2016 SEMA Show

Although the high today is supposed to be 77 degrees, this time of year in Las Vegas it usually takes a while to warm up and mornings are usually pretty cool.

But next week, inside the Las Vegas Convention Center located on Paradise Road just two blocks from Las Vegas Boulevard, the atmosphere will be anything but cool, with hundreds of custom cars on display out in front of a building that will house the largest automotive aftermarket parts show in the world.

But in recent years, the SEMA show has also become an important venue for automotive manufacturers. Here, carmakers can show off everything from their original equipment accessories to one-off, production-based, performance vehicles.

This afternoon, Acura released images a vehicle, somewhere in-between those two extremes, that will be formally unveiled during the show at its booth in the far southeast corner of the Central Hall during a press conference next Tuesday afternoon.
