Hyundai Veloster Turbo Heading to SEMA Show with Rally Car Style

The SEMA Show is sneaking up on us again and one of the first vehicles we're learning about is the ARK Performance Hyundai Veloster.

Set to be unveiled at the Korean automaker's stand at the annual aftermarket expo and built by ARK Performance, the rally-car styled Veloster will get some massively flared fenders and a custom interior with the obligatory blinged-out audio system like no one told them it's not 1998. Perhaps more exciting is a twin-scroll turbocharger under the hood helping the Veloster make 210-hp. While not breathtaking performance, it's a solid hint at the amount of power a rumored factory Veloster Turbo could make. Sadly, this isn't a production engine, but a custom turbo setup.

This latest show car marks the third time Hyundai and ARK Performance have teamed up for SEMA, with a Genesis Coupe on display last year and a Tiburon before that.

Custom turbocharged Hyundai Veloster to bow at SEMA

After our first drive of the Hyundai Veloster, we described the three-door hatch as an 'eco-sport' rather than an 'all-out performance car'. The 1.6-liter four-pot under the hood produces 138 horsepower and 123 pound-feet torque, which provided 'adequately entertaining' acceleration. In other words, we wouldn't mind one bit if the Veloster got an extra dose of power.

The folks over at ARK Performance were thinking the same thing, and are set to debut a custom Veloster at SEMA in November with an extra dose of oomph under the hood. The additional ponies – 210 in total – comes courtesy of intercooled turbocharger system and a high-flow exhaust system. ARK has also worked over the rest of the Veloster with six-piston front brakes, coilover suspension system, custom Alcantara interior and a widebody kit with green and grey graphics.

You can check out the full list of upgrades after the jump, and be on the lookout for live coverage of the car at the SEMA Show come November.

Turbocharged Ark Performance Hyundai Veloster to Arrive at SEMA

ARK Performance decided that the Hyundai Veloster lacked the pomp and circumstance that a hot hatch should have. Well, they were partly right, as the Velsoter runs a 1.6-liter 4-cylinder engine that puts out a pedestrian 138hp and 123lb-ft of torque. Cue ARK and their turbocharging compadres.The tuners from Chino have ratcheted-up the power on the hot little hatch to 210hp thanks to an intercooled turbocharger system and a high-flow exhaust system.

"The Hyundai Veloster is an ideal car for enthusiasts with its distinctive design and dynamic architecture. 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," said the owner of ARK Performance Ted Lee.To control the added power, ARK has added six-piston front brakes. Their version also features a coilover suspension system.

Some nice interior upgrades are also included by way of Alcantara leather. The exterior features a widebody kit with some neon green and gray graphics.You can check out ARK Performance's Hyundai Veloster when it makes its official debut at the SEMA Show in November.
