The ’17 Acura NSX is almost here and, for SEMA members, this is your chance to get a sneak peak during this very exclusive measuring session scheduled for July 28 (the same day as the SEMA Garage Open House). Don't miss your opportunity to not only get hands-on with this radical new supercar, but also end your day by networking and relaxing with hundreds of your industry colleagues and celebrities.

Twenty-five years after the debut of the original NSX, the all-new ’17 Acura NSX brings a “new sports experience” to the supercar segment. Challenging conventional beliefs about supercars, the new NSX features a radical new twin-turbocharged 75-degree DOHC V6 engine with a 9-speed dual-clutch transmission (DCT) coupled with a three-electric-motor Sport Hybrid system. The result is a groundbreaking new NSX that puts the driver first in every aspect of its design.

Prior to the enactment of the Defend Trade Secrets Act, the only mechanism for companies to enforce valuable trade secret rights was through civil actions under state law. The absence of a uniform federal standard forced companies to navigate a patchwork of different state laws and courts to bring actions against entities that had stolen or otherwise misappropriated their proprietary trade secret information.

Located adjacent to the association’s headquarters in Diamond Bar, California, the SEMA Garage is hosting an industry open house, July 28, 2016, from 5:00 p.m.–9:00 p.m.

With a recently remodeled training and conference center, an upgraded emissions lab and new state-of-the-art equipment, the SEMA Garage is hosting an industry open house, July 28, 2016, from 5:00 p.m.–9:00 p.m. Located adjacent to the association’s headquarters in Diamond Bar, California, the SEMA Garage is an industry resource that helps automotive parts and accessories manufacturers to develop products quickly, easily and cost-effectively.

During the SEMA Garage open house, SEMA members and automotive specialty-equipment industry professionals will be invited to tour the 15,000-sq.-ft. facility. Highlights include an installation center, a photo studio, a training facility and an emissions-compliance center recognized by the California Air Resources Board (CARB) as a certified automotive emissions testing laboratory.

“Since opening the SEMA Garage just a few years ago, SEMA members have embraced the facility and all its capabilities,” said Mike Spagnola, SEMA vice president of product development. “The strong industry support has allowed us to expand and improve on how we can assist with the product-development process. We’ve upgraded the equipment and have added some amazing members to the team. The SEMA Garage open house is a chance for the industry to see all that we have to offer.”

The facility includes two vehicle lifts, a portable coordinate measuring machine (CMM) for 3D scanning, a 3D printer for fast prototyping, digital race scales for the most precise vehicle weight measurements, a dynamometer for power output measurements, a photo studio for promoting finished products and a training facility that can be used for media or rep meetings.

There is no cost to attend the event, which includes complimentary food, drinks, music and giveaways in a clubhouse atmosphere. To learn more about the event or the SEMA Garage, visit www.sema.org/openhouse.
