The torque steer of front- wheel power delivery tugged at the steering wheel as the g- forces of acceleration shoved me deeper into the sport seat. I started to grin. "Ah, there you go," I mut- tered, patting the stick shift of the 2015 Veloster Turbo and easing off the throttle after that brief burst of automotive hu- bris. It was pretty much the same reaction I'd had the first time I drove the turbo version, not long after its initial unveiling for the 2013 model year. It takes a lot of time and ef- fort to bring a new car to mar- ket; so automotive manufac- turers prefer not to shoot their bolt all at once. They tend rather to string out the release of new product over the course of the follow- ing years, re-stoking consumer interest with follow up ver- sions, maybe adding a more powerful engine alternative, or by adding new technologies, By ROB BEINTEMA Metroland Media The 2015 Hyundai Veloster Turbo, dipped in iconic Vitamin C orange, the 201 hp performance derivative of Hyundai's unique compact three- door hatchback coupe. The Veloster Turbo separates itself from the rest of the Veloster lineup with a bolder hexagonal front grille, sculpted side skirts and bigger 18-inch alloy wheels. new options, new colours every year, or even by varying the lineup with entirely new models. Ditto for Hyundai, the company that brought the new Veloster compact hatch- back to Canada a few years ago. The Veloster caused a stir with its ag- gressively styled curves and lines, com- bining a road-hugging sporty stance with K-tailed, chopped teardrop aerodynam- ics and Hyundai's trademark "Fluidic Styling" touches. Frankly, there wasn't anything else on the road quite like it and it drew com- ments for it UFO-like, hunkered-down styling and youthful character. Early adopters snapped them up as a unique and personal fashion statement. Those kinds of customers tend to focus more on form than function and the 1.6-li- tre four-cylinder engine's 138 hp was prob- ably judged as adequate to suit the style and day-to-day commuting demands. But I think a different pool of customers, gear- heads with performance inclinations, were holding out for the engine the Veloster de- served. And they were rewarded a short year later with the debut of the Veloster Turbo, a performance-oriented sibling boasting a twin-scroll turbocharged 1.6-litre T-GDI en- gine rated at 201 hp and 195 lb/ft of torque.
