Blood Type Racing (BTR) is in no way new to the SEMA game. The Chicago based company has built several well-known cars for Hyundai’s SEMA display. For this year’s SEMA build, BTR partnered up with Seibon Carbon to build a Veloster whose ultimate goal was to be one of the angriest-looking, performance oriented Velosters in the scene.
On the outside, the Veloster features an array of Seibon Carbon parts. A carbon fiber hood and hatch complement the car’s “carbon black” pain job. Red racing stripes give the build an aggressive touch.
Front-mounted aero canards, front splitter and a rear deck spoiler help with down force at speed. Red accents on the custom SSR three-piece wheels and red projector "demon eye" headlights finish off the Veloster’s exterior.
The interior was stripped down and given the full, race-spec treatment with the addition of a four-point roll cage, Sabelt bucket seats, harnesses and steering wheel.
Under the hood, using the Veloster's 1.6-liter "Gamma" four-cylinder as a starting block, BTR added new cylinder sleeves, a high-boost turbocharger from Garrett, and custom connecting rods and pistons. With a retuned OEM ECU working in tandem with the strengthened engine internals, power output is now more than 500 horsepower, maintaining OEM drivability through use of Hyundai's latest GDI technology.
