The Hyundai Santa Fe Sport is more adept at
conquering mall parking lots than Moab but the company is looking to change
that impression with the Rockstar Energy Moab Extreme Off-roader concept.
As part of the transformation from soft-roader to
off-roader, Hyundai equipped the crossover with a coilover suspension that
features 2.5-inch internal bypass shocks with reservoirs. The model has also
been outfitted with new drivetrain components and 17-inch beadlock wheels
wrapped in 35-inch Mickey Thompson Baja MTZ off-road tires.
Since accidents happen when off-roading, the concept
boasts heavy-duty skid plates and a Warn winch. Other notable changes include
LED auxiliary lights and a custom roof rack. There are also HID head- and
taillights as well as an upgraded braking system.
Hyundai was coy on performance specifications but
confirmed the concept's engine has been equipped with an AEM intake, a
Mishimoto intercooler, and a MagnaFlow exhaust. There's also a Nitrous Express
wet system, a Rockstar Energy catch can, and a coolant overflow reservoir.
Interior pictures were not released but the
concept has custom leather upholstery and a Kicker audio system. Other
highlights include a Casacadia tent and a Powertank air system for refilling
tires on the trail.
