Hyundai & Gurnade Create Track-Focused Veloster Concept For SEMA


Hyundai and Gurnade Inc have teamed up in order to put together this Veloster Concept for the 2016 SEMA Show.

The Gurnade Veloster Concept builds on the model's already aggressive stance by adding integrated flares, a frong splitter, racing canards, three-piece lightweight forged wheels and a custom rear spoiler.

"Gurnade has always been drawn to the uniquely aggressive lines of the production Veloster," said Joshua Cloud, owner of Gurnade Inc. "So when Hyundai approached us with the opportunity to develop one of their vehicles for SEMA, we didn’t hesitate to create the Gurnade Veloster Concept. It leverages all the strengths of the Veloster and takes it where we always envisioned it could go."

Among the concept's key technical modifications, we've got the 845 Motorsports intercooler, downpipe and cold-air intake, the ECU tune, Synapse blow-off valve, ARK Performance cat-back exhaust, NEO Motorsports coil-overs & 6-piston brake kit, Pierce Motorsports strut bar, rear torsion bar and tie brace, 19" OZT forged wheels and Toyo competition-spec tires.

 Outside, the car stands out thanks to the Magic Magenta paint, Lightner Motorsports custom fender flares and grille, EPR carbon-fiber front spoiler, side sills and rear garnish, carbon-fiber hood & hatch, ARK Performance carbon-fiber spoiler, the vented bumper cover, plus the custom headlights and fog lights.

The interior features Cobra Nogaro racing seats, Takata racing harnesses, Pierce Motorsports roll cage, Glowshift gauges and LED Glow lightning, a SoCal Garage Works carbon-fiber steering wheel, Phoenix Golf subwoofer and amplifier plus a Creative Car-Tunes audio system.

The 2016 SEMA Show takes places November 1st through November 4th at the Last Vegas Convention Center.

Limited Edition Ford GT 'Competition Series' Is All About The Track

Image
Ford's new GT Competition Series was built with weight-saving in mind, but also with an improved center of gravity for better road-holding. Among its features, you'll notice the lightweight carbon fiber racing stripes, A-Pillars and side mirrors, as well as the unique race-inspired Perspex acrylic engine hatch with integrated venting. Thanks to the manual latch and the carbon fiber prop rod, weight near the roof has been reduced, though Ford engineers went even further in their quest to make the car lighter, by making the bulkhead Gorilla Glass behind the driver about half as thick (and as light) as on other models. "The Ford GT has racing in its blood," said Ford exec Raj Nair, while adding that the Competition Series "was developed with the most hardcore track enthusiasts in mind, providing a tailored set of lightweight features and unique livery to match." There are also plenty of remaining performance features from the production car, such as

Alpine A110 Hits Geneva With Pure, Legende And GT4 Versions

Image
Renault’s reborn Alpine brand has been getting rave reviews for its new A110 and now, as promised, it’s revealed new versions of its coupe at the Geneva Motor Show. Following the success of the sold-out Premiere Edition, the A110 will now be offered in Pure and Legende trims. The A110 Pure is targeted at driving enthusiasts. It features one-piece Sabelt sports seats that weigh barely more than 13 kilograms (28.6 pounds) each and, combined with other weight-saving measures, helps keep the curb weight below 1,100 kg ( 2,425 lbs). It’s not entirely stripped out, though, and still comes with features like air-conditioning and satellite navigation. Buyers can also add upgraded Brembo brakes and an adaptive exhaust system and can upgrade to the adjustable comfort seats. Those come standard on the Legende model, which is geared more towards every day driving and grand touring and comes with leather upholstery. Customers can also choose between two Focal sound systems and two wheel

Volkswagen T-Roc Cabriolet Is A Crossover For Droptop Lovers

Image
Droptop crossovers have always been rather odd and the T-Roc Cabriolet is no different. It will be the only convertible Volkswagen on sale for the foreseeable future and will celebrate its public debut at the Frankfurt Motor Show in September. Rather than simply removing the roof of the standard T-Roc, Volkswagen has drastically altered the vehicle’s structure and body. In fact, its wheelbase is 37 mm longer than the standard T-Roc while its overall length is up by 34 mm. In addition, the Volkswagen T-Roc Cabriolet features structural strengthening in the underbody, side panels, cross members, doors, and windscreen frame to make up for the lack of a roof. The folding fabric roof developed by Volkswagen retracts in just nine seconds at speeds of up to 19 mph (30.5 km/h) and is similar in operation to the roof of the outgoing Golf Cabriolet. The presence of the soft top reduces trunk space by 161 liters down from the 284 liters of the run-of-the-mill T-Roc. We don’t think bu
