  • Kia builds high-performance K900 for 2014 SEMA show

    Kia’s K900 flagship sedan is still fresh on the market, having gone on sale here only in March. However, the car hasn’t managed to gain traction yet, which shouldn't be too much of a surprise as it can't be easy convincing shoppers to drop $60k on a vehicle from a brand mostly known for its affordability. Sales of the K900 peaked at 260 units in April, its first full month on the market, but have declined since then, reaching just 56 units in September. By comparison, Mercedes-Benz sold 4,883 units of its E-Class in September and 1,909 units of its S-Class. That doesn’t mean...

    T1 Race Development Takes On The Texas Invitational: Video

    Recently, we showed you video of the AMS GT-R taking home the top spot at the Texas Invitational. That car is a physics-defying monster that's probably also capable of creating the wormholes necessary for time travel. It certainly wasn't the only car at the track though, as the event was...

    Hyundai’s four-cylinder Genesis Coupe will be discontinued once the 2015 model year rolls around but the Korean automaker plans to give it one last hurrah with a wild concept pushing out almost 1,000 horsepower. The concept will be presented at next month’s SEMA show and is being developed with Chicago-based tuner Blood Type Racing (BTR). Extracting almost 1,000 horsepower from a 2.0-liter four-cylinder engine is no easy task, but BTR has stepped up to the challenge.

  • 2015 Hyundai Genesis by ARK Performance, 2014 SEMA

    Hyundai has done one hell of a job transforming the Genesis. The first generation machine was a novel take on a segment on which Germany has held a tight grip.

Now though, Hyundai offers up the second-generation Genesis and it's a true shot across the bow of the perceived Teutonic stranglehold on the luxury sedan world. MUST SEE: Lamborghini Pranksters Get Tased For Being Dumb: Video Justice Still, the car can be pushed even further. Need proof? ARK Performance has just what you're asking for.
