HRC performance parts will debut at SEMA Show 2026 in Las Vegas, Honda Racing Corporation USA announced on October 22. The November 3–6 event will also feature SEMA’s first Content Creator Corral and streamed NHRA interviews. For drivers, the key distinction is timing: the show reveal comes before planned retail sales in March 2027.
As of October 24, the announcements confirm initial applications, wheel dimensions and show locations. However, retail prices, measured lap-time improvements and NHRA’s interview lineup remain unannounced.
What HRC performance parts will be shown at SEMA 2026?
HRC’s first retail lineup covers two different jobs: performance-car wheels and SUV hardware. Visitors can see the announcement take shape at booth 24789 in Central Hall.
According to HRC USA’s official parts announcement, the range includes forged wheels and a Borla-developed cat-back exhaust. Meanwhile, separate prototypes preview possible future hardware.
| Part | Announced application | Confirmed detail |
|---|---|---|
| Forged performance wheel | 2023+ Honda Civic Type R; 2024+ Acura Integra Type S | 19 × 10 inches |
| Forged off-road wheel | 2026+ Honda Passport; 2023+ Honda Pilot | 18 × 8 inches |
| Borla-developed cat-back exhaust | Honda Passport and Pilot | Claimed flow increase up to 6%; ground-clearance increase up to 1.9 inches |
| Future-part prototypes | Retail applications not confirmed in the supplied announcement | Adjustable coilovers with camber plates, six-piston Brembo brake kit and short-throw shifter |
Crucially, the coilovers, brake kit and shifter are prototypes, not confirmed retail products. Their display does not establish a production date, final specification or dealer availability.
When will Honda HRC performance parts go on sale?
HRC targets March 2027 for sales through Honda and Acura dealers and Honda DreamShop. However, final performance and durability testing must come first.
The HRC performance parts 2027 rollout follows the company’s announcement of its retail-parts ambitions at SEMA in 2024. This year’s news moves that plan forward with an initial lineup and a sales target.
Still, March 2027 is not a confirmed delivery date for every individual component. The announcement does not settle part-by-part availability or retail pricing.
For prospective buyers, that means separating three decisions: what fits the car, what reaches production and when orders open. In particular, do not treat a prototype displayed beside a retail-line wheel as an equally firm purchase option.
Which Honda and Acura models will get HRC parts?
The announced performance wheel fits 2023-and-newer Civic Type R and 2024-and-newer Integra Type S models. Its stated dimensions are 19 inches in diameter and 10 inches in width.
However, dimensions alone do not establish a complete tyre-and-wheel package. Before ordering, drivers should check final fitment instructions and the recommended tyre specification for their exact model.
Meanwhile, the forged 18 × 8-inch off-road wheel targets the 2026-and-newer Passport and 2023-and-newer Pilot. The Borla-developed cat-back exhaust also serves the Passport and Pilot.
HRC claims exhaust-flow gains of up to 6% and ground-clearance gains of up to 1.9 inches, approximately 48 mm. Those figures describe flow and clearance, not a confirmed horsepower increase or faster lap.
Likewise, no measured vehicle lap-time improvement has been announced. Keep any acceleration or limit-handling evaluation to a closed circuit or suitable private venue. Our first track day checklist covers preparation before heading out.
Where is the Content Creator Corral at SEMA 2026?
The SEMA 2026 Content Creator Corral will occupy the Main Hall Annex. SEMA describes it as its first dedicated corral celebrating creators and their custom vehicles.
The official SEMA creator announcement names a varied group of builds:
- A Ford Mustang rebuilt in Lithuania.
- A BMW Z3 M Coupé.
- A Porsche Boxster converted into a Vale Automotive GT1.
- A Ford Escort RS Cosworth and a KVA Ford GT40.
- A Porsche 944 RS4 and a “2 Fast 2 Furious” Yenko Camaro.
Unlike the HRC display, this area centres on individual builds rather than a manufacturer’s forthcoming parts catalogue. Consequently, it gives visitors a different way to assess fabrication, packaging and the decisions behind a finished project.
However, the announced vehicle list is not a creator appearance timetable. Do not assume a particular builder will be available throughout the show.

How can fans watch NHRA coverage from SEMA 2026?
The NHRA SEMA livestream will carry interviews from the NHRA on FOX Stage at Central Hall booth 22331. NHRA says coverage will stream through NHRA.com and its YouTube channel throughout show week.
According to NHRA’s official streaming announcement, the interview schedule will follow later. Therefore, named guests and individual broadcast times are not yet confirmed.
For fans staying home, those streams provide a way to follow the NHRA stage remotely. However, they should not be mistaken for a confirmed broadcast of every SEMA display or presentation.
When is SEMA Show 2026, and who can attend?
SEMA Show 2026 runs November 3–6 at the Las Vegas Convention Center. The official show information describes it as trade-only, with public access on Friday, November 6.
Accordingly, general fans should distinguish Friday access from the trade attendance arrangements for the rest of the week. Check the applicable registration requirements before making travel plans.
For practical planning, our SEMA Show 2026 preparation guide covers visitor considerations. Meanwhile, keep the three preview locations separate: HRC and NHRA are in Central Hall, while the creator corral is in the Main Hall Annex.
How can drivers record drives beyond the show?
TripRank is an iOS driving and performance telemetry companion app. It records drives with GPS, captures routes and provides a per-trip Smoothness Score.
For drivers interested in reviewing their own driving, Pro unlocks aggregate stats charts and Apple Watch heart-rate analytics. However, drive telemetry should not be treated as proof of an aftermarket part’s advertised gains.
HRC joins the seven confirmed SEMA Show 2026 manufacturers, with displays spanning automotive performance, customization and powersports.
