Hyundai’s unique Veloster is because of arrive inside the U.S. this summertime having a 138-hp, 1.6-liter by natural means aspirated four-cylinder, and now our spy shooters have captured a prototype that just may very well be the promised turbocharged model. We've got prior confirmation that the vehicle will obtain a turbo’d, 210-hp model with the Veloster’s small 4 on the Continent, and now we have an inkling that we’ll see it right here, as well.
Quite a few clues stage to this staying the go-faster iteration with the funky-doored coupe. For starters, the front grille and fascia are extremely distinctive from those in the regular 2012 Veloster-even camouflaged, it is very clear that this car’s consumption openings are a great deal larger. The gaping maw would enable improved airflow to an intercooler even though also imparting a extra aggressive look, plus the front appears to dwelling spherical fog lights-replacing the common car’s trapezoidal units-above more-pronounced corner sculpting. The reduce front fascia aligns with chiseled rocker-panel extensions; with each other, they give this Veloster prototype a lower-slung look. Moving around to the rear on the check Veloster, we discover massive spherical exhaust shops in place of the typical model’s rectilinear ports.
This may possibly merely be a non-turbo European-spec test car or truck, but if this car is the fact is a U.S.-bound blown product, it is possible a minimum of a year away. The Michigan manufacturer’s plate confirms absolutely nothing, as Hyundai maintains an R&D facility in Ann Arbor and automakers routinely examination cars in America that will never be sold right here.
