Toyota at Sema 2012: four cars, four teams, one winner

N ascar driver Clint Bowyer and his team from RKM Performance created the 'Tekked-Out Prius'. With numerous electronic modifications, the hybrid became a high-tech model crammed to the brim. The highlights undoubtedly include the 17-inch touchscreen (with Windows 7) on the passenger side, the two 12-inch tablets in the backrests of the front seats, the camera system that replaces the standard mirrors, the fiber-optic light strip along the Center console and the JBL audio system with two amplifiers and 16 speakers. Shorter springs and shock absorbers, a set of alloy wheels and the eye-catching paintwork make the tuning recognizable from the outside.

Toyota Sequoia as a family dragster

Nascar driver Kyle Busch is a little sportier and his team from
Detroit Speed ​​& Engineering. The black painted Toyota Camry gets a wide body kit in the 'Rowdy Edition' and has redesigned front and rear aprons. Light metal rims in body color and a rear spoiler. The diffuser and the powerful exhaust system underline the sporty impression. In the interior, the bucket seats from the Lexus IS F were installed.

The current championship leader in the NHRA Drag Racing Championship, Antron Brown, is also hoping for the $ 50,000 victory bonus. Together with his team, he transformed the Toyota Sequoia into the 'DragQuoia'. With its compressor-fired 650 HP engine, the extensively revised chassis and the four racing seats, the SUV becomes a kind of family dragster, which is also visually recognizable as such thanks to its huge rear spoiler, the large power dome and the mighty wide tires /p>
