Pennzoil Returns To The SEMA Show With “Dare To Perform” Experience

Attending the SEMA Show is every gearhead’s dream, so Pennzoil is here to take you on a behind-the-scenes experience for the industry-only trade show. The “Dare to Perform” experience in the Pennzoil booth showcased state-of-the-art vehicles, new motor oil technology, and special guests from the different facets of the automotive industry.

Some of the 13 showstopping vehicles that were spotted at the Pennzoil booth included:

• The Hennessey Performance Venom F5 Coupe, a road car with a 6.6-liter twin-turbocharged V8 Engine filled with Pennzoil 10W-60 Full Synthetic motor oil, designed to attempt the world’s fastest production car record. 
• The iconic Pennzoil Yellow Submarine, which Pennzoil and Shell have tested the racetrack limits with Team Penske for decades, including powering the “Yellow Submarine” through historic victories at the Indianapolis 500. 
• Chelsea DeNofa’s Ford Mustang Formula Drift Car has 1,111 horsepower, more than 8,500rpm and more than 75-degrees of steering angle. The RTR Spec 5-FD rides on the fine line of chaos and coordination while driving sideways at speeds of over 100mph and inches from competitors. Pennzoil Synthetics keeps the Ford Performance/Roush Yates RY45 455 CID V8 revving to the moon lap after lap.
