RMR and Hyundai are constructing a second Veloster rally car that will be a shared ride between rally champion Marcus Dodd and world record freestyle motorbike rider Robbie Maddison. Millen and Maddison will drive the Veloster rally cars at Summer X Games. A third Veloster rally car will be constructed to compete in the 2WD class in limited number of U.S. Rallycross Championship events and will be piloted by to-be-announced celebrity drivers.<\/span><br \/>\n&#8220;We feel the Veloster is a perfect fit for X Games and the U.S. Rallycross Championship series as we expand our motorsports efforts,&#8221; said Mike O&#8217;Brien, vice president, Product and Corporate Planning, Hyundai Motor America. &#8220;The all-new 2012 Veloster is a playful, fun to drive car and thanks to Rhys and his team we&#8217;re excited to introduce it to racing fans ahead of its launch this summer. I teamed up with Rhys&#8217; father, Rod, nearly twenty years ago for Hyundai&#8217;s original Pikes Peak rally program, so it is great to be back in the sport again with his son inspiring a new generation.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;We feel the Veloster is a perfect fit for X Games and the U.S. Rallycross Championship series as we expand our motorsports efforts,&#8221; said Mike O&#8217;Brien, vice president, Product and Corporate Planning, Hyundai Motor America. &#8220;The all-new 2012 Veloster is a playful, fun to drive car and thanks to Rhys and his team we&#8217;re excited to introduce it to racing fans ahead of its launch this summer. I teamed up with Rhys&#8217; father, Rod, nearly twenty years ago for Hyundai&#8217;s original Pikes Peak rally program, so it is great to be back in the sport again with his son inspiring a new generation.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;The Veloster Concept inspired me to expand Hyundai&#8217;s motorsports program back into their routes of rally,&#8221; said Millen, professional race driver and founder of RMR. &#8220;We&#8217;ve transformed the Veloster&#8217;s lightweight, rigid architecture into a rally car with an engine producing 500-horsepower and 600 lb.-ft. of torque. We hope some of the performance learning&#8217;s from the Veloster rallycross program have a role in the development of future Veloster models.&#8221;<\/p>\n<h4>THE CHASSIS BUILD<\/h4>\n<p>Twelve RMR employees applied everything they know about fabricating racecars into the Veloster rally Car. The production Veloster was stripped to bare metal and the chassis spent five days in an Alkali bath removing all rubber and adhesives. The chassis was also stitch welded for added structural rigidity.<\/p>\n<h4>CARBON\/KEVLAR BODY PANELS<\/h4>\n<p>Millen quickly decided to take the already light weight Veloster and make it even lighter. His crew took molds of the Veloster body panels to replicate them out of carbon\/Kevlar. The hood, doors, quarter panels, front fascia and rear fascia are all built out of carbon\/Kevlar. The carbon\/Kevlar panels are 75 percent lighter than the sheet metal they replaced. This weight-saving approach is carried throughout the car without compromising its powerful curves and surface detail or hidden third door.<\/p>\n<p>Downforce has been further increased by a custom RMR rear wing. The hood is vented to dissipate heat. The curb weight for the car is 2,656 pounds.<\/p>\n<h4>INTERIOR<\/h4>\n<p>The interior of the RMR Red Bull Hyundai Veloster rally car is unrecognizable from its origins as a well-appointed sporty coupe designed with everyday driving in mind. All comfort and convenience features are removed to make way for a custom-fabricated eight-point safety cage and firewall which reinforce the Veloster&#8217;s already stiff chassis. Braces on the A and B pillars also tie into the strength of the body. The safety cage is required for rallying and a Sparco racing seat further protects the driver in the overhauled cockpit.<\/p>\n<h4>SUSPENSION<\/h4>\n<p>The RMR Red Bull Hyundai Veloster rally car utilizes a custom suspension with a lot of travel for the jumps rallycross cars have to make.<\/p>\n<h4>ENGINE AND TURBO KIT<\/h4>\n<p>The Hyundai 2.0-liter four-cylinder engine is further enhanced by a HKS ball bearing turbocharger. The engine is mated to an X-Trac six-speed sequential transmission. The end result is a Veloster that produces 500-horsepower and 600 lb.-ft. of torque.<\/p>\n<h4>WHEELS, TIRES AND BRAKES<\/h4>\n<p>To ensure that the enhanced power plant translates all the way to track performance, RMR added custom built 18-inch HRE wheels and 245\/40-18 Hankook Racing tires. Stopping power comes from 14-inch Alcon brake rotors and six piston Alcon calipers. The entire carbon\/Kevlar body is wrapped in a paint scheme combination of blue, white and orange.<\/p>\n<figure class='gallery-item'>\r\n            <div class='gallery-icon landscape'>\r\n                <a href='https:\/\/www.supercars.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/04\/2012_RMR_VelosterRallycross1.jpg' class='tipi-lightbox'>\r\n\t\t\t\t<img decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"743\" src=\"https:\/\/www.supercars.