A Supercharged Hyundai Genesis Hurricane SC is To Be Revealed at SEMA

The 2012 Veloster may be Hyundai's new hotness, but the Genesis Coupe is still its flagship performance car. And with this year's SEMA show next week, Hyundai is quickly readying a full fleet of tuner cars to debut in Las Vegas. Here, we see the Genesis Hurricane SC – a collaboration between the Hyundai America Technical Center (HATCI) and companies like Magnuson Products, Rhys Millen Racing, Harman International and Torvec Inc.

As its name suggests, the swan song of this tuned Genesis Coupe is its engine – a supercharged version of Hyundai's 3.8-liter V6. Adding this supercharger means the Hurricane is good for more than 450 horsepower, and Torvec Inc. has fitted its IsoTorque differential to allow for improved handling and traction. When tested on the road course at Hyundai's proving grounds, this new differential allowed the Hurricane to be one second quicker lap over lap than a standard Genesis Coupe.

Rhys Millen Racing provided the new front bumper, grille, side skirts, hood, diffuser and rear deck, and the company's partners – Enkei and Hankook – are responsible for the 19-inch wheel and tire package. Inside, there's a high-level Lexicon audio system and custom Katzkin leather upholstery with blue suede inserts on the seats. After all, it wouldn't be SEMA without heaps of suede.

Hyundai has only released this one teaser image as of this writing, but we'll be sure to bring you a full gallery live from SEMA next month.

When It Comes to Automotive Brand Loyalty, Consumers Trust Hyundai!

The study was done by Experian Automotive, a data service that tracks vehicle registration data and consumer attitudes, and it found that consumers really trust Hyundai. But making big progress is Ford – the automaker took six of the top spots in the top 10 product categories.

Hyundai-most-trusted-brand

Nabbing the top position, Hyundai scored well with a loyalty rate of 49.6 percent. This is the first time the Korean automaker topped the list, beating out GM, Ford and Toyota. In this study, loyalty is determined by the repurchase rate of its owners. And Hyundai had a good year, sales wise -  its brand market share jumped to 9.2 percent during the second quarter of this year (up from 7.9 percent last year).

Hyundai Offers Pandora® in Every New Veloster

New 2012 Vehicle Model Plays to Music Lovers with Pandora

OAKLAND, Calif. Sept. 29, 2011 – Pandora (NYSE: P), the leading personalized radio service, announced today that its automotive partner Hyundai began to deliver the all-new Pandora-enabled 2012 Veloster to dealers nationwide this month. The Veloster is a new model that is targeted towards drivers who seek to bring the “digital age” to the driving experience.

Pandora is offered as a free, standard feature in every new Veloster. This Hyundai integration with Pandora makes it possible for drivers to enjoy their personalized Pandora stations behind the wheel. At launch, the Veloster is compatible with the iPhone and connects to the dashboard using Bluetooth technology.

Pandora executive vice president of business and corporate development Jessica Steel said, "The car is an extremely popular venue for radio listening and we are thrilled that people can now listen to Pandora personalized radio right in the dash of their new Hyundai Veloster."

“Veloster is a fun-to-drive, three-door coupe that exemplifies Hyundai’s commitment to offering drivers the latest and greatest in-vehicle connectivity and technology,” said Scott Margason, director Product Planning, Hyundai Motor America. “Having Pandora internet radio easily accessible in the Veloster enhances the drive experience, allowing Veloster customers to listen to their favorite music everywhere they go.”

The Music Genome Project®, a deeply detailed hand-built musical taxonomy, powers the personalization of Pandora® internet radio by using musicological "DNA" and constant listener feedback to craft personalized stations from a growing collection of hundreds of thousands of recordings. Tens of millions of people in the U.S. turn on Pandora to hear music they love. www.pandora.com

Hyundai's New Hatchback Puts the “Fun” Back Into Functional

The Veloster looks like a hatchback coupe, but this strange little car has three doors: one on the driver’s side, and two on the passenger’s side. While not a traditionally beautiful car—it’s definitely a bold new design. We guarantee you will never lose a Veloster in a parking lot. A direct-injected 138-bhp 1.6-liter 4-cylinder engine will deliver more than 40 mpg during highway driving. A 6-speed manual or a 6-speed dual-clutch transmission are available. Hyundai is also working on a turbocharged Veloster that could offer upward of 200 bhp!
