ENEOS to Unveil Exclusive Car, Host Kyle Larson, Steve Arpin and Akinori Ogata at SEMA 2015
Schaumburg, IL (PRWEB) October 20, 2015 -- ENEOS is excited to announce its appearance and special activities taking place at SEMA 2015. To kick off the show, ENEOS will unveil the ENEOS Autofashion S14, a unique vehicle created exclusively for SEMA in partnership with Autofashion USA, a custom vehicle shop based in San Diego, CA. ENEOS will also host its partner drivers Kyle Larson (HScott Motorsports with Chip Ganassi No. 42 for NASCAR XFINITY), Steve Arpin (Loenbro Chip Ganassi Racing No. 00 for Red Bull Global Rallycross, or GRC) and Akinori Ogata (No. 63 for NASCAR Camping World Truck Series) at their booth.
The ENEOS Autofashion S14 is based on a 95 Nissan 240 S14.
“Using a Rocket Bunny kit, we’re taking a new type of vehicle and giving it an old, retro Nissan look,” says Freddie Fernandez, owner of Autofashion USA and builder of the SEMA vehicle. “It will have a 2011 Chevy Camaro LS3 V8 6.2 liter engine with a supercharger, and a GM TR6060 Six-Speed transmission.”

This unique vehicle will feature a final ENEOS wrap to complete the look and will be powered using ENEOS Sustina 5W-30 (recommended for superchargers) and ENEOS Gear Oil products. ENEOS is manufactured specifically for Asian OEM standards, although its low viscosity, all-synthetic and high quality composition make ENEOS a top choice for most vehicles, particularly those with performance in mind.
ENEOS will be unveiling the custom car at 10:00 am PST on Tuesday, November 3rd at booth number 24829 at SEMA, which is known as “...the premier automotive specialty products trade event in the world,” and located at the Las Vegas Convention Center in Las Vegas, Nevada. It will be on display in the booth for the remainder of the show. Visit SEMA site
On Wednesday, November 4th, from 10:30 am - 11:30 am, SEMA attendees can also meet ENEOS drivers Kyle Larson, Steve Arpin, and Akinori Ogata, who will be appearing at the booth during that time. Arpin will race later that day at GRC Las Vegas.
