Built around the car-customization scene, and wrapped in an ear-thumping, designer-driven nightclub atmosphere, Hot Import Nights brings together the latest trends in cars, music and style in one high-energy, never-ending car party.

The Hot Import Nights Tour features indoor HIN shows and outdoor Nightshift Events, featuring the adrenaline-rush of drifting demos, stunt-bike competitions, Freestyle MotoX and stage performances.

"HIN is a lifestyle, the leader in the youth automotive space for over a decade, and we're excited to bring our brand of entertainment to SPEED," said Brent Diamond, CEO of Hot Import Nights. "We look forward to showing off the sights, sounds and most importantly the personalities that make this engine run!"

The SPEED show will be hosted by the Adrienne Janic, better known as "AJ" in the motor world. The California native and three-year co-host of Overhaulin' has multiple television and film credits, including stints on House and Kitchen Confidential.

Bud Brutsman, BCII's CEO, is the producer of the popular SPEED programs Livin' the Low Life with Vida Guerra, Hot Rod TV, Payback and Forza Motorsport Showdown, will take on the challenge of bringing this unique experience to the television screen with ten 30-minute episodes delivered in 720p High-Definition.

AJ and BCII's production crew spent the summer on tour with HIN to capture a wide sample of custom vehicles from around the country. The final episode will be shot in Las Vegas at a special event scheduled for Nov. 4-7 at SEMA, the world's premier automotive specialty products trade show.
