The gradual reveal of Hyundai’s 2017 SEMA show vehicles continues with this, the BTR Edition Hyundai Elantra Sport. Shown here in all its orange glory, this car proves that even something as affordable, uninspiring, and dull as the Elantra can be made SEMA-worthy… you know, as long as you have a team of tuning experts and thousands of dollars to spare. 

At any rate, The BTR Edition Hyundai Elantra Sport is created by Blood Type Racing. The firm has added to the family car’s benign blend of practicality and economy a heavy dose of naughtiness. Among the main highlights of the treatment they have given this beat there is the methanol injection, intake, exhaust and intercooler technologies, tuned suspension and full aero kit. We are particularity taken by the quasi-Liberty Walk wheel arches which must have been an afterthought. The aero kit, too, seems a bit exaggerated. Although, with what they have done to the engine it could very well be an apt addition.
