The 2013 Veloster Turbo is promising a lot more driving enjoyment to match what's already a very exciting package. Under the hood is a new turbocharged version of the company's 'Gamma' 1.6-liter, direct-injection four-cylinder engine—that's the same engine that's in the Veloster and Accent—but here it's fitted with a twin-scroll turbocharger and pumps out 201 horsepower, along with a lot more torque that should be accessible at much lower revs. That should not only make the Veloster a blast to drive, but it should remedy the lack of low-rev torque that we've found in the non-turbo...

If the 2012 Hyundai Veloster wasn't quite funky and youthful enough for you already, then the only thing likely to convince you is cramming it full of the latest games, sounds and technology. That's exactly what RE:MIX Lab has done with three new Velosters, showing them at the opening of their multi-city festival of art, music, fashion, tech, culture and design. The Music Veloster With a 450-watt Dimension Premium Audio System and a 7-inch multimedia touchscreen, the Veloster is already pretty well equipped for music lovers, but RE:MIX has taken it a step - well, several leaps further.

Rhys Millen, rally racing, and Hyundai: over the last few years this partnership has yielded some seriously fast race cars, incredible video and photography, and a fair bit of success. The latest motorsports monster from Hyundai is based on the Veloster, but we expect it to deliver just as well as previous Genesis-based cars. These live photos show the car as it sits on the Chicago Auto Show floor--a long way from its rock-strewn, mid-air, blind-crested natural environment. For video of the car in action, check out our preview here.

2011 Detroit Auto Show: 2012 Hyundai Veloster Live PhotosThe Hyundai Veloster is as much an exercise in "why not?" as it is in "why" so don't ask yourself too many questions when you look at these live photos.

2012 Hyundai Veloster Preview: 2011 Detroit Auto ShowIt's one of the most hotly anticipated new cars on display at the 2011 Detroit auto show--and maybe that's surprising, since the 40-mpg 2012 Hyundai Veloster comes from humbler beginnings than super cars like the Porsche 918, Cadillac CTS-V Coupe and BMW 650i that also are vying for attention at...
