Once the usual tantalizing spy shots and teaser sheets are ultimately withdrawn in 2012 Hyundai Veloster. Not only Veloster targeting wannabe-efficient sports cars like the Honda CR-Z, it reinvents the way we see the coupe and hatchback form, using the unique design of a startling three-door is better in execution than we expected.
Earlier today, Hyundai pulled the wraps off the all-new 2011 Avante, or as we will come to know it, the next generation of the Elantra sedan. Along with the first details and photos, the South Korean automaker also released an animated film on the new Elantra that you can check out right after the jump.
The news of the 2011 Elantra comes only days after the unveiling of its smaller brethren, the new Accent saloon. Both cars pick up styling cues from their bigger brother, the Sonata, which is already on sale in the U.S. For more details on the latest generation of the Elantra
Hyundai 4×4 range of models has added a new tool. Featured Luxury car is described as Veracruz, with seating for seven. Prepared over a period of 26 months for the development of approximately 222 million dollars were spent on Veracruz. Hyundai California Design and Research Center, Hyundai engineers prepared for the car they gave the name of the S-Engine VGT (variable geometry turbo) 3.0-liter V6-powered diesel engine developed.

On the outside, the Signature Edition Equus combines a two-tone carbon fiber and Red Bull Racing blue satin clear paint with an array of carbon fiber parts including mirror caps, front chin and rear deck spoilers, grille and exhaust outlet trims. The HRE 21-inch P40 wheels round off the exterior package.
The interior of the SEMA Show Equus sports RMR Signature Edition embroidered headrests and floor mats, and -hold on - ostrich hide leather seats with suede accents.
To improve performance, RMR's tuners bolted on a new air intake and sports stainless steel exhaust system adding an extra 30 horsepower to the V8 engine for a total output of 415-ponies. A 14-inch brake kit completes the upgrades.

To bling it up a notch and capture the VIP look, the tuning shop added a five piece body kit as well as a raft of carbon fiber parts including the hood and trunk, plus 22-inch alloy wheels shod in tires size 245/30/22 up front and 265/30/22 at the back. The range-topping Hyundai's interior was also upgraded with custom leather seats, black suede details, and VIP-style curtains.
In addition, Mummble said it will install an Apple iPad to control certain aspects of the car such as ride height, curtains, audio system and windows.
As for the performance enhancements, these include a turbo kit that pushes the 4.6-liter V8 engine's output to a more satisfying 450-horsepower, an Air Lift digital air suspension and bigger brakes all around with six pistons and drilled rotors.

"The Sonata Turbo is an ideal platform for us to bridge the worlds of performance, aesthetics, luxury, technology and style," said Ben Harris, executive publisher, RIDES and 0-60 magazines. "The design we've chosen will accentuate the car's lines and style, using influences from exotic supercars."
The designers claim to have used styling cues from the four-door Brabus Mercedes CLS Rocket for the car's exterior modifications, which combine a matte pearl white paint with a set of blacked out 20-inch wheels, custom LED fog lights, and a slew of carbon fiber parts including the roof, grill, side mirrors and rear diffuser.
Inspiration for the Sonata Turbo's interior is said to have come from the Ferrari F430 [again, this is what Hyundai claims in the official press release], with stitched leather and alcantara used throughout the cabin and carbon fiber trim accents.
No word on the press release about the influence of Porsche in the design [...].
We'll remind you that the 2011 Sonata Turbo comes with a 2.0-liter force-fed four-pot pumping out 274 hp and 269 lb-ft of torque, with prices starting from $24,865.
