Hyundai Veloster Turbo Edition

The 2012 Hyundai Veloster made its debut this year at the 2011 Detroit Auto Show. Hyundai seems to think so which is why they have decided to turbo it up with the Hyundai Veloster Turbo edition.

Adding some turbo to the existing equipment will get the power out put up to 208 HP at 6,000 rpm and a peak torque of 195 lbs-ft available from 1,600 rpm to 5,000 rpm. The new engine will be available in late 2012.

Upcoming Hyundai Veloster Turbo variant is expected to come with a 1.6 liter turbocharged GDI unit with 210 PS (155 kW / 207 bhp) and 265 Nm (195 lb-ft) of torque

One of our sleuth spy photographers has caught the upcoming turbocharged version of the Hyundai Veloster sports coupe undergoing hot weather testing in the harsh conditions of California’s Death Valley.

A turbocharged version of the standard Veloster 1.6-liter direct-injected four-cylinder engine should deliver upwards of 208 horsepower and 195 pound-feet of torque, putting the vehicle in prime Volkswagen GTI and MINI Cooper John Cooper Works territory. Aggressively styled bumpers and flared wheel arches also dominate the prototype.
