The unveiling of VW's three R GT cars at SEMA '05 caught most people off guard. We knew about them but very few people had actually seen them in the flesh. Well, this time around things are going to be very different. We already have spies camped outside VW's Californian design studios and we're in contact with several tuners that are building cars for the show.

We'll be giving you sneak peeks of these cars in the months leading up to SEMA and we're starting with this one. It belongs to Tein, the Japanese suspension manufacturer that builds the clever in-car adjustable suspension systems we've *** and tested (et 1/06 and 7/06).

Traditionally Tein builds a car to showcase its equipment, and last year they contributed to the arrival of the new Civic (sorry, I said a bad word!) at SEMA '05 after they were selected to create one of Honda's (and again!) show cars.

We threatened to douse the Tein offices in sake and set it on fire if they ever did that again, so SEMA '06 will see the Tein GTI breaking cover.
