full portfolio of performance products, including race bikes, HR-V project vehicles, and the
debut of the Ridgeline Desert Race Truck. The Ridgeline Desert Race Truck will offer a first

Ridgeline” also marks Honda’s re-entry into Honda Performance Development (HPD)-powered
factory off-road racing.
Also within the Honda display will be four Honda HR-V project vehicles, built in partnership
with several highly creative U.S.-based automotive tuning houses. The refreshed 2016 Honda
CR-Z sport hybrid coupe, complete with aggressive new exterior styling details and
significantly improved interior, will also be highlighted in Honda’s 2015 SEMA showcase, along
with an accessorized version of the all-new 2016 Honda Civic Sedan and 2016 Honda Pilot.
Further demonstrating the broad range of performance products and racing activities that
only Honda can boast, Honda Powersports and HPD will also showcase many of their wares,
including the Pioneer 1000 Side-by-Side in matching desert race livery, the Moto GP Race
Replica RC213V-S, the Rahal Letterman Lanigan Racing IndyCar display, and much more.
