Default Mid-engined Hyundai Veloster Spied

I wonder what the price will be if they produce this car.







From the article:

A prototype of a mid-engined Hyundai Veloster was spotted undergoing testing in South Korea.

I would expect if this makes it to production the fact that it's a Veloster only hints at the platform, I would suspect a new body to go along with it.

^^^I agree. Maybe Hyundai is looking into a MR2 style sportscar.

I could maybe see this if the new Honda Beat is sold anywhere aside from Japan, but being a Kei car, and about the only thing in that class, I doubt it on both accounts.

My guess is the Kia GT4 Stinger or possibly a Hyundai version.






Kia hasn’t approved production of the GT4 Stinger or anything like it, and what platform might underpin a production version is still unknown. Logic would seem to dictate that the Kia will ride on a version of the Hyundai Genesis Coupe’s rear-drive architecture, but Kia folk aren’t convinced that the Genesis platform would work for the Stinger’s smaller size; they’re hoping for a dedicated and lighter chassis. The 2874-pound concept is only 169.7 inches long on a 103.1-inch wheelbase. A Genesis Coupe is more than a foot longer, has a 7.9-inch-longer wheelbase, and weighs nearly 3400 pounds with the 2.0-liter turbo.
