“Every year we invite
some of the biggest names in the aftermarket tuning community to build some of
the most exciting vehicles at SEMA,” said Mike O’Brien, vice president, Product
and Corporate Planning, Hyundai Motor
America. “We wanted this year’s builders to develop performance and luxury in
tandem, and from what you see from our lineup of vehicles, they have exceeded
our goals on every measure.”
ARK Performance AR550 Genesis
Hyundai teamed up with ARK
Performance to create an ultra-luxurious, performance equipped 2015 Genesis
Sedan that is capable of going head-to-head with competition like Mercedes-Benz
AMG and BMW M. To build an executive sedan capable of going head-to-head with
the world’s best competition, ARK fused supercharged power with head-turning
styling. To give the vehicle the performance credentials it needs to compete
with the best in the business, ARK focused on the power, handling, and most
importantly the sound of the Hyundai power plant.
They also integrated their high-performance racing technology to introduce a
very unique and bold Hyundai
vehicle.
Bisimoto Engineering Sonata
For a third year in a
row, Hyundai teamed up with
powertrain gurus, Bisimoto Engineering, to create the most-powerful,
front-wheel drive Sonata
in history. To the tune of 708 horsepower, Bisimoto Engineering re-built Hyundai’s 2.4-liter
“Theta-II” four cylinder engine from the ground up. As always, Bisi Ezerioha,
owner and chief engineer of Bisimoto Engineering developed reliability in
tandem with the car’s face-rearranging power. Complementing the extensive overhaul
under the hood, Bisimoto wrapped its 2015 Sonata in custom laminated body wrap
and graphics.
Blood Type Racing Genesis Coupe
The Chicago-based
tuner, Blood Type Racing, set out to create the most-powerful 2.0-liter Genesis
Coupe ever built. Through a combination of a high-boost Precision Turbo
turbocharger, strengthened and fully balanced internal components, a custom
intake, intercooler, full exhaust kit and nitrous injection, BTR achieved their
goal, extracting almost 1000-crank horsepower from the engine. Complementing
the outrageous power, BTR gave the vehicle an aggressive, underground racing
appearance through the addition of a widebody kit from Japanese designer Kei
Miura, with 40mm-wider front and 60mm-wider rear fenders, front bumper lip spoiler,
rear diffuser and a GT wing for added down force.
JP Edition Sonata
With an emphasis on
maintaining his signature build style, the JP Edition Sonata connects Los
Angeles street art culture with automotive enthusiasts. Working closely with
renowned street artist, Mr. 44 and Flexfit | BSCMP, the build features a
balance of performance products, in-car entertainment with the latest
innovations and clean styling, representing the enthusiasts whose cars showcase
an extension of their personalities and lifestyles. Giving the Sonata a
performance boost, John Pangilinan added an AEM cold air intake, a MagnaFlow
exhaust kit and a hot charge pipe from Bisimoto engineering.
Toca Signature Edition Genesis
Toca Marketing Group,
the Chicago-based builder who strives to push the limits of aftermarket
fabrication, created its latest Toca Signature Edition vehicle to push the
Genesis’ performance and luxury benchmarks to new heights. Dubbed “Steel
Phoenix,” the car uses Hyundai’s
“Tau” 5.0-liter V8 as the powertrain’s foundation. Toca engineered a one-off,
Garrett twin turbo setup for the vehicle, complete with a full ARK Performance
catback exhaust system, boosting the power output to 600 horsepower. The
vehicle’s interior has been given the executive treatment with the custom black
leather seats with contrasting white stitching, carbon-fiber trim panels and a
Rockford Fosgate sound system.
