SEMA 2026 Reveal Schedule Is Out — and the Exotics Showed Up

Las Vegas week is almost here, and SEMA just published the map of who pulls the sheet first.

On 20 October 2026, SEMA News posted the official 2026 SEMA Show Vehicle Reveal Schedule. The show runs 3–6 November in Las Vegas. Times are Pacific, the list was current as of 20 October, and SEMA marks it subject to change. That is the ground truth. Everything below comes from that schedule — not from rumour boards.

For a shop that lives in carbon, aero, brakes, suspension, and the cars that wear them, SEMA week is less about souvenir stickers and more about what the aftermarket is willing to put on a stage.

Tuesday hits hard

Tuesday, 3 November, is the heavy day.

At 9:15 a.m., WD-40 stages a 2006 Lamborghini Murciélago at booth 24493. Same morning, Dynamat lists a 1967 Chevrolet Corvette. Meguiar’s follows at 11:30 a.m. with a 1956 Ford F-150 and a 2013 Aston Martin Vantage GT3 at booth 22357. Ringbrothers slot a 1965 Pontiac GTO. Jay Leno’s Garage has a “Rumblebee x Jay Leno” moment at 11:00 a.m. There are more: Speedmaster with CAL Automotive Creations, Dapper Lighting carbon and blacked-out debuts, a Cassar Performance 1971 C10, and a stack of restomods and trucks.

You do not need every booth number memorised. You need the pattern. SEMA’s Tuesday list mixes OEM-adjacent muscle, serious customs, and at least one mid-2000s V12 Lamborghini in a household-chemical brand’s booth. That last one is the screenshot that will travel through Filipino group chats before lunch in Manila.

Wednesday and Thursday stay selective

Wednesday, 4 November, is thinner on the published list but not empty. EMPI marks a 70th-anniversary Super Beetle road racer. Scoggin Dickey Parts Center brings “The Ultimate ’62 Bel Air.” At 2:30 p.m., Martech Corporation unveils the “El Loco Murciélago Kustom Batmobile” at booth 37139 — a second Murciélago-based moment in two days, this time deep in kustom territory.

Thursday’s published reveal, as of the 20 October sheet, is lean: Luxury Classic lists a 1968 Ford Mustang at 4:00 p.m. (booth 94011).

SEMA’s own copy frames the week as first looks across aftermarket builds, custom projects, and OEM debuts. The schedule above is what they put in writing. If a brand you care about — Akrapovič, KW, Brembo, Liberty Walk, ADRO, or a carbon house — stages something off this list, it will show up in exhibitor news closer to the gates opening.

What this means for owners here

Manila is not Las Vegas, and a Quezon City bay is not the SEMA floor. The useful link is product language. When a Murciélago, an Aston GT3, a first-gen Mustang, or a C2 Corvette rolls under lights with fresh aero, brakes, or suspension, the parts conversation that follows is the same one local owners already have: what fitted cleanly, what needed custom work, and what photographs better than it bolts on.

BVT’s day-to-day cars — GT-Rs, GR86/BRZ, Supras, Mustangs, C8s, Porsches, Ferraris, Lamborghinis — sit in the same gravity well as those reveals even when the exact booth car never lands in the Philippines. Watch the carbon pieces and the stance choices. Screenshot the booth cards. Ignore the hype captions until a manufacturer or tuner publishes a fitment sheet.

SEMA opens 3 November. The reveal clock starts Tuesday morning Pacific. Bring coffee. Bring scepticism. Bring a shortlist of the cars you actually care about — because the schedule just told you when a Murciélago and an Aston GT3 get their minute under the lights.
