Driven Speed Shop to Reveal Revolutionary International Scout III at SEMA 2025
Driven Speed Shop to Introduce the International Scout III
Driven Speed Shop, a recognized leader in the custom automotive industry, prepares to unveil its latest creation, the International Scout III, at the prestigious 2025 SEMA Auto Show in Las Vegas. Scheduled for debut on November 4, this stunning vehicle represents not only superior engineering but also honors the heritage of the International Scout series, particularly the original 1969 model.
The International Scout III, designed from the ground up, incorporates less than 2% of the original metal from the classic 1969 Scout. This reflects a commitment to modernize while preserving traditional elements. With its awe-inspiring design and performance capabilities, it showcases the blend of classic charm and contemporary innovation that Driven Speed Shop is renowned for.
Performance that Astonishes
Under the hood, the Scout III is powered by a Wegner Motorsports-built 6.2-liter LS3 V8 engine, enhanced by a 2.9-liter Whipple supercharger. This powerhouse generates an astounding 1,000 horsepower, making it not just a pleasure to look at, but also a thrill to drive. The vehicle features a custom Roadster Shop RS4 chassis and a robust four-link suspension system, ensuring smooth handling and a ride experience that defies expectations.
CEO Mikey Dascoli emphasizes the importance of honoring the lineage of the Scout while envisioning its potential. He explains, “We wanted to honor the heritage of the Scout while completely re-imagining how this truck could have looked, leveraging the power of hindsight and modern technology.” This sentiment drives the crafted details throughout the Scout III, creating a vehicle that embodies both past and future innovations.
Handcrafted Excellence and Innovation
The build process has involved over 7,500 hours of meticulous craftsmanship, with a significant portion dedicated to hand-fabricating metal components. The creation of an entirely new body and roll-cage complements the use of advanced manufacturing techniques such as 3D printing and precision machining. This unique combination allows Driven Speed Shop to maintain the highest standards of quality while being forward-thinking in their approach.
In addition to its comprehensive upgrades, the Scout III features custom parts and products from various industry leaders. Forgeline wheels and a unique branding design contributed by award-winning designer Miles McDermott further enhance the vehicle's aesthetic appeal and performance features.
Experience the Unveiling
The highly anticipated unveiling will take place on November 4 at 11 a.m. at the Las Vegas Convention Center, specifically at the Roadster Shop booth #22487. Attendees can witness the unveiling of this remarkable vehicle alongside eight other custom builds as part of Roadster Shop's '9 Builds, 9 Builders, 9 Reveals, 1 Booth' event.
Driven Speed Shop has garnered numerous accolades, including the prestigious Good Guys Street Machine of the Year award and top awards at the Grand National Roadster Show. With a consistent record of excellence and innovation, Driven continues to set the bar for bespoke automotive builds.
