Race Club Is Bringing Multiple SEMA 2026 Debuts to Las Vegas

Race Club is entering the final month before the 2026 SEMA Show with more than one debut in motion. This is not a single-car countdown. It is a coordinated push to bring distinct Japanese performance builds, fabrication work and partner hardware together in Las Vegas.

Multiple Race Club builds are heading toward SEMA 2026

The Race Club 280Z Road to SEMA build represents the classic side of the program: Datsun S30 proportions, modern engineering and a build process that respects the car while pushing it into a new chapter. The project has been documented through fabrication, powertrain packaging and the details that separate a display car from a complete performance build.

Alongside it, the Liberty Walk Nissan 350Z is becoming the modern counterpoint. The widebody package establishes the shape, On Fire Customs is moving the car toward paint, and custom-spec 18-inch Watanabe wheels are being developed to finish the stance correctly. Every major choice is tied to the same goal: a 350Z that looks resolved from every angle and carries Race Club's Japanese motorsport identity into the show.

The debut is bigger than the reveal photo

SEMA is where finished vehicles meet the industry, but the value starts long before the covers come off. Wheel fitment, body alignment, paint preparation, service access and presentation all have to work together. The final month is where hundreds of small decisions become one visible result.

Race Club's SEMA program also puts partner craftsmanship in context. Watanabe wheels are not being treated as a last-minute accessory. Liberty Walk bodywork is not being installed as a collection of disconnected panels. Musa Artwork's early visual direction, On Fire Customs' paint work and Race Club's own assembly and fabrication are being carried through as one complete build language.

SEMA 2026: November 3-6 in Las Vegas

The 2026 SEMA Show runs November 3-6 at the Las Vegas Convention Center. It remains the automotive aftermarket's largest concentration of new products, builders, manufacturers and media. For Race Club, it is the right stage to show how classic Datsun culture, modern Nissan styling and competition-minded fabrication can live in the same program.

The countdown is live

Over the next several weeks, Race Club will share the final push: paint, assembly, wheel fitment, completed details and the road to Las Vegas. The 280Z and Liberty Walk 350Z are not being rushed into generic show-car formulas. Each has its own identity, and both are being finished to make their SEMA debuts count.
