Toyota Dream Build Challenge Cars Don't Disappoint: 2012 SEMA Show
Extensively previewed prior to their 2012 SEMA Show debut, the Toyota Celebrity Dream Build Challenge vehicles did not disappoint on the floor in Las Vegas.
Of the four projects, Antron Brown’s Dragquoia stole the show. The SUV turned drag car is wild and surprisingly looks fitting thanks to its massive 21.5-inch wide rear tires and TRD-supercharged powerplant with nitrous.
Kyle Busch’s Toyota Camry gave owners a good look at what could be done to America’s best-selling car to stand out from the crowd, while the “Tekked-Out” Prius certainly lived up to its billing with plenty of ultra-high-tech goods in the cabin.
Finally, the Off-Road Tundra was a huge hit with the truck crowd, showing off the versatility it has to offer with its 5.7-liter, TRD-supercharged V8.
