Mustang Wins 4th ‘Car of the Year’ Award at SEMA 2018
Ford’s flagship coupe also clinched the ‘Sports Coupe of the Year’ award for a second time this year.
Ford Mustang just won “Car of the Year” award at the 2018 Specialty Equipment Market Association (SEMA) show in Las Vegas.
“We are honored that SEMA Show exhibitors have bestowed Ford with these prestigious awards,” said Hermann Salenbauch, global director, Ford Performance. “We make a point of embracing the aftermarket and appreciate this endorsement from the SEMA community as we strive to keep our best-selling nameplates among the most customized vehicles around the world.”
Mustang, the world’s best-selling sports coupe and America’s best-selling sports car, received its sixth award from SEMA when it was named “Car of the Year” for the fourth time. Mustang has been named “Sports Coupe of the Year” by the auto show twice.
“Ford vehicles serve as great platforms for personalization, evident by the three SEMA Awards announced today,” said Chris Kersting, SEMA President and CEO. “Regardless of whether drivers are choosing a car, truck or sport compact vehicle, they can be confident in knowing there’s a tremendous range of options for customization when they select a Ford vehicle.”
Ford’s presence at the show remains the largest of any automaker with more than 50 vehicles on display, including a large collection of custom builds at its stand. This is the eighth year for the “Ford Out Front” performance demonstration track, annually a lead attraction at the show.
