The refreshed 2026 Toyota bZ offers up to 338 hp (252 kW / 343 PS), which is a massive 124 hp (92 kW / 126 PS) increase over its terribly named predecessor.

That power boost lets the top-spec model range-topping variant to rocket from 0-60 mph (0-96 km/h) in 4.9 seconds and travel 278 miles (447 km) on a single charge. To highlight that newfound performance, Toyota is bringing out the bZ Time Attack concept.

Set to debut at the SEMA Show next week, the track-focused model features an aggressive body kit with a prominent front splitter and new side skirts. They’re joined by extended fenders, a sporty rear diffuser, and a massive rear wing.

Besides the body kit, the crossover has been lowered 6 inches (152 mm) while its track has been expanded by the same amount. This gives the model an aggressive stance, which is amplified by 19-inch BBS Unlimited wheels that are wrapped in Continental Extreme Contact Sport 02 tires.

Adding to the drama is a custom tri-color paint scheme that blends metallic and pearl hues.

Given the racing ambitions, the interior has been stripped of non-essential equipment. The result is a relatively bare cabin with a chromoly roll cage and OMP HTE-R racing seats. We can also see a new steering wheel and a shifter that has been relocated to the dash.`

Toyota didn’t say much about the powertrain, but confirmed the concept has a dual-motor all-wheel drive system that has been tuned to produce more than 402 hp (300 kW / 408 PS).

Aside from upgraded motors, the concept has a revised suspension that features TEIN coilovers and springs. They’re accompanied by an Alcon braking system that uses Hawk pads.

The 2025 SEMA Show is coming up soon, and Hyundai is bringing something big – literally.The automaker has teamed up with the YouTube duo BigTime to showcase a project that blurs the line between tech showcase and trail rig.

Automotive personalities Jeremiah Burton and Zach Jobe helped Hyundai create what you see here, the Ioniq 9 Off-Road Concept. Think of it as a junction between EV luxury and off-roading prowess.

Set for display inside SEMA’s Future Tech Studio, this Hyundai concept makes an immediate impression. It features bright yellow paint, a lifted suspension, unique wheels, and knobby all-terrain tires. Hyundai’s largest electric SUV doesn’t look bad with what appears to be a trail-ready stance.

A custom light bar and auxiliary lighting boost nighttime visibility and provide a bit more functionality to a vehicle clearly intended for the trail.

Underneath all of this is an Ioniq 9 Calligraphy. It features dual motors, all-wheel drive, 422 horsepower (315 kW), and 516 lb-ft (700 Nm) of torque. Notably, Hyundai hasn’t said if there are any mechanical modifications.

“This concept takes IONIQ 9 into new off-road terrain it has yet to explore,” said Sean Gilpin, Chief Marketing Officer for Hyundai Motor North America. “Its aggressive lift, all-terrain tires, and rugged design inspire both innovation and customization—the hallmarks of any successful SEMA concept.”

For Burton and Jobe, who rose to fame through their fun, informative automotive builds, the collaboration marks a fresh spin on the EV world.

“EVs have come a long way, so getting a chance to put our own spin on an off-road-themed IONIQ 9 is pretty cool,” said Burton. “We themed this IONIQ 9 off of our 1977 vintage cabover we call Bud. This new-tech-meets-vintage look gives it character and capability.”

BigTime will highlight the SUV across its social media channels. Fans will get the chance to see behind-the-scenes footage of the build.

The partnership highlights how Hyundai is willing to be very flexible when it comes to marketing a luxurious flagship electric SUV. It doesn’t have to be all champagne and leather. Sometimes it can be dirt and light bars.