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/04\/2012_RMR_VelosterRallycross1.jpg\" class=\"attachment-full size-full\" alt=\"2012 RMR Veloster Rallycross\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.supercars.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/04\/2012_RMR_VelosterRallycross1.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.supercars.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/04\/2012_RMR_VelosterRallycross1-300x218.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.supercars.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/04\/2012_RMR_VelosterRallycross1-100x73.jpg 100w, https:\/\/www.supercars.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/04\/2012_RMR_VelosterRallycross1-770x559.jpg 770w, https:\/\/www.supercars.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/04\/2012_RMR_VelosterRallycross1-293x213.jpg 293w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/>\r\n\t\t\t\t<\/a>\r\n            <\/div>\r\n                <div class='wp-caption-text gallery-caption'>\r\n                Hyundai Veloster Rally Car\r\n                <\/div><\/figure>\n<h3>In Detail<\/h3>\n<table class=\"cardetails\" border=\"0\" cellspacing=\"0\" cellpadding=\"0\">\n<tbody>\n<tr>\n<td class=\"label\" align=\"left\" valign=\"bottom\" width=\"30%\">tags<\/td>\n<td class=\"value\" align=\"right\" valign=\"bottom\" width=\"70%\"><a href=\"http:\/\/www.supercars.net\/Search2?INPUT=hyundai&amp;searchType=cars\">hyundai<\/a>, <a href=\"http:\/\/www.supercars.net\/Search2?INPUT=grc&amp;searchType=cars\">grc<\/a><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td class=\"label\" align=\"left\" valign=\"bottom\" width=\"30%\">submitted by<\/td>\n<td class=\"value\" align=\"right\" valign=\"bottom\" width=\"70%\"><a href=\"http:\/\/www.supercars.net\/garage\/4224\/index.html\">admin<\/a><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td class=\"label\" align=\"left\" valign=\"bottom\" width=\"30%\">type<\/td>\n<td class=\"value\" align=\"right\" valign=\"bottom\" width=\"70%\">Racing Car<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td class=\"label\" align=\"left\" valign=\"bottom\" width=\"30%\">released at<\/td>\n<td class=\"value\" align=\"right\" valign=\"bottom\" width=\"70%\">2011 Chicago Motor Show<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td class=\"boldlabel\" align=\"left\" valign=\"bottom\" width=\"30%\">engine<\/td>\n<td class=\"boldvalue\" align=\"right\" valign=\"bottom\" width=\"70%\">Inline-4<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td class=\"label\" align=\"left\" valign=\"bottom\" width=\"30%\">aspiration<\/td>\n<td class=\"value\" align=\"right\" valign=\"bottom\" width=\"70%\">HKS Turbocharger<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td class=\"label\" align=\"left\" valign=\"bottom\" width=\"30%\">displacement<\/td>\n<td class=\"value\" align=\"right\" valign=\"bottom\" width=\"70%\">2000 cc \/ 122.05 in\u00b3<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td class=\"label\" align=\"left\" valign=\"bottom\" width=\"30%\">power<\/td>\n<td class=\"value\" align=\"right\" valign=\"bottom\" width=\"70%\">372.9 kw \/ 500 bhp<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td class=\"label\" align=\"left\" valign=\"bottom\" width=\"30%\">specific output<\/td>\n<td class=\"value\" align=\"right\" valign=\"bottom\" width=\"70%\">250.0 bhp per litre<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td class=\"label\" align=\"left\" valign=\"bottom\" width=\"30%\">bhp\/weight<\/td>\n<td class=\"value\" align=\"right\" valign=\"bottom\" width=\"70%\">414.59 bhp per tonne<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td class=\"label\" align=\"left\" valign=\"bottom\" width=\"30%\">torque<\/td>\n<td class=\"value\" align=\"right\" valign=\"bottom\" width=\"70%\">813.5 nm \/ 600 ft lbs<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td class=\"boldlabel\" align=\"left\" valign=\"bottom\" width=\"30%\">body \/ frame<\/td>\n<td class=\"boldvalue\" align=\"right\" valign=\"bottom\" width=\"70%\">Unitary Steel Monocoque<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td class=\"label\" align=\"left\" valign=\"bottom\" width=\"30%\">driven wheels<\/td>\n<td class=\"value\" align=\"right\" valign=\"bottom\" width=\"70%\">4WD<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td class=\"label\" align=\"left\" valign=\"bottom\" width=\"30%\">wheel type<\/td>\n<td class=\"value\" align=\"right\" valign=\"bottom\" width=\"70%\">HRE<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td class=\"label\" align=\"left\" valign=\"bottom\" width=\"30%\">front tires<\/td>\n<td class=\"value\" align=\"right\" valign=\"bottom\" width=\"70%\">245\/40-18 Hankook<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td class=\"label\" align=\"left\" valign=\"bottom\" width=\"30%\">rear tires<\/td>\n<td class=\"value\" align=\"right\" valign=\"bottom\" width=\"70%\">245\/40-18 Hankook<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td class=\"label\" align=\"left\" valign=\"bottom\" width=\"30%\">front brakes<\/td>\n<td class=\"value\" align=\"right\" valign=\"bottom\" width=\"70%\">Alcon Discs &amp;
