Will Hyundai ever release a turbo Accent?

Default Will Hyundai ever release a turbo Accent?

Or at least some type of rally edition as a special offering? I know a turbo accent would cut into the sales of the genesis and veloster and maybe even the sonata turbo but I think an accent with more horsepower and tuned suspension would do great especially at its price point that would come in below the turbo models.

Yeah they probably will offer a 1.0l 3cyl turbo at some point. MAYBE a 1.2l 4cyl turbo.



As far as a performance turbo version goes probably not.

Shark Racing sales a bolt on Turbo kit, pretty pricey around $4300, and you have to send them your ECU (?) to have it reprogrammed for it... since i had my 2000 Accent back in the day Shark Racing has been the pretty much go to place for Hyundai stuff... Haven't heard of anyone else selling what they do for them..
