Hyundai Sonata - 708 Horsepower @ SEMA



Hyundai has again teamed with Bisimoto Engineering, allowing the powertrain tuners to build a 708-horsepower flex-fuel Sonata for the SEMA show.





"team is starting with Hyundai's 2.4-liter four-cylinder Theta-II engine that produces 190 ponies and 179 lb-ft of torque in the entry-level Sonata.

As expected, many of the engine components needed to be strengthened to handle the extra power from a high-boost turbocharger. Bisimoto installed new forged pistons, connecting rods, a high-revving valve train and camshafts."

Great engineering feat but still ugly, especially since it's a "show car"....

like putting lipstick on a pig.

Put a bunch of decals and a big ass racer wing on an already ugly car, it still looks like an ugly car.

haha yeah definitely not my taste but - as someone said in another thread - it's kind of appropriate for SEMA and the need to stand out

Bisimoto at work again! That's one hell of a snail they put on there too. Very similar to the work done on small displacement honda engines to make those drag monsters.
