The crew at Hyundai have put their heads together with ARK Performance for the upcoming 2011 Specialty Equipment Marketing Association (SEMA) show, and this is what resulted: a rally-bred 210-horsepower 2012 Veloster with a boatload of upgrades and a funky paintjob.

For those that think rally cars require all-wheel drive, we can confirm that front-drivers are a ton of fun in the dirt. But beyond that, the ARK project Veloster shows off the potential of the car if you're willing to replace a healthy amount of OEM equipment.

The mechanical modification list includes:


  • ARK Turbo Charger and Intercooler System
  • ARK Intercooler Piping System
  • ARK Custom Oil Cooler
  • ARK Turbo Manifold
  • ARK Lightweight Pulley System
  • ARK Six-Pot Big Brake Kit
  • ARK Eight-Point Chromoly Rally Style Roll Cage
  • ARK DTP Track Coilover System
  • ARK Upper Strut and Front and Rear Sway Bar
  • ARK Camber and Control Arms
  • ARK GRIP Dual Exhaust
  • ARK RSEPC Downpipes and Test Pipes

There's also a host of interior and exterior aesthetic upgrades, including a tricked out audio system, a lot of Alcantara, and plenty of aerodynamic bits. Look forward to more about the car as the SEMA show draws nearer.

    It would be great to see Hyundai return to the WRC Series with this car.

    I think it's comical that the first four items on the "modification list" are all summed up in the first one listed, "ARK Turbo Charger and Intercooler System" - seemingly to beef up the list, lol.
    I really do like the Veloster though and it certainly looks bad ass in "Rally" form. The Veloster touches a soft spot for me, as it reminds me of a modern interpretation of the three 2nd gen CRXs I've owned. I would own a Veloster.
