Every year thousands of spectators follow the man with the dream to showcase beautiful cars, women, and artwork under one roof. The man behind the vision is Sam Torres, owner and creator of ‘Torres Empire’.
Having been in the lowriding scene most of his life, Sam made his interest in building and collecting cars into a passion. The annual show allows for Sam to share his vision to those with the same love for cars.
Every year, in different parts of the U.S, Sam out does himself with great performances from artists such as Ice Cube, The Game, Brenton Wood and Tierra.

Sam Torres was not only friendly, but also humble. He expressed that none of his success would be possible if he didn’t have the patience, hard work and love that his team dedicates year round; something that definitely showed in
