  • The Force Awakens with Top 5 Star Wars Themed Cars

    Top 5 of the Most Attractive Star Wars Themed Cars“Star Wars: The Force Awakens” is probably the most discussed topic now. And it should be since this movie has left an indisputable and strong mark in the consciousness of at least three generations. From grandparents to grandchildren, everyone is going to the movie theaters with expectations of a grandeur experience. We are also excited about this world-movie-happening and this is why we decided to make a Top 5 of the Most Attractive Star Wars Themed Cars. This is how we are joining the verge of excitement around the premiere of one of the most emblematic films ever created.

    Number 5: Darth Vader’s Viper ACR and Stormtrooper’s Challenger and Charger

    Darth Vader’s Viper ACR and Stormtrooper’s Challenger and Charger Ad

    We put the trio on fifth position, because of the little difference they have in comparison to the original cars. These three were seen rolling on the streets of Los Angeles this weekend, and probably many of you living there had the chance of meeting them. The pair of First Order Stormtrooper-themed white 707-horsepower Dodge Charger SRT Hellcat and Dodge Challenger SRT Hellcat traveled in the company of the intimidating Kylo Ren-inspired wrapped black Dodge Viper ACR.

    Powered by 8.4-liter V10 engine, the beautiful black Dodge Viper ACR produces 645 horsepower (474 kW) and 813 Nm (600 lb-ft) of torque. It transmits all this power onto the road via the Tremec TR6060 six-speed manual transmission. The car also shows-off with Brembo carbon ceramic brakes, 19-inch alloys and exclusive Kumho Ecsta V720 high-performance tires. Since Darth Vader drives this car, we are sure that he has chosen to add the Extreme Aero package, making sure that he will have the highest aerodynamic downforce of any production car.

    Number 4: Blood Type Racing Hyundai Veloster Turbo R-Spec

    Blood Type Racing Hyundai Veloster Turbo R-Spec

    Blood Type Racing has revealed this Veloster Turbo R-Spec at the SEMA show in November this year. It seems that the Veloster has switched to the dark side just in time for the next Star Wars series. It definitely looks like a vehicle that the Sith Lord could drive. It is built with an abundant amount of carbon fiber and dressed in Carbon Black exterior paint scheme, highlighted with a red racing stripe running from the front splitter up onto the hood.

    In addition, there is also a carbon fiber wide-body kit that is accompanied by front-mounted aero canards, front splitter and a rear deck spoiler. Red accents on the custom SSR three-piece wheels, along with red projector “demon eye” headlamps are making this car look really devilish. The force that awakes this car is the 1.6-liter “Gamma” four-cylinder engine, which achieves more than 500 horsepower due to ECU tuning!

    Fiat 500e Stormtrooper Exterior View

    On third position is Fiat’s Stormtrooper themed 500e, which has debuted at the Los Angeles Auto Show this November and has caused great furor. Inspired by the First Order Legion, the exterior livery of this Fiat has unique two-tone black and white custom painting and wrapping, making it look like a helmet.

    The interior of the car was decorated also in the contrasting combination of black and white. The seats got Alcantara treatment, while the dash was painted in white and enriched by the “Star Wars” logo. The First Order insignia can be also spotted on the two-tone leather-wrapped steering wheel. By the way, this 500e should be attributed to the work of the specialists at Garage Italia Customs.

    Mattel Hot Wheels Darth Vader Car is a result of the collaboration between the two franchises, which has been also released in a 1:64 toy variant. This real-size car is powered by an LS3 V8 engine, which generates 526 horsepower (387 kW) and rides on custom red line tires. It also produces heavy breathing sounds associated with the Sith Lord. The powerful engine drives the rear wheels and also has a backlit, side-exit exhaust system. Furthermore, the “nose” of this unique car is made of carbon fiber, and its design is made in that way so it resembles Darth Vader’s mask. The wheels have been specifically designed for this car as are the unique triple headlights and the split windshield. And this is definitely a car worth of first position, because of all the work put on it.

  • Hyundai Releases Couple of Detailed Teasers of IONIQ

    Hyundai IONIQ Exterior TeaserHyundai IONIQ has been revealed in two additional teaser images after it has been introduced as a project a week ago. Now, the new renderings show the entire exterior of IONIQ and some exclusive details of the high-tech interior. It is obvious that the car looks innovative supporting its alternative-fuelling, and has head-turning aerodynamic looks which will offer excellent performance.

    IONIQ will be the first car in the world which will offer a choice of three efficient and ultra-low-emission powertrains. The first one is entirely electric, the second is a combination of a plug-in gasoline and an electric hybrid, and the third will offer gasoline/electric hybrid propelling. In other words, the car is destined to deliver responsive driving experience, which also meets the needs of reducing the impact on the environment.

