Jazz it up! Nine mighty modified Honda Fits invade the 2014 SEMA Show

At the 2014 SEMA Show, the Honda Fit is definitely a go.

Nine different modified subcompacts have landed on the showroom floor in Las Vegas, and they range from track spec racecars to comfy metropolitan style cruisers.

The biggest eye-catcher of the bunch is the olive-colored Tjin Edition, a slammed wide body that was quickly voted ‘Fan Favorite’ in the 2015 Fit Performance Project. In fact, it was a leading reason why the Fit won the ‘Hottest Sport Compact’ SEMA Award overall.

In addition to visually ornate creations, several racing versions of Honda’s beloved hatchback are being displayed at SEMA as well.

There’s the turbocharged track car by Bisimoto, the cabin of which wears a Recaro racing seat and not much else, a B-spec racecar prepped by Honda Performance Development (HPD), and a handful more. Six teams in total designed vehicles for SEMA this year, including Spoon Sports USA, Kenny Vinces, and MAD Industries.

Alongside MAD’s yellow-windowed Fit, Honda is presenting a color-matched version of Honda’s cuddly minibike, the lovable Grom.

HPD isn’t just showing off its cars this year, the performance specialist is showcasing several crate and racing engines as well. The powerplants are designed for sanctioned racers in North America, and they’re available for anything from a go-cart to an Indy Car.

You can relive the unique development process of the custom Fits on Honda’s Tumblr page.

Rivian has finally unveiled the R2, its long-awaited attempt at a more affordable electric SUV. The new vehicle may not be available just yet, but fans of Rivian's design aesthetics and feature set are already looking forward to being able to order the new car. The R2 is targeted at being a more affordable take on the electric SUV and will sit alongside the flagship-tier R1S.

Let's get this out of the way right now: The R1S is most likely going to be a better vehicle than the R2. Rivian isn't replacing the R1S with the R2 — it's releasing the R2 as a more affordable alternative, and there will be some compromises when buying the R2 over the R1S.
