Taking dead aim at the driving enthusiast community, Fiat trotted out a sport version of the recently introduced Fiat 500. Legitimately tuned for the track, the Abarth (pronounced “ah-bart”) edition has 59% more horsepower and 70% more torque than the standard model.
One of the exciting things about the SEMA Show is that there always seem to be a few select vehicle models that stand out among all the others. The SEMA Award recognizes this phenomenon and is presented to the top trending vehicles in four categories: Hottest Car, Hottest Truck, Hottest 4x4-SUV, and Hottest Sport Compact.

It has been said that a rising tide lifts all boats. Well, the industry was buoyed appreciably in November at the 2010 SEMA Show, and I’d like to thank all who participated in once again delivering the industry’s most valuable annual business gathering.
Every year there are a handful of vehicles that become the stars of the SEMA Show. To celebrate these standouts, SEMA officials will announce three SEMA Awards, Hottest Car, Hottest Truck and Hottest 4x4-SUV for the very first time ever.

The final week of the SEMA Challenge
is in progress, and voters have one last chance to place their votes
for an opportunity to win a VIP trip for two to the 2011 SEMA Show. Fans have
been eagerly casting their votes over the last three weeks as to which
vehicles exhibitors will choose as the hottest car, truck and 4x4-SUV
on the market through the SEMA Award presentation.
Since SEMA officials announced the SEMA Award
earlier this month, there has been a lot of chatter about which
vehicles the exhibitors will ultimately choose to be the hottest car,
hottest truck and hottest 4x4-SUV of the Show. To determine the winners
of the SEMA Award, every single booth vehicle at the 2010 SEMA Show will be tallied, and the most prominent models will be recognized as the year’s top trend-setting vehicles.
Anticipation over the first-ever SEMA Award
is mounting, as the industry prepares to see which vehicle models SEMA
Show exhibitors will select as today’s hottest car, truck and 4x4-SUV.
Since the SEMA Challenge
launched on October 1, enthusiasts have been speculating as to which
vehicle models will emerge as the hottest car, truck and 4x4-SUV from
the SEMA Show.
