Hyundai Veloster Night Racer Concept by EGR Group

Posted on 10.5.2013 12:00 by Simona

Last week, Hyundai unveiled the first details on the Genesis Coupe concept car specially developed for the 2013 SEMA show in cooperation with Bisimoto Engineering. Today it’s time to learn about another concept from the Korean automaker: a Veloster developed in cooperation with EGR Group.

As its name suggests, the Veloster Night Racer was specially developed for the night racing circuits. To achieve this, the concept received a vivid, yellow paint scheme, a Wurton roof-mounted, LED light bar and custom, ONEighty-branded headlights. The exterior was also updated with a specially developed body kit, hood deflector, window visors, a rear spoiler and bumper guard. The concept sits on special DPE three-piece, lightweight racing wheels.

As this was a concept developed for the circuit, Hyundai and EGR Group also equipped the Veloster with a roll cage and racing seats with Takata harnesses.

Bisimoto Engineering checked in to tune the Hyundai Veloster’s 1.6-liter, turbocharged four-cylinder engine and MagnaFlow added in an exhaust system. This helped push the final output to 250 horsepower — up from the stock 201 horsepower. Helping drag this hatchback to a stop are oversized Brembo brakes.
