Kia to turbocharged Koup

Kia Cerato Koup

Kia is gearing up to inject some excitement into its sleek Koup.

The Korean brand is set to finally install sports car performance in its two-door coupe with sources close to the company indicating the next Cerato Koup due in 2013 will be turbocharged.

The Koup is expected to get the same 1.6-litre turbocharged engine as the three-door Veloster Turbo recently unveiled by Kia's parent company, Hyundai.

That means around 155kW of power and 265Nm of torque (up from 115kW and 194Nm with the 2.0-litre engine), which in the Veloster Turbo translates to a sprint from 0-100km/h in a sprightly 7.5 seconds.

The Koup should follow the Veloster Turbo's lead in bypassing the six-speed dual-clutch auto that is available with non-turbocharged version of the 1.6-litre engine because it's unable to handle the increased power outputs of the uprated engine.

Instead, the choice of a conventional single-clutch six-speed auto and a six-speed manual are the likely choices.

2013 Hyundai Veloster Turbo

2013 Hyundai Veloster Turbo

The Veloster is getting a horsepower boost for 2013 with a new Turbo model joining the lineup. I wonder if it available in our local market?

2013 Hyundai Veloster Turbo comes with power from the 1.6-Liter Direct-Injected Gamma Four-Cylinder Engine are capable of spraying up to 201 horsepower and 194 lb-ft of torque. Moreover, it's supported by the Wastegate System and Twin-Scroll Turbocharger that intergrated with the exhaust manifold, so able to provide faster throttle response and significant. 2013 Veloster Turbo expected to reach 0-60 mph in 7 to 8 seconds.

To perfect it all, Hyundai decided to put the 6-Speed Automatic Transmission and 6-Speed Manual Gearbox on 2013 Veloster Turbo. Of course, it's an option for you and depends on individual taste. However, for EPA fuel economy ratings produces were quite surprised by producing 27 mpg in the city and 38 mpg on the highway.

Available new color options "Matte Gray Hue" for turbo model and the eight individual LED accent lights that were around the headlights.

Hyper Festival Japan

This past weekend the TRUST R&D guys had a little fun themselves at the 2009 Hyper Festival at the Tsukuba Circuit in Japan. The Hyper Festival is a event geared around popular Japanese models for tuning. Some of the most popular at this event were the Mitsubishi Evolution, Subaru Impreza, and the Suzuki Swift.
In Japan, the Suzuki Swift has a growing cult-like following (something like the Scion movement in California) The economical price and small size make them an ideal tuning choice for many entry level, grass-root racers. One of leaders in this market is TRUST, having developed many aftermarket products for this popular JDM model, including a bolt-on supercharger kit, suspension, brakes and various other tuner parts.

One of the mini event for the Hyper Festival was a 3 lap all Suzuki Swift race. With Japanese Super GT driver Takeshi Tsuchiya at the wheel the yellow GReddy Super Swift, the team posted the fastest Swift time in practice and the race (1'08"754.) But, because of the lottery style qualifying order, the GReddy Super Swift started from 13th out of 15. But by the end of the 3 lap race, the car had passed its way all the way up to a 4th place finish. Pretty good for just a fun day at the track...

We wonder if Suzuki USA will bring this fun little car to the American market?
