Hyundai, together with Blood Type Racing, have put
together an attention-grabbing concept for this year's SEMA Show, dubbed the
BTR Edition. Underneath all the aftermarket mods is a Hyundai Elantra Sport,
featuring a methanol injection intake, custom exhaust and intercooler, a tuned
suspension and a full aero kit.
Of course, we'll just have to take his word for it,
because visually, the car doesn't really look as if it would fare too well on a
ramp, or at a drive in usual daily stuff. What it does seem like it would
handle well is performance, which is where all the mods come in.
Torcon CAI intake and Pierce Motorsports exhaust,
custom ECU tuning by BTR, Devil's Own water/methanol injection system,
Re-stitched OEM-style sport interior, Diamond-stitched floor mats,
SoCalGarageWorks carbon-fiber steering wheel, SSR GTX01 19" wheels, Toyo
T1 Sport tires, HDS coilover suspension, Pierce Motorsports sway bars, strut
tower and chassis brace, Fella Big Brake kit, Diode Dynamics custom headlights
and LED interior lighting, Aerotek custom front, side and rear track-ready lip
kit, APR GTC-200 GT wing, AutoArt body and paint work and a BTR custom trunk
track tool set.
The exterior is painted in Glasurit Arancio
Borealis, which takes in the light quite well. We should also touch on the rear
end design, since that teaser from two weeks ago only showed the front end and
profile. That wing at the back is properly massive, stretching almost as wide
as the car itself. Although, if you take away the wing and the fender
extensions, the car pretty much looks like the production model.
