HYUNDAI TEAMS WITH EGR GROUP TO BUILD “YELLOWCAKE” NIGHT RACER VELOSTER TURBO FOR SEMA SHOW
COSTA MESA, Calif., Sept. 30, 2013 – EGR
Group, a leading OEM and aftermarket accessory supplier for nearly
four decades, is developing a custom EGR Night Racer concept based on
the Hyundai Veloster Turbo that is guaranteed to turn heads. The
racecar, designed specifically for time attack races at night racing
circuits, will be showcased at the 2013 SEMA show in
Las Vegas, November 5-8.
The
EGR Night Racer’s most compelling cosmetic upgrade is a unique vivid
yellow paint scheme. This custom-developed color, dubbed Yellowcake, was
created by EGR in
collaboration with the paint experts at PPG and Barry’s Speed Shop.
With the addition of a Wurton roof-mounted LED light bar and custom
ONEighty-branded headlights, the EGR Night Racer will be impossible to
miss, especially on night racing circuits.
Modifications
to the EGR Night Racer go far beyond cosmetics. Body rigidity has been
increased significantly with the addition of a custom roll cage, and
ride height
is race-tuned with an ARK coil-over suspension and AEM strut brace.
Bisimoto Engineering provided powertrain tuning expertise, boosting the
1.6-liter output to 250 horsepower, while oversized Brembo brakes, DPE
3-piece racing wheels and Toyo semi-slick racing
tires ensure the power is kept under precise control.
“Veloster
Turbo provides an ideal tuning platform for enthusiasts who want to
modify their cars,” said Mike O’Brien, vice president, product planning,
Hyundai Motor
America. “EGR created a very special night-focused time attack car that
perfectly showcases Veloster Turbo’s inherently sporty DNA.”
