Hyundai unveils its SEMA show concepts

Hyundai has joined forces with industry leaders Bisimoto Engineering and Rockstar Performance Garage to create two exciting new concepts for the 2019 Specialty Equipment Market Association (SEMA) show - the Bisimoto VelosterRaptor N Concept and the Rockstar Performance Garage Kona Ultimate Concept.

The Bisimoto VelosterRaptor N Concept emphasises engineered bolt-on performance upgrades for the Veloster N Performance Package model. These bolt-on accessories are designed to have high potential for aftermarket availability.

For the VelosterRaptor N, a team of four, with engineering expertise ranging from mechanical and chemical to aerospace, collaborated to create enhancements for the Veloster chassis while improving on the thermal efficiency of the engine.

The Bisimoto Engineering VelosterRaptor N is designed to be a 'Type R Killer', maintain low emissions, improve thermal efficiency, reduce internal combustion frictional and pumping losses, and have a quantified output above 320bhp.

This is achieved by incorporating a high-flow exhaust system, a water methanol kit, high-performance intercooler, high-flow intake, mass airflow modifications, and upgraded turbocharger internals. The interior, meanwhile, is comprised of lighter seats and a digital diagnostic display.

Hyundai also teamed up with Rockstar, which took a black Kona Ultimate Turbo AWD to create the ultimate Kona SUV. Rockstar built the new Kona Ultimate Sport with extensive modifications, including 30-inch Mickey Thompson race-grooved tyres and 16-inch Motegi rally wheels, together with King suspension upgrades and a Race Chip performance tuning, among others.
