SEMA Show 2025 doors finally creak open at 9 a.m. sharp, and the Las Vegas Convention Center explodes into a 2.4-million-square-foot frenzy of horsepower, hype, and half-finished handshakes.
I’m Chris Hamilton, editor-in-chief at Motortopia, still shaking yesterday’s setup dust off my boots while the first wave of 160,000 attendees floods the aisles.
Day One of SEMA car show 2025 was forklifts and frantic last-minute details; Day Two is pure, uncut automotive adrenalin, booths firing on all cylinders, new product drops every ten feet, and feature vehicles that look like they rolled straight out of a render.
Out in the South Hall parking lot, the outdoor displays are already cooking under the desert sun. Slammed square-bodies on 26s, lifted EVs with portal axles, and a lowriders with hydraulics ready for a music video.
Inside, the aisles are a blur, Belltech’s new OBS-bar kits on display, Legacy EV’s electric 1966 C10 drawing a mob. The smell? Fresh rubber, race fuel, and that unmistakable SEMA cocktail of coffee and ambition.
We’re chasing it all week: dyno runs, builder interviews, and the kind of under-the-radar gems that only surface when 2,400 exhibitors unload 3,000 new parts in one shot.
If you’re here, hunt us down, swap a story, grab a sticker, and let’s talk trucks. Day Two is just the warm-up. Stay locked; the real fireworks are still loading.
