The Hyundai Veloster is a compact sports car which began sales in the summer of 2011. It became available for retail sale in North American in the fall of 2011. It was unveiled on January 10, 2011, at the Detroit auto show.The car is different from many competitors as it has one door on the driver side and two on the passenger side. In most of the world the production model uses a direct-injected 1.6
liter 138 hp (103 kW), 123 lb·ft (167 N·m) (@ 4,850 rpm) torque, 4-cylinder engine. A 6-speed manual gearbox is standard while a 6-speed dual-clutch transmission (DCT) with paddle shifters is available as an option. The DCT transmission is developed by Hyundai and is the
first dual-clutch transmission from the company. The Veloster will achieve an estimated 40 mpg-US (5.9 L/100 km; 48 mpg-imp) fuel economy, but does not yet have an official EPA rating.For some markets like the Middle East, the car is offered without GDI making 128hp.
A turbocharged model is planned for the 2013 model year.The car includes 17 inch wheels and 4-wheel disc brakes as standard features. A turbocharged 1.6 Gamma GDI was introduced in the 2011 Seoul Motor Show. It generates 208 hp at 6,000 rpm with 195 ft-lbs of torque from 1,600-5,000 rpm. This engine will be available in 2012. The Hyundai Veloster concept, a 2+2 three-door, glass-roofed hatchback concept car, was unveiled by Hyundai at the 2007 Seoul
Motor Show. It is the third in a series of cars styled by the company at its Namyang Design Center in Hwaseong, Korea.
Its name is a portmanteau of the words "velocity" and "roadster".The platform is based on the same front wheel drive ones in Hyundai Accent and Hyundai Elantra.
