Hyundai has teamed up with Vaccar to create a unique
Tucson Sport concept for SEMA. Looking sporty and aggressive, the model has
been equipped with a front spoiler, extended side skirts, and a rear diffuser.
The team also installed a mesh grille, a two-tone paint job, and 20-inch forged
wheels with Continental ExtremeContact Sport tires.
The styling changes are more than skin deep as the
crossover features as unique interior with Katzkin ice grey leather upholstery
and fog Suedezkin accents. Drivers will also find an AutoMeter triple gauge pod
and an Android-powered infotainment system with a nine-inch display. Other
notable features include a rear seat entertainment system and a custom audio
system with a subwoofer.
Under the hood, the crossover's engine has been
equipped with a Boostec turbocharger, an AEM air intake, and a cat-back exhaust
system. Other highlights include a charge pipe kit, a Mishimoto intercooler,
and Magnaflow performance mufflers. Speaking of performance, the Tucson has
been outfitted with a coilover suspension and a Vaccar-Power Stop braking
system.
Hyundai is keeping performance specifications under
wraps but the standard model can be equipped with two different engines. The
2.0-liter four-cylinder develops 164 hp and 204 Nm of
torque while the turbocharged 1.6-liter four-cylinder produces 175 hp and 264 Nm of torque.
