Hyundai line-up by ARK Performance (2016 SEMA)
Hyundai has been steadily teasing us with preview
renderings – one apiece – for customized concepts that it's bringing to the
upcoming SEMA show in Las Vegas. And now it's released the last of the four.
Developed with ARK Performance, this Road Racer
concept is based on the Elantra. Only as you can see, this is no ordinary
econo-box. The show car announced its presence rather emphatically with a
comprehensively redone widebody kit, an oversized front splitter, and a full
matte vinyl wrap. But there's more to this concept beneath the surface.
ARK has fitted the Elantra with a turbo kit,
blow-off valve and wastegate, custom exhaust, and a completely reworked
suspension including coil-over shocks, tower brace, and front and rear
anti-roll bars. They're booked up to forged alloys with Nitto rubber and an
upgraded brake kit, while the interior has been refitted with diamond stitching
and a custom steering wheel.
The ARK Elantra will be joined by the thousand-horsepower
Santa Fe by Bisimoto, another Santa Fe off-roader outfitted by the Rockstar
Performance Garage, and a Veloster racer done up by Gurnade. We're looking
forward to seeing more of this quartet in Vegas.
