SEMA annually recognizes four vehicle models that specialty-equipment manufacturers believe are the best platforms for accessorization and that showcase the year’s coolest products.

The awards are presented on the first day of the SEMA Show based on the total number of vehicles chosen for display in exhibitor booths at the annual event. Each booth vehicle represents a vote by the exhibitor. The SEMA Award honors are presented in the categories of Hottest Car, Hottest Sport Compact, Hottest Truck and Hottest SUV.

“The SEMA Show has always been the premier event where the newest and most innovative automotive aftermarket products and trends are seen first,” said Chris Kersting, SEMA president and CEO. “With the SEMA Award, SEMA exhibitors recognize the vehicles they consider the top enthusiast prospects for the coming year.”

The 2014 SEMA Award was presented to the Ford Mustang as Hottest Car; the Honda Fit as Hottest Sport Compact; the Chevrolet Silverado as Hottest Truck; and the Jeep Wrangler as Hottest SUV.

The first-ever SEMA Battle of the Builders competition will be featured on the Velocity network in a one-hour television special set to air Sunday, March 8, at 8:00 p.m. (EDT). The program features the top-10 builders, their vehicles and their journey through the inaugural competition. More than 125 vehicle builders and car customizers entered the contest, and the top 10 were selected by three of the top automotive magazine editors—Sam Du from Super Street, David Freiburger from Hot Rod and Fred Williams from Peterson’s 4 Wheel & Off-Road.

The finalists voted among themselves to determine who would be named the winner of the competition. The top three finalists and winner were announced at the first-ever SEMA Ignited event that took place at The LINQ Promenade in Las Vegas after the close of the 2014 SEMA Show. Tune in to the Velocity Channel on March 8, at 8:00 p.m. (EDT), to get a look inside this brand-new competition and see who was named the winner of the SEMA Battle of the Builders.
