Hyundai Santa FE Custom (2016 SEMA)
This monster truck developed
alongside the Rockstar Performance Garage. Rockstar's goes for a more
rough-and-tumble angle. As you can see, it's riding high on an off-road
suspension – made up of coil-overs up front and reservoir shocks at the back,
both from King, in a custom setup with new tie-rods and control arms.
The 17-inch KMC bead-lock wheels wear 35-inch Mickey
Thompson Baja Claw tires and pack six-piston brakes up front and four-pots
around back. The car also has a Warn winch, Rock bumpers, Bulldog LED lights,
custom roof rack, and a special digi-camo paintjob, but there's more to this
beast underneath the skin.
The Rockstar Santa Fe is powered by Hyundai's
familiar 3.3-liter V6 engine, though it's been fitted with an AEM cold air
intake, Mishimoto cooling system, a Magnaflow exhaust, and – perhaps most
importantly – a nitrous-oxide injection system to boost output through the roof
and make even a Ford F-150 Raptor look tame by comparison.
The project
also includes new batteries, wires, gears, audio system, and a custom leather
interior. We look forward to seeing the finished product from the floor of the
SEMA show, but we have a feeling there will be more of these custom Hyundais to
follow in the coming weeks.
