Hyundai has joined forces with Fox Marketing to create a unique Veloster Turbo that will be showcased at the 2013 SEMA Show in Las Vegas.
Described as the "most powerful street-focused Veloster Turbo ever," the car has a 1.6-liter four-cylinder turbocharged engine which has been equipped with a comprehensive package of advanced engine components, including:
- SeoulfulRacing factory ECU custom tune
- 845 Motorsports Turbo Upgrade
- BorgWarner EFR 6258 turbo
- 845 Motorsports 3-inch aluminum cold air intake
- AEM water/methanol injection
- 845 Motorsports stainless steel tubular manifold
- Nitrous Express N-Tercooler sprayer
- Front-mounted intercooler
- Custom oil and coolant lines
To cope with the extra power, the engineers installed a fully-adjustable ARK Performance coil-over suspension, a UNIQ Performance strut tower brace, a mid-brace and new sway bars. There's also WP Pro EX6 six-piston front calipers with carbon-fiber ducting and 13.6-inch wavy-cut rotors for neck-wrenching stopping power.
Last but not least, exterior modifications give the Fox Marketing Veloster Turbo an aggressive demeanor which perfectly complements the engine and chassis upgrades. A hand-mixed paint from BASF color lab dubbed R-M Oynx HD Waterborne SkyAqua Pearl is the most striking exterior component, while the addition of Hyundai Genesis fog lights, an ImportShark front lip spoiler, custom rear fascia mesh and custom front fascia round-out the bold exterior modifications.
"The Veloster Turbo was designed with affordable performance in mind," said Scott Margason, director, product planning, Hyundai Motor America. "Fox Marketing’s unique concept showcases the versatility of our turbocharged 4-cylinder Gamma engine family while expanding the overall performance envelope for the Veloster line."
