Hyundai Veloster Turbo by ARK Performance headed for SEMA

Hyundai is yet to confirm the Veloster Turbo for production, although a number of spy photos and international reports suggest it is on its way in the not-too-distant future. This custom version adds more fuel to the fire.

The ARK Performance Veloster scores a custom twin-scroll turbocharger that increases overall power to 150kW. That’s a significant step-up from the standard car’s naturally aspirated 103kW/167Nm 1.6-litre petrol engine.

ARK plans to make no fewer than 47 modifications to the show car, including everything from interior, exterior and mechanical enhancements.

The most obvious is the unique two-tone paint job, which combines flat grey with fluoro highlights.

Almost every exterior panel has been beefed up, with the low front splitter, pumped wheel arches, quad exhaust outlets and dramatic rear wing among the highlights.

There’s also a full rally-style roll cage, a completely overhauled audio system and Alcantara upholstery across the hard surfaces. (We’ve included the full list of modifications is below.)

ARK Performance Inc. owner, Ted Lee, said the Hyundai Veloster’s distinctive design and dynamic architecture made it “an ideal car for enthusiasts”.

The Hyundai Veloster will land in Australian showrooms before the end of the year.
