In the following years many manufacturers, such as <a href="http://carscoop.blogspot.com/search/label/Chrysler/">Chrysler</a>, Citroen, NSU and Mercedes-Benz, to name but a few, tried to do away with the clutch, torque converter and/or gear level but electronics were still a long way from reaching maturity and the companies didn't persist with the concept. <a href="http://carscoop.blogspot.com/2012/11/master-shift-adds-paddle-shifters-keeps.html#more">Read more »</a>

Geneva, Tokyo, Detroit and <a href="http://carscoop.blogspot.com/search/label/Frankfurt%20Motor%20Show/">Frankfurt</a> are all nice and dandy for unveiling the latest production-intent models and outlandish concepts, but Las Vegas and its <a href="http://carscoop.blogspot.com/search/label/SEMA%20Show">Specialty Equipment Market Association (SEMA)</a> show is a different “beast” altogether. At SEMA, there is something for everyone; from subcompacts, pickup trucks and pony cars to lavishly made hot-rods, the latest bunch of supercars and anything and everything in between. <a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-UQv40i41_0I/UJhKJrOVsDI/AAAAAAAJ79U/LCHmctgOmLQ/s1600/SEMA-2012-Cars-526.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: right; float: right; margin-bottom: 10px; margin-left: 10px;"><img border="0" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-UQv40i41_0I/UJhKJrOVsDI/AAAAAAAJ79U/LCHmctgOmLQ/s200/SEMA-2012-Cars-526.jpg" width="130" /></a> The 2012 show was a real bonanza of thousands of modified vehicles and <a href="http://carscoop.blogspot.com/search/label/Tuning">tuning</a> products for anything you could possibly think of – and then some more. Since the event is not open to the public (the reason being, presumably, that it would have to last a couple of months or so…), images will have to suffice. <a href="http://carscoop.blogspot.com/2012/11/2012-sema-show-report-mega-gallery-part.html#more">Read more »</a>
