The Ford Focus is no stranger to SEMA awards. Its lineup of sedan and hatchback variants has won four repeat awards. ST and RS Focus variants specifically receive the highest acclaim.
Ford Mustang
The Ford Mustang was named Car of the Year in this year’s SEMA showoff. Previously, the Mustang has won both Car of the Year and Sports Coupe of the Year categories in past SEMA shows.
Ford F-Series
The Ford F-Series pickup truck lineup was named the Truck of the Year for the eighth time. It’s an impressive feat considering SEMA has only been handing out awards for nine years total.
