After the Hyundai Veloster Street Concept, 2012 Sydney Motor Show also brings us the Veloster Race Concept. This one has been made by Hyundai Australia and not a tuner, and it’s been engineered to meet all FIA and CAMS tarmac rally competition regulations. Hyundai says this car might see some action in Australia in 2013.
Even though this car is called a Race Concept, it is made as a rally car. They began by stripping a normal Veloster from all its extra garnish and rebuilt it as a rally car. In fact, it’s a multi-talented race car. With a bit of modifications Veloster Race becomes eligible for Australia Production GT, Australia Rally Championship or Asia Pacific Rally competitions.
