EGR Group, a leading OEM and aftermarket accessory
supplier for nearly four decades, is developing a custom EGR Night Racer
concept based on the Hyundai Veloster Turbo that is guaranteed to turn heads. The
racecar, designed specifically for time attack races at night racing circuits,
has been showcased at the 2013 SEMA show in Las Vegas.
The EGR Night Racer’s most compelling cosmetic
upgrade is a unique vivid yellow paint scheme. This custom-developed color,
dubbed Yellowcake, was created by EGR in collaboration with the paint experts
at PPG and Barry’s Speed Shop. With the addition of a Wurton roof-mounted LED
light bar and custom ONEighty-branded headlights, the EGR Night Racer will be impossible
to miss, especially on night racing circuits.
Modifications to the EGR Night Racer go far beyond
cosmetics. Body rigidity has been increased significantly with the addition of
a custom roll cage, and ride height is race-tuned with an ARK coil-over
suspension and AEM strut brace. Bisimoto Engineering provided powertrain tuning
expertise, boosting the 1.6-liter output to 250 horsepower, while oversized
Brembo brakes, DPE 3-piece racing wheels and Toyo semi-slick racing tires
ensure the power is kept under precise control.
