Announced in mid-September 2023, the Specialty Equipment Market Association (SEMA) put forward a special new award to recognize a featured vehicle at the 2023 SEMA Show that showcases exceptional engineering. The SEMA “Best Engineered Vehicle of the Year Award” honors and celebrates a build that demonstrates quality engineering throughout the entire vehicle, or an aspect of the vehicle that goes beyond just physical appearance.
The first ever SEMA “Best Engineered Vehicle of the Year Award” goes to? … the ’23 Cobra Venom by Scorpion EV.
