiar tire-smoke, adrenaline and excitement as world-class activations return not only to the Las Vegas Convention Center (LVCC) halls but also to dedicated areas outside the LVCC.
Below is a sampling of what is in store outside of the SEMA Show for attendees during all Show hours:
Shell has announced it is again joining the SEMA Show with the Shell Performance Unbound experience. The company invites SEMA Show participants to step into two interactive locations, the Shell V-Power NiTRO+ Booth #81059 and Booth #81125, to get up close and personal with the likes of Scott McLaughlin and many others.

OPTIMA Batteries is slated to once again bring the action to Las Vegas! For context, in 2008, OPTIMA Batteries created the Ultimate Street Car Invitational Challenge, which pitted the world’s highest-performance street cars and trucks against each other in various contests. In 2021, building on the event’s momentum, competitors, for the first time, completed a timed segment called the Peak Performance Challenge, which tested a vehicle’s ability to accelerate and brake at the SEMA Show. Competitors at the SEMA Show also had their vehicles evaluated by a set of judges in the Lingenfelter Design & Engineering Challenge. At the 2022 SEMA Show, OPTIMA expanded its footprint to host additional parts of the Ultimate Street Car Invitational in the Bronze Lot during Show hours. Adding to the tire smoke in 2023 will be celebrity driver appearances and demonstrations, as well as amazing project vehicles from OPTIMA. The OPTIMA Village is shaping up to be one of the most action-packed parts of the SEMA Show–you don’t want to miss it!
Last year, the SEMA Show introduced a ground-shaking collaboration with the Motorcycle Industry Council and its marquee market expansion program, Ride With Us. The popular activation will return to Las Vegas, offering a free introductory motorcycle riding experience for anyone who’s thought about or wanted to try riding a motorcycle but has yet to have the opportunity to do so. The immersive experience provides everything you need to experience the thrill of two wheels. With a certified Motorcycle Safety Foundation Coach, you’ll go over the basic operation of a motorcycle. The team will provide everything you need: gear, bike, coaches and fun! Ride With Us has traveled across the country, giving first-ride experiences to hundreds of participants aged 16 and up. Motorcycle Safety Foundation-certified coaches help riders get geared up and then guide them on a motorcycle at their own pace. Cinnamon Kernes, who leads the Motorcycle Industry Council’s Ride With Us program, shared, “We are excited to return to the SEMA Show and help Show attendees just how fun and rewarding it can be to ride a motorcycle. Our unique format is one of the best ways to start your motorcycle journey, as we provide the safety gear, the motorcycles and the coaches. All you need to bring are the smiles.”
The beloved SEMA Overland Experience moves to an outside location this year to showcase the many products and solutions in the environment they were designed for. With many similarities and connections to off-roading and adventure travel, overlanding has strong roots in Australia and South Africa, with its popularity in the United States exploding over the past decade. Buyers at the 2023 SEMA Show will now be able to view products and vehicles tailored explicitly for overlanding in the expanded SEMA Overland Experience area. The specialized exhibit will include dozens of customized vehicles with fully popped-out tents, survival accessories and portable kitchen systems, all displayed among various exhibitors supporting the growing overlanding market.

Feature Vehicle Displays
Across the SEMA Show
The SEMA Show is renowned for the innovative parts and accessories displayed on Show vehicles representing every industry niche, from cars to trucks to powersports.

Located throughout the outdoor areas of the SEMA Show, the displays act as extensions to Show booths, connecting attendees with exhibitors and product creators. For 2023, the SEMA Show app features a scanning function that allows attendees to quickly capture product and exhibitor information from the feature vehicles displayed throughout the Show.
SEMA Show management is dedicated to making the event as successful and worthwhile as possible for all. Registration is still available online for $120 through the event date.

AUBURN HILLS, MI (10.10.23) – Alps Alpine North America, Inc. is now shipping the Alpine OPTIM™6, a 6-channel Hi-Res Sound Processor with Automatic Sound Tuning.
Following the launch of the Alpine OPTIM™8, which debuted a powered, 8-channel processor with Automatic Sound Tuning, the OPTIM™6 offers a nearly identical feature set in a smaller, 6-channel configuration and no built-in amplifier. This intentional design positions this product as a starting point for the customer looking to easily integrate and elevate the performance of their factory sound system or be a means to build or add to an amplified aftermarket sound system.
“The competitive edge of the OPTIM™ line is its versatility,” said Gregg Thomas, Director of National Sales at Alps Alpine North America. “The OPTIM™ products are for any customer who walks in the door wanting better sound. The OPTIM™6 takes this idea a step further by offering an easy integration and sound tuning piece at a more approachable price point.”
In addition to its versatility, the OPTIM™6 continues in the quest to simplify sound processing. A simple, self-guided tuning process via the OPTIM™ IOS app (available for iPhone/iPad) or PC app with the KTX-CSP1 External Mic kit (sold separately) quickly and precisely measures the vehicle’s interior. This innovative Auto-EQ software analyzes the vehicle’s acoustic environment and intelligently adjusts to “optimize” the audio output for the vehicle and provide the best possible listening experience.
The Alpine OPTIM™6 PXE-C60-60 is available now for $399.95 and can be purchased at Alpine Authorized retailers and Preferred Online Stores. Please check the store locator on http://www.alpine-usa.com for details.
