The Hyundai Veloster is a compact three-door car first produced in 2011 by the Hyundai Motor Company, with sales beginning in South Korea in March 10, 2011 and in the United States since the fall of 2011.[not verified in body] It is the first of Hyundai's new Premium Youth Lab sub-brand, which is targeted for the young generation of drivers.[1] It was unveiled on January 10, 2011, at the Detroit auto show, and fills the void left when Hyundai discontinued the Tiburon after the 2008 model year.[2]

The car differs from many competitors with its asymmetrical door configuration, featuring one large door on the driver side and two on the passenger side. In the USA, the Veloster is equipped with BlueLink, a new telemetics system which will eventually be standard on all Hyundai models. The system is comparable to OnStar in GM vehicles, and provides customers with automatic crash notification, vehicle diagnostics, and remote control of vehicle features, among others.
The turbocharged model includes 1.6-liter turbocharged GDI four-cylinder engine rated for either 186 PS (137 kW; 183 hp) at 5,500 rpm or 150 kW (204 PS; 201 hp) at 6,000 rpm depending on market, and 27 kg·m (265 N·m; 195 lb·ft) at 1,750-4,500 rpm, sport-tuned engine intake and exhaust note, sport-tuned steering, unique front fascia, foglights and ground effects, Hyundai-first Matte Gray paint, 18-inch alloy wheels with chrome inserts and Kumho Solus KH25 215/40R18 85V tires, projection headlights with unique LED headlight accents, side mirrors with turn signal indicators, LED taillights, supervision cluster, leather seating surfaces with driver's lumbar support, heated front seats, turbo exclusive Graphite Black interior with Blue accents and headliner graphics.

The Veloster Turbo was unveiled at the 2012 North American International Auto Show. Shown was a concept vehicle with special graphics package featuring a gray and yellow stripe running the length of the car, yellow trim on the front spoiler, side skirts and rear fascia, as well as a checkered flag theme on the side and roof spoiler, was unveiled in 2012 Chicago Auto Show.[12]

The US model went on sale in summer 2012 as a 2013 model year vehicle,[13] with the choice of either a six-speed manual transmission or a six-speed automatic transmission with Shiftronic.
It is a version of Veloster 1.6 GDi, inspired by the proverb 'A rolling stone gathers no moss'. Designed by Hyundai Design North America, it included a canvas roof that opens to the rear or windshield of the vehicle, fixed-gear bikes, a flat black spoiler, glass close out and convertible top rails, black rear reflector bezels, license plate pocket and badge; upfront flat red mirror housings, black front wheels, fog lamp bezels, front grille and badging; flat teal rear wheels, red reflectors and smoked taillights, Large free flowing circular exhaust pipes, big, bold hexagonal front grille, sculpted side skirts, diffuser vents in the lower rear fascia, 18-inch wheels with chrome inserts, 8 individual headlight LED accents. The vehicle was unveiled in 2012 LA Auto Show.
Rhys Millen drove a version of Veloster race car with a 2-litre engine rated 500 hp with all wheel drive in the Summer X Games during 2011 US Rallycross Championship Series.[18][19] The partnership between Rhys Millen Racing and Hyundai Motor America continued for 2012 Global RallyCross Championship season.
In January 2012, Turn 10 Studios announced on the official Forza Motorsport 4 website that the 2013 Hyundai Veloster Turbo as well as Rhys Millen's Veloster Rally Car are available as a free downloadable content. Hyundai partnered with the Rhys Millen Red Bull Rallycross team in the 2011 U.S. Rallycross Championship. During the six planned races in 2011, the on-site activations focused on the performance tuned production vehicles, Genesis Coupe and Veloster, and local brand managers gave attendees tours of the cars and collecting attendee data via surveys on buyer interest and brand consideration. Large flat screens played race footage and rallycross highlights.

A TV commercial titled 'Cheetah', featuring a caged cheetah set to race a new 201 horsepower Veloster Turbo on a long stretch of open road, was premiered during the first quarter of 2012 Super Bowl. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hyundai_Veloster
