A single photos released during the weekend offers a preview of the custom 2011 Hyundai Sonata Turbo which will appear at the 2010 SEMA Show.
The 2011 Hyundai Sonata Turbo has been prepared by RIDES and 0-60 magazines, and apparently inspiration was drawn from Ferrari, Mercedes and Porsche models. The car will feature various performance parts and custom elements that will enable it to look more while also enabling a boost in power.
Some of the key elements on this SEMA prepared 2011 Hyundai Sonata Turbo includes 20 inch concave monobloc wheels, a matte pearl body finish, LED fog lights and numerous carbon fiber components like the
roof, grill, side mirrors and rear diffuser.
Besides the custom 2011 Hyundai Sonata Turbo, a second vehicle to feature modified components, this time from ARK will be Hyundai Genesis Coupe 3.8L.
Hyunday press release :
To
build excitement around the recently launched 2011 Sonata Turbo,
Hyundai Motor America teamed up with RIDES and 0-60 magazines to trick
out one of the first turbos off the assembly line of its Alabama plant
for a debut at this year’s SEMA show. Inspired by Ferrari, Mercedes and
Porsche, the modified Sonata 2.0T will feature performance parts from
leading aftermarket companies and custom fabrication work from RIDES’
and 0-60’s team of expert builders.
"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 vehicle’s exterior modifications will be modest and tasteful,
using influences from the four-door Brabus Mercedes CLS Rocket sport
coupe to broaden and draw attention to the vehicle’s body lines from the
factory. Key elements consist of 20-inch concave monobloc wheels, matte
pearl white paint and a slew of carbon fiber components including the
roof, grill, interior trim, side mirrors and rear diffuser. To complete
the design, fabricators will incorporate custom LED fog lights into the
bumper.
Inspiration for the sporty interior design came from the Ferrari
F430, with strategically placed stitched leather throughout and carbon
fiber trim accents. Those strapped into the leather driver’s seat will
take pleasure in performance upgrades including turbo and intake
enhancements, and a quad tip dual exhaust.
The Sonata Turbo will be shown in the Hyundai Booth between November
2-5, 2010 (Booth #24387), among other vehicles from Hyundai Motor
America. Outside of SEMA, the 2011 Sonata Turbo will be arriving in
dealer showrooms later this year, with 274 hp and 269 lb-ft of torque.
