At the Chicago Auto Show, Hyundai Motor America adds the Veloster coupe to its motorsports program with the help of champion race car driver Rhys Millen, who fabricated and will race the first 500-horsepower AWD Veloster rally car in the 2011 U.S. Rallycross Championship.
The RMR Hyundai Veloster rally car features a eight-point safety cage and firewall, a Sparco racing seat, a custom suspension, Hankook Racing tires on 18-inch HRE wheels, and Brembo brakes. The RMR Hyundai Veloster rally car is powered by a four-cylinder turbocharged engine developing around 500 hp, that's coupled with an Xtrac six-speed sequential transmission. The RMR Hyundai Veloster rally car features an Xtrac four wheel drive system and front and rear differentials, and a Proflex jumbo coil over suspension.
RMR and Hyundai are constructing a second Veloster rally car that will be a shared ride between rally champion Marcus Dodd and world record freestyle motorbike rider Robbie Maddison. Millen and Maddison will drive the Veloster rally cars at Summer X Games. A third Veloster rally car will be constructed to compete in the 2WD class in limited number of U.S. Rallycross Championship events and will be piloted by to-be-announced celebrity drivers.
