Another successful SEMA Show in the books. My tenth visit to the largest automotive aftermarket show in Vegas, SEMA is a trade only show filled with thousands of competition cars and car builds, and this year, an insane 140,000 people.
I have over 90 images of the show on my Instagram feed, which you can view here.
A quick overview of my cars at SEMA 2015….
I was recently commissioned by one of the top custom shops in Canada to create a render of a build which is currently in progress at Stone’s Speed Shop is based in Chilliwack, BC
This cool low riding Chevy C-10 truck is currently in build and just armed with a few Facebook images and a spec, was able to create this rendering which will be shown alongside the in progress build at the British Columbia Classic and Custom Car Show in Abbotsford 17-19 April.
Stone’s Speed Shop owner,Kevin Stone, is also locally known for some amazing metal sculptures (see below), a real artist and craftsman.
The first Andy Blackmore Design Newsletter is now online. Designed to showcase my work to fans and teams, the newsletter will be an occasional email. The first issue is directed at drivers, teams and sponsors to ensure they are ready for the challenges which 2014 will bring.
The next newsletter will follow in December and have a Holiday/Christmas theme complete with a little bit of a challenge thrown in!
There after, the newsletter will be less regular so it doesn’t feel up your in boxes.
Subscribe to all future newsletters

Nick Fousekis, Director, Motorsports Marketing and Events at Falken Tire in North America recently commissioned me to create some quick Photoshop renders to showcase his latest project. A Porsche 911 with a GM DV8 engine! The build is supported by Andy Blackmore Design, Falken and HRE amongst others and will be based on a 996 chassis with various body and aero changes to make the car look like a road going 997 GT3 RSR!
Various elements on the car have been cleaned up including the side air intakes and various fixings while the build will be devoid of a ALMS style rear wing.
More detail and a website soon.
I took my now annual trip down, into the States for Formula Drift this past weekend. After a successful debut with Team Need for Speed in 2010, when I won the ‘Best Looking Car’ with Mad Mike Whiddett for the Team Need for Speed Mazda RX-8, I’ve always had a presence in the series.
I have posted a number of images from SEMA on my Facebook Fan Page (don’t forget to ‘Like’). Most of the OEM’s have been shown extensively on the big news and Blog sites such as Autoblog.com, Jalopnik.com and Speedhunters.com so I have focused on some of the other cool machines.
You can view the images here.
Andy Blackmore Designed vehicles, once again triumphed in the 2011 Speedhunters Car of the Year Awards.
The Ford Mustang RTR-X won the Muscle Machine of the Year, while the top 3 Pro-Drift Cars all had Andy Blackmore Design vehicle liveries, Matt Powers Nissan S14, Darren McNamara’s Toyota AE86 and Mad Mike’s Mazda RX-7, whose design is a development by Mad Mike of the Mazda RX-8 livery Andy designed in 2010.
The RX-8 won Formula Drift Best Looking Car of the Year and Speedhunter’s Pro-Drift car of the Year in 2010.
The Team Need for Speed Mustang RTR-X which Andy designed with Vaughn Gittin Jr was unveiled earlier this week on the Ford Stand at the SEMA Show. The car looks stunning in the flesh.
Twins Turbo and Steen Chassis did an amazing job bring Andy and Jr’s vision to reality. AutoGuide.com said it was “Definitive showstopper”. The launch took place immediately after the Ford press conference. There were more people waiting by the covered RTR-X than at the main conference.
You can follow the build process and the debut of the RTR-X on Speedhunters and on our own detailed RTR-X post
Andy has recently been working with SPEED.com on a design study for the 2012 GRAND-AM Cars. The series has been working with teams for new ideas to improve the look of Grand-Am cars via a chassis update.
With his vehicle styling experience at McLaren, Yamaha, KWM, Arena and Electronic Arts, Andy was commissioned by SPEED.com to work on some proposals.
You can read the full article at SPEED.com and all read more about the actual designs HERE including a Corvette Version, showing how a GRAND-AM Car with more extreme styling. The designs also featured on The Speed Report on SPEED TV.
The GRAND-AM Design was well received and spread around the net quickly, creating quite a buzz on Facebook, Twitter and forums such as Ten-Tenths.com, to the official GRAND-AM and SPEED.com forums, the study has been positively received.
Endurance-Info.com and DailySportsCar.com (subscription)have also run stories on the study.
Andy has been working with Formula Drift race winner, Vaughn Gittin Jr, on this exciting new build over the past few months. The build is based off a 1969 Mustang Boss and will be built from a new Chassis, from scratch.
The car will make its debut at SEMA 2010, but you can follow the entire build process including livery voting here at Speedhunters.com.
The outline of the project was presented to Speedhunters earlier this month before a livery vote, showing a variety of designs. The Speedhunters voted in their thousands, literally and luckily our favourite design won. A Dark grey metallic base with Matt Grey elements and Sonic Green highlights. The Green is sure to be controversial, but the last thing we want to create is a bland design. This needs to stand out.
The original post on Speedhunters can be viewed here, while a summary of the build and design can be read here, on Andy Blackmore Design.
Thanks to Vaughn and Rod Chong for the opportunity to work on this unique project.