    SEE ALSO: Here is Why Hyundai IONIQ Breaks the Hybrid Stereotype 

    This ideology is reflected in the name of IONIQ, which references elements of its creation. ION is an electrically-charged atom, linking to the car’s clever combination of electrified powertrains. The second part of the name references how unique this car is to Hyundai’s range, while the Q is depicted in the car’s logo as a visual breakthrough.

    Exterior

    The first image shows that Hyundai IONIQ has a sleek, coupe-like silhouette. There are a lot of intriguing details, contributing for enhanced aerodynamic characteristics. The contours will minimize wind resistance and efficiently manage the airflow around the exterior. The front of the car is typical for Hyundai’s design, and features signature hexagonal grille with active ‘flaps’ that can direct airflow over the car. At the grille we see a gloss-black element that extends outwards to the new headlamps with integrated ‘C’-position lights.

    Interior

    Hyundai IONIQ Iterior Teaser

    There is nothing much shown of the cabin. But we can see that it is smooth, elegant and clutter-free. There will be probably an efficient utilization of interior space as well as layout of control functions. The surfaces appear simple but stylish. Hyundai also said that they will be made of eco-friendly materials to convey a futuristic yet warm cabin ambience.

    Hyundai IONIQ is going to be launched in the beginning of next year. But first, it will be premiered in Korea in January, and in March Geneva and New York.

  • Hyundai Motorsport Reveals i20 Challenger WRC Rally Car

    Hyundai i20 Challenger Front View2016 Hyundai i20 Challenger will be competing at the 2016 FIA World Rally Championship (WRC). The new rally car was unveiled at the team’s factory in Alzenau, Germany. The presentation took place in the heart of what will be Hyundai Motorsport’s customer racing headquarters. And by the way, Hyundai Motorsport also revealed that the company’s upcoming R5 rally car will be also based on the New Generation i20.

    The five-door i20 WRC was developed from scratch. The motorsport team says that the car is both quick and reliable, because it has already accumulated 8,000km of testing prior launch. The result is that it proved that it is quicker than its predecessor, while its drivers said that it also features improved drivability. But the competitive debut of the new car is scheduled for the Rallye Monte-Carlo 2016.

    SSEE ALSO: Here is Why Hyundai IONIQ Breaks the Hybrid Stereotype

    Hyundai i20 Challenger Rear and Side View

    As Hyundai Motorsport’s representatives state, this new car is an evolution of the car in 2013. Even more, although the team is still young, it is far more established in the WRC community, thus showing bolder ambitions for the 2016 season. And what they could be, else then to fight at the front in every stage and to mount a heightened Championship assault.

    Three cars will compete in every round of the 2016 Championship. Their drivers will be Dani Sordo, Hayden Paddon and Thierry Neuville. The trio of drivers will share the #3, #4 and #20 cars during the 2016 motorsport season. And here’s the deal: the precise car-driver composition will differ from event to event, offering the team full flexibility in its Championship strategy.

    Hyundai Motorsport is currently focusing on the opening rally in Monte-Carlo in January. We will then (hopefully) witness the start of the fierce competition for 2016. Stay tuned.

  • Here is Why Hyundai IONIQ Breaks the Hybrid Stereotype

    Hyundai IONIQ First TeaserHyundai IONIQ will make its world premiere in Korea in January and then it will be shown in March during the Geneva International Motor Show, followed by the New York Auto Show. But what is more important is that this car will make a revolution in the alternative fuel automotive industry. It will offer for the first time electric, plug-in gasoline/electric hybrid, or gasoline/electric hybrid powertrain in a single body type. This is how IONIQ will break the hybrid stereotype by delivering entertaining drive alongside great fuel economy and exclusive design!

    SEE ALSO: Hyundai Starts Selling 2016 Sonata Plug-in Hybrid Across the United States 

    IONIQ is a response to the rapidly changing customer lifestyles and it does this via the choice of three low- or zero-emissions powertrain options. The car also embodies Hyundai’s vision to change the automotive paradigm and future mobility.

    Why IONIQ is the Best Name to Describe This Car?

    Hyundai IONIQ, the name, references elements of its creation. We can divide it in three parts to get the idea: ION, I and Q. If you are keen on physics and chemistry as I am, then you should know very well that an ion is an electrically-charged atom. This is a direct link to car’s clever combination of electrified powertrains.

    The second part of the name, I, shows how unique the car is to the Hyundai range, by showing brand’s environmental commitment and willingness to maximize choice for future buyers. At last, the Q represents car’s logo as a visual breakthrough.

    Some Details about IONIQ

    The car will be built on a new platform, which was specifically made for the multi-powertrain options. In addition, the chassis of the car was also optimized for better handling. In its fully-electric (EV) form, the car will be driven by a lithium ion battery. The plug-in hybrid (PHEV) will offer a combination of fuel-efficient energy with battery power. And finally, the hybrid (HEV) variant will use the petrol engine, which will charge the on-board battery that will be responsible for the enhanced efficiency.

    More teasers and information to come soon. Stay with us.

