Team Hybrid Showed Up in a Big Way at SEMA 2023

No other import team has accomplished what Team Hybrid has at SEMA and beyond.

November 16, 2023

As they are known to do, our friends at Team Hybrid showed up at SEMA 2023 in spectacular fashion. Eight Team Hybrid vehicles were on site covering a lot of real estate in the Las Vegas Convention Center. Not only did they bring their usual A-game on the vehicle front, but they were impossible to miss with placements inside South, in front of Central and in-between North/West halls.

Team Hybrid didn’t just show off their exquisite rides. BFGoodrich also called on Team Hybrid to be the first import team to help them debut their newest performance UHP tire in South Hall. Set to launch in North America in 2024, the BFGoodrich g-Force Phenom T/A is an on-road, high-performance tire that required a display vehicle worthy of its SEMA unveiling. Team Hybrid President James Lin selected their 2013 Nissan 370Z for the high honor of showcasing this latest tire product that aims to open new doors in performance driving.

Not only that, NRG Innovations launched a co-branded Team Hybrid SEMA steering wheel in their booth that was installed on the 370Z in South Hall. These accomplishments speak to the performance levels Team Hybrid vehicles reach in all aspects, and it’s why they’ve kept reaching new heights for almost 29 years with no signs of stopping.

No other import team has accomplished what Team Hybrid has at SEMA and beyond. They bring the best out of every build bearing their name, consistently representing every product they use to the fullest. The AMSOIL logo is usually front and center on their rides, letting spectators at every event know vehicles of this caliber rely only on the best oil.

Check out the SEMA 2023 builds below for a glimpse at what makes Team Hybrid the best import team.

So just why is it that Tiffany Stone is Into Jeeps

And who is Tiffany Stone I guess is the first question?

Lindsay Premo|Feb 17, 2021

Spot Tiffany Stone at any event and you know you’re in good company.

Her infectious enthusiasm and likability draw attention no matter if she is at an American Rally Association race or at King of the Hammers, where we recently caught up with her.

It’s no wonder we chose her for our February Company of Enthusiasts feature.

How Tiffany Stone got her start

Stone started out as an umbrella girl for Toyo Tires.

She then transitioned to Chrysler as a presenter, where she learned about the history and heritage of the Chrysler corporation.

Eventually she entered the off-road scene as an event host for TORC races, which led her out west into the desert. There, she immersed herself in the world of Ultra-4 trucks and developed her passion for building off-road vehicles.

See more on her story below.

When catching up with Tiffany Stone at King of the Hammers, we asked her to give us a few #TStoneRules to live by.

Check out some of our favorites below.

#81) Your fears are just a state of mind. Don’t ever let them define you. You define your fears!

Traveling along with the Trail to Sema in 2018, Stone found herself driving her Jeep along the Moab Rim, a trail that’s not for stock vehicles or inexperienced drivers.

Stone used this experience to help conquer her fear of heights and fuel her adrenaline.

#36) When someone tells you to suit up for the job, you suit up. Never miss an opportunity to grow.

Whether riding in a pace truck or pre-running with a T1 team during King of the Hammers, Stone is up for the challenge. She never misses an opportunity to immerse herself in the job at hand to learn and grow.

#20) When some of your happiest moments are spent at the race track, you know you’re doing something right.

And that does seem to be where Stone is her happiest. From Crandon to Portland International to Hammertown, you’ll find her slaying interviews and bringing you all the behind-the-scenes action.

#1) You’re awesome. Remember that.

No explanation needed.

Up next for Ms. February is the Mint 400. Stay tuned to our Instagram stories to catch her in action!
