  • 2013 Hyundai Veloster Turbo by Fox Marketing

    It turns out Hyundai had one more SEMA special up its sleeve, a car it’s calling the most powerful Veloster Turbo designed for the street. It’s been developed together with tuning firm Fox Marketing and develops a healthy 370 horsepower. In stock form, the Veloster Turbo’s 1.6-liter four already develops a usable 201 horsepower, but the guys at Fox have gone crazy with a new turbocharger, front-mount intercooler, water/methanol injection system, high-flow exhaust and an ECU retune.
