Turbocharged Hyundai Veloster Bound For SEMA

Rumour says we can expect to see a turbocharged version of Hyundai's new Veloster at next year's New York Auto Show.

Whether there's truth in those reports remains to be seen, but at November's SEMA show in the US, tuning house ARK Performance will beat Hyundai to the punch with its own buffed and boosted Veloster.

"The Hyundai Veloster is an ideal car for enthusiasts with its distinctive design and dynamic architecture," ARK owner Ted Lee said.

"Our ARK Performance Veloster will bridge the realm between an affordable sports car and an extreme motor sports vehicle."

The list of modifications to the ARK Veloster is long, but the short version goes like this: a GTI-rivalling 157kW - up from the standard 102kW - along with six-piston front brakes, coilover suspension and a track-inspired widebody makeover.

There's also an alcantara leather-trimmed interior - from the dash to the seats and doors - and a full custom rally cage.
