October 22, 201114 yr Are You The Hyundai Veloster Turbo's Engine? *UPDATED* William Maley - Editor/Reporter - CheersandGears.com October 22, 2011 Since the Hyundai Veloster has come out, the rumor of a more powerful turbocharged engine has been running around. This week, Hyundai has announced a new turbocharged 1.6L I-4 and this could be the rumored Veloster turbo. The new Gamma 1.6T GDI engine, as Hyundai calls it, should be good for 204 hp and 195 lb-ft of torque from 1750 to 6000 rpm. Like the 1.6L GDI currently in the Veloster, the 1.6T takes advantage of gasoline direct-injection to help boost efficiency and lower emissions. Hyundai says the new engine will meet both the stringent California ULEV-2 and Euro5 emissions standards. When reached for comment, Hyundai said they "can't comment on future product," but didn't deny the engine wouldn't come stateside. Update: Tonight at SEMA, CEO John Krafcik announced the Veloster Turbo with the 1.6T will be shown at NAIAS in January alongside the updated Genesis Coupe. Source: Motor Trend
October 22, 201114 yr A little low on torque but compares with my 90 Grand Prix STE Turbo in power and that would spank a Fox bodied Mustang/Capri 5.0L. Hyundai Veloster Curb weight (lbs., M/T / DCT) 2584-2740 / 2657-2813 Final drive ratio (M/T / A/T) 4.267 / 4.813 conservatively estimating 200lbs extra for the turbo necessity's Grand Prix STE Turbo Curb Curb Weight, lbs. auto only 3318 Final drive ratio could be 2.84, 3.06 or 3.33 I can't determine at this time 0-60 mph in 7.00 seconds / Standing ¼ mile 15.30 s It should make for a quick car with decent mileage
