2010 SEMA Preview: Mummbles Marketing 2011 Hyundai Equus

Mummbles Marketing 2011 Hyundai Equus for SEMA

The 2011 Hyundai Equus was just priced earlier this month, and alreday Hyundai is building hype for the car, with next week's SEMA show as an early focal point

. The latest addition to the modded-Equus fold? One from Mummbles Marketing.

Despite the unfortunate name, the Mummbles Marketing Equus looks to put an "elegant" twist on the big sedan, plus an extra flash of performance. Powered by a 450-horsepower turbocharged version of the 4.6-liter V-8, the Mummbles Equus adds a custom exterior look with interior upgrades, brake, wheel, and suspension modifications, plus the SEMA-obligatory audio and video kit.

The turbo kit under the Equus' hood is a collaboration between Mummbles, Legacy Innovations and S-Max to extract an additional 65 horsepower from the current V-8, 21 ponies more than buyers of the 5.0-liter Tau V-8 powered model will get when it goes on sale in the Equus next year.
