Using the Veloster's body, it ditches the front-wheel drive, front-engine layout for a mid-engined, rear-wheel drive one. Now that would have gotten your attention i hope!

 

Using a 2.0-litre turbocharged T-GDI engine that is transversely-mounted behind the two-seater cabin and in front of the rear axle, it produces 296bhp and 382Nm of torque, allowing the car to hit 100km/h in 4.7 seconds.

 

Other interesting facts to note include a weight saving of 195kg over the original structure and a weight distribution of 43:57. The car runs on 19-inch monoblock forged alloy wheels and uses aluminium double-wishbone suspension.

 

With so many front-wheel and all-wheel drive hot hatches in the market, this would be an interesting addition to the segment if it does make it into production!

  • Pokemon Leaf Green version: A comprehensive summary

    As the saying goes: You never forget your first. No, I'm not referring to George Washington's autobiography. I'm referring to our first experiences, be it love, job, car, or house, to name a few. And for me, Leaf Green was my first foray into the gaming world of Pokemon (as I've previously mentioned here). Don’t worry, this is more reminiscing and somewhat of a review - of which I feel I am entitled to, having registered over 500 hours of gameplay – and not a life lesson involving hatchets,
