[h=1]Hyundai Veloster Turbo Transformed into Night Racer for SEMA[/h]by HYUNDAI IN THE NEWS on OCTOBER 1, 2013


The Las Vegas nightlife is about to get a whole lot brighter, thanks to a new Hyundai Veloster Turbo that’s being SEMA-fied by the team at the EGR Group. A longtime player in the aftermarket industry, EGR has reimagined the high-velocity Veloster as a time-attack car for night racing, complete with a roof-mounted LED light bar by Wurton, custom headlights by ONEighty and a screaming yellow exterior finish dubbed “Yellowcake.”
EGR then upgraded the exterior of the Hyundai Veloster Turbo with a wide-body aero kit, hood deflector, window visors, rear spoiler and bumper guard, set off by a front splitter by APR and DPE three-piece racing wheels. Of course, this night racer is ready to go motoring, too, courtesy of a retuned powertrain by Bisimoto Engineering, a MagnaFlow exhaust and AEM intake. Backed by these enhancements, the output from the car’s 1.6-liter turbocharged engine is up to 250 horsepower, but drivers can rely on a set of oversized stoppers by Brembo to keep things under control.
Other modifications to EGR’s one-of-a-kind Hyundai Veloster Turbo include:

  • A custom Katzkin interior
  • Roll cage from Creations n’ Chrome
  • Takata racing seats and harnesses
  • Ark coil-over suspension
  • AEM strut bar and intake
“Veloster Turbo provides an ideal tuning platform for enthusiasts who want to modify their cars,” said Mike O’Brien, vice president of product planning for Hyundai Motor America. “EGR created a very special night-focused time attack car that perfectly showcases Veloster Turbo’s inherently sporty DNA.”
The trade-only 2013 SEMA Show, presented annually by the Specialty Market Equipment Association, is scheduled to run from November 5-8 at the Las Vegas Convention Center.
