Hyundai has joined forces with ARK to build a burly Veloster for SEMA. A custom twin-scroll turbo bumps the Veloster's modest 138 hp four banger up to 210 hp. More pics and the press release detailing all the mods after the jump!
To showcase the performance capabilities and aftermarket potential of its innovative three-door coupe, Hyundai has teamed up with ARK Performance to transform Veloster into a sleek and sporty rally car. The ARK Performance Veloster will be unveiled at the 2011 SEMA Show with a custom twin-scroll turbocharger increasing its horsepower to 210HP and a bright green and flat gray paint scheme to give enthusiasts a glimpse at Veloster's potential. ARK Performance's Veloster will be shown in the Hyundai booth between November 1-4, 2011 among other modified Velosters and Genesis Coupes.
"The Hyundai Veloster is an ideal car for enthusiasts with its distinctive design and dynamic architecture," said Ted Lee, owner, ARK Performance Inc. "At SEMA, our ARK Performance Veloster will bridge the realm between an affordable sports car and an extreme motor sports vehicle. From the first Tiburon, to the Genesis Coupe, and now with the Veloster, ARK Performance continues to uphold the torch as the pioneer of aftermarket performance manufacturing for Hyundai."
The ARK Performance Hyundai Veloster will showcase mechanical, interior and exterior modifications including an open wheel concept with aggressive fenders and Nitto tires. ARK will also develop Veloster specific parts to showcase the tunability of the engine and vehicle exterior.

By: BIG_CIVIC 10/1/2011 4:49 PM I think your math is wrong about their horsepower claims. The standard Veloster has 138hp (which is pathetic) and will add a turbo which will take it up to 210hp (which is about right for a standard hot-hatch these days). 138hp plus 210hp does equal 348hp but if you read correctly they are not adding a 210hp turbo, but adding a turbo to increase the "total" power to 210hp. So I don't see the big deal with the body kit and graphics as it's huge overkill for car that still has similar power to a civic typeR, golf GTI etc. |

By: SilverBullit99 10/4/2011 4:32 AM Awesome .. that is a great looking ride ! |
|
By: StreetDemonzCC 10/4/2011 5:36 AM Looks cool, but that HP rating is kinda low. 210hp for a turbo car, especially a new car at that? I think it is amazing looking (color scheme, and body design. I don't nit pick at vinyls, and stickers...) but for all that style, there isn't enough performance. |

By: 99SSCHEVY 10/4/2011 7:18 AM THAT LOOKS PRETTY GOOD SINCE IT DONT LOOK EXACTLY LIKE ANOTHER CAR LIKE THE DID WITH THE SONATE TRYING TO MAKE IT LOOK LIKE THE BENZ.WHAT IS THE ARK TRYING TO BE LIKE THE BENZ AMG MOTOR COMPANY.I CANT STAND IMPORT CARS FROM THAT WAY.

By: 4njeep 10/4/2011 8:13 PM I just bought a 2012 Accent that has the same 138hp Direct Injection engine as the Veloster and the 6 speed auto with the option to shift manually and it is a hoot to drive quick an peppy. I think the ARK concept looks AWESOME!!! |
