Spy Photos: 2013 Hyundai Veloster Turbo

Post by boomee »

These are the first Spy Shots we have of the 208 horsepower, turbocharged 1.6-L 2013 Hyundai Veloster Turbo that we've known was coming since the Detroit Auto Show.

This Turbo Veloster is riding on the same 18-inch wheels which are going to be optional on the base Veloster and which were present on the test vehicle we rode in. The base Veloster, however, has all-season tires while this one will have optional sticky summer rubber.

Differences here include a new front fascia, new grille, round fog lights and chin spoilers on the corners of the bumper. We can also see more carved side skirts and, most obviously, the huge center-mount round (the standard has rectangular) exhaust tips. There also appears to be a roof mounted spoiler pushing up on the camo.

We expect the debut of the Hyundai Veloster Turbo at either the LA or Detroit show.

Good choice putting $4,000 rims on your 1990 Honda Civic. That's like Betty White going out and getting her tits done.

1.6T with 208hp. and, the motor is supposed to be capable of MUCH more. Just to compare, a full MINI JCW has the same size engine and power (and costs $32k before getting any options).

After seeing it at the DC Auto Show I can say that it looks better in person IMHO.