  • Hyundai Teases First Official Genesis Model Dubbed G90

    Hyundai Genesis G90 Front ViewHyundai Genesis G90 has been revealed with two exceptional sketches. Since the motor company has announced that is making the “Genesis” a separate brand (obviously following the example of Citroen and DS), we should expect to see many new vehicles to be born under the name Genesis. Well, the G90 is not only the first one after the official announcement, but it is also the range-topping and the most luxurious one.

    By the way, we have seen this sedan under the name EQ900, but it was introduced only for Korean public. These teasers do not show anything less from what we have seen so far. Elegant design and the abundant technology equipment are all there.

    At the front we see the Genesis emblem, the huge radiator grille and the sophisticated headlamps. There is even a theme that flows along a body-length character line to the long and agile rear lamp cluster.

    And if you like this car so much that you want to see more of it, then you should know that Hyundai Motor is going to launch six new Genesis models by 2020. The market release of the G90 is scheduled for next month in Korea.

The specialists are known for their know-how in the off-road field and this is the first time they are collaborating with Hyundai for a SEMA-related vehicle. The anticipation is strong and as we can see from the teaser sketch, the popular custom CUV promises to be epic!

    Exterior Reconstruction

    RPG says that the most important piece of their project is the suspension. For this reason, they have made the Tucson with six inches over stock height. This allowed for the addition of the massive, 32-inch MTZ P3 tires from Mickey Thompson. What is more, there are also entirely-custom, adjustable shocks and struts system from King Shocks. And if you ask about vehicle’s wheel wells, well, they have been reconstructed, thus creating space for the new setup.

  • Blood Type Racing Reveals First Sketch of SEMA-Built Veloster Turbo

    Blood Type Racing Hyundai Veloster Turbo R-Spec SketchBlood Type Racing is known for their one-off Hyundai SEMA-built vehicles. As the auto event is coming near, we are to see more and more exciting projects. So, here it is the Blood Type Racing Hyundai Veloster Turbo R-Spec’s first sketch. The car is under preparation for this year’s SEMA show and as we can see from the image it has this sinister look and tough presence.

    Sinister Appearance for the Exterior

    It seems that this Veloster has switched over to the dark side, just in time for the next Star Wars series. So, let’s get into details with this car’s demanding look. First thing to mention is the amount of carbon fiber. The evil appearance of the car began with a “Carbon Black” paint job, accented with a red racing stripe running from the front splitter up onto the hood.

    SEE ALSO: BTR Hyundai Genesis Coupe in Preparation for SEMA Show

    In addition, there is also a carbon fiber wide-body kit that is accompanied by front-mounted aero canards, front splitter and a rear deck spoiler. The trio also provides better down force at speed. Red accents on the custom SSR three-piece wheels, along with red projector “demon eye” headlamps are what make the car look that demonic.

    Devil in the Engine

    Under the hood of the car is the 1.6-liter “Gamma” four-cylinder. To make the car more harmonious with its exterior, BTR added to the engine new cylinder sleeves, a high-boost turbocharger from Garrett, and custom connecting rods and pistons. Using an ECU, the tuners managed to achieve more than 500 horsepower!

    Exclusive Cabin

    How about the interior? There are no sketches showing the work inside, however, BTR is saying that they have stripped it down and given it full, race-spec treatment with the addition of a four-point roll cage. They have also added Sabelt bucket seats, harnesses and steering wheel, along with audio upgrades from Rockford Fosgate and Tanabe OLED Revel gauges.

    If you want to follow Hyundai and BTR at the SEMA show, just make sure you search for the #HyundaiSEMA on Twitter. The car will be revealed on November 3 at SEMA Show in Las Vegas.

  • Hyundai Solus Genesis Will Debut at Hyundai’s SEMA Event

    Hyundai Solus GenesisThe long-term partnership between Hyundai Motor America and ARK Performance has delivered us the latest details over the sport-inspired Solus Genesis Coupe which will be a special blend of performance and exclusivity and it will be unveiled at the Hyundai’s SEMA press conference on 3 November.

    For this project ARK included performance and luxury features that will together create a premium coupe machine that will have the chance to compete with top rivals from all around the globe. Based on the success of the AR 500 Genesis Sedan this vehicle will demonstrate far more aggressive and massive look, while the interior will be completely redesigned with new dashboard and special sporty steering wheel.  And of course, as every contemporary vehicle, this beast will include numerous carbon-fiber elements.

    The whole Solus Genesis Coupe project is sponsored by Quaker State and Hyundai Assurance Car Care Express. In fact, Hyundai team recommends Quaker State even for its factory fill motor oil. How cool is that?

    Furthermore, the vehicle will be geared with Hyundai’s 3.8-liter “Lambda” V6 unit that now comes with Rotrex supercharger and further enhanced components. This system delivers a total of 500 hp (367 kW) to the rear wheels via a special 6-speed manual gearbox. And ARK Legato’s trunk spoiler and the carbon fiber front splitter further contribute to vehicle’s aggressive stance.
