The New Hyundai Volester Coupe

New Hyundai Veloster Coupe is coming to Paris Auto Show to celebrate its worldwide premiere!

Hyundai will launch its long-anticipated Tiburon replacement at the forthcoming Paris Auto Show, which opens its doors in October. First showcased at the Seoul Motor Show back in 2007, the brand-new Hyundai Veloster is the carmaker’s answer to the popular Volkswagen Scirocco.

First prototypes have already been spotted undergoing final pre-production testing. The model has been recently caught near Hyundai’s Namyang research and development centre. Unfortunately, the vehicle was heavily masked, but those who saw it up-close reported that it looks really imagehot and very close to the initial concept vehicle.

We have already been confirmed that the up-coming Veloster is going to feature attractive styling by John Krafcik, the president and CEO of Hyundai Motor America - HMA. He once told: “The production-ready Veloster coupe will have quite dramatic styling; even more so than the concept car. We want that car to be bought for its looks!”

Under the hood, the all-new front-wheel-driveHyundai coupe will feature the automaker’s new 1.6L GDI engine, which generates 140+ horsepower. A turbocharged 1.6L gasoline direct injection engine will also be available, according to the sources close to Hyundai. Expect the turbocharged Veloster to pack impressive 200 horsepower! The model is also expected to be the very first Hyundai vehicle to feature twin-clutch gearbox. Also available will be the fel-saving start-stop technology.
