R-Tuned Toyota C-HR at SEMA

Nov 2, 2017

The SEMA show in Las Vegas is always full of amazing cars that we can only dream about! The Toyota booth this year is featuring a modified C-HR with a lot more power! The production Toyota C-HR became available for sale earlier this year as the perfect compact car for those looking for the qualities of a SUV in a car that can fit practically everywhere!

The production C-HR is offered with 144 horsepower, front-wheel drive, and a continuously variable transmission, which doesn’t exactly equal a speedy combination. This year for SEMA, Toyota partnered with DG Spec to produce a very quick crossover. The 2.4-liter massively turbocharged four-cylinder engine delivers 600 horsepower, enough for the C-HR to go from 0 to 60 miles per hour in just 2.9 seconds. This revamped C-HR also includes a five-speed manual transmission to get the power down to the front wheels and in terms of suspension, it’s got triple adjustable shocks and a three-way adjustable rear sway bar.

If all of this doesn’t make sense, just know that this C-HR turned in quicker lap times at the 2.5-mile “Big Track” at Willow Springs than a Porsche 911 GT3 RS, GT-R and McLaren 650S Spyder. Now that’s impressive!
