Bisimoto
Engineering Focuses on Strengthening and Reliability to Create Most-Powerful
Sonata Ever
FOUNTAIN
VALLEY, Calif., Sept. 22, 2014 – For the third year in a row, Hyundai is partnering with the
powertrain gurus at Bisimoto Engineering, this time to create a 708 horsepower
Sonata for the 2014 SEMA show in Las Vegas. Bisimoto’s team specializes in
extracting huge output from Hyundai’s engines, like the 1000 horsepower
Bisimoto Genesis Coupe that was built for last year’s SEMA show.
For
this year’s show, the team is using Hyundai’s 2.4-liter
“Theta-II” 4-cylinder engine as the starting point for their build. Through a
combination of strengthened internal components – forged pistons, connecting
rods, a high-revving valve train and camshafts – a high-boost turbocharger, and
a fast-burning, flex-fuel diet, Bisimoto will extract 708 horsepower from the
engine. Power will be sent to the road through a 6-speed manual transmission.
As a total package, the 2015 Bisimoto Engineering Sonata boasts
supercar-beating power, with room for three friends to come along for the ride
of a lifetime. The vehicle will be revealed at Hyundai’s SEMA press conference
on November 4 at 9 a.m. PT.
“With a
proven and efficient 2.4-liter engine as a starting platform and a
sophisticated, sleek, four-door design, the 2015 Sonata was the perfect
candidate for this year’s build,” said Bisi Ezerioha, owner and chief engineer,
Bisimoto Engineering. “Outrageous power is nothing without reliability, and it
was a firm goal to retain the reliability that Hyundai is known for. After
hundreds of hours of testing, failure analysis and prototyping, 18 new products
will be engineered and produced in house to produce 708 horsepower from the
Sonata.”
Complementing
the extensive overhaul under the hood, Bisimoto wrapped its 2015 Sonata in
custom laminated body wrap and graphics. The interior has been given a sporty
feel with the addition of racing harnesses, AEM wideband gauges and EK Autoworx
interior paint. Rounding out the exterior look is a Bisimoto front splitter and
aero package, Fifteen52 18-inch aluminum wheels and Burns stainless exhaust
system.
