SEMA 2013: Hot Cars In the Vortech Booth

Vortech Superchargers is one of the most reputable companies in the business of creating forced induction systems for a variety of vehicles. Their superchargers can also be adapted to fit a variety of applications when put in the right hands.

At this year’s SEMA show, Vortech had some very cool cars featured in their booth running the gamut from the traditional domestic muscle cars they’re known for to Asian and even European imports.

1966 Imperial

With over 3,500 hours in the build, this 1966 Imperial was drawing all kinds of attention at the SEMA show. The car features a third generation Viper V10 engine wearing a Paxton supercharger kit (Vortech and Paxton are part of the same company). A TCI Transmission 6X six speed transmission does it’s best to send all that power to the rear wheels.

2008 M3

ESS builds supercharger kits for a variety of vehicles, including the BMW M3. For this wild Liberty Walk wide-bodied 2008 model that supercharger kit is based around a Vortech V3 supercharger. Proving that Vortech superchargers are versatile and able to be used on a variety of applications. ESS handles all the tuning for the kit making sure it’s reliable while still producing great power.

FR-S

If there was one car that was giving the Mustang a run for it’s money as hottest car at SEMA, it had to be the Scion FR-S. Christian Coujin’s creation in the Vortech booth was definitely a head turner, and garnered a lot of attention all week long.

Coujin added a Vortech V3 supercharger because he says admittedly the FR-S doesn’t have as much power as many of the cars it competes with from the factory. Wide-body fenders, massive wheels, a huge spoiler, and a low suspension all add to the performance of this car.

Top Notch

Gary Watson, owner of Creations n Chrome built Top Notch as the ultimate Fox-body Mustang. We’ve run numerous features on this car already, but Top Notch was the second highest powered car in the Vortech booth with a Vortech JT-Trim blower feeding an FRPP aluminator engine under the hood.
