The paint, a custom color called Yellowcake, a type of uranium powder used to prepare fuel for nuclear reactors, certainly catches the eye. And if for some reason it doesn't, black graphics and a LED light bar on the roof most certainly will. An EGR widebody kit has been fitted for an even bigger visual impact, while the DPE three-piece wheels add some flair. The cabin sports a pair of Takata racing seats and harnesses, as well as a roll cage from Creations n' Chrome.The engine is an uprated version of the turbocharged, 1.6-liter engine found in the standard Veloster Turbo, but it's been fitted with an AEM intake and a MagnaFlow exhaust, for a bit of extra oomph. A coil-over suspension from ARK, an AEM strut-tower bar and Toyo Proxes R888 tires afford a bit more handling potential for the VT, while a Brembo brake package can bring things to a rapid halt.
The other Veloster Turbo is from Fox Marketing Cars, and it's decidedly more sporting than the Hylighter. With 370 horsepower coming thanks to a new BorgWarner turbo, an 845 Motorsports tubular manifold, a front-mount intercooler, an AEM water/methanol injection system and an ECU reflash, the 1.6-liter in the Fox car is considerably more potent. An ARK Performance 2.5-inch exhaust adds some character to the Veloster's engine note, while a Nitrous Express system can deliver even more power when needed. An ARK coilover system allows 35-way adjustment, allowing the Fox Veloster Turbo to be set up for a multitude of surfaces.Like the Hylighter, Takata racing seats and harnesses are featured in the car's cabin. The exterior items are a bit more conservative on this car, consisting of fog lights liberated from a Genesis Coupe, smoked head and taillights and the black and aqua BASF paints.
