Unleashing the beast

HYUNDAI’s Santa Fe will be getting a serious upgrade. The American branch of the Korean motoring powerhouse has unveiled the prototype of what is surely the wildest reboot in history. 

Working with Rockstar Performance the firm has transformed the modest family-friendly SUV into a monstrous nitrogen-powered off-road beast with 35 inch tyres. 

With KING suspension, a custom Magnaflow exhaust system, six piston calipers on the front brakes, custom roof-rack, Mishimoto cooling system and four-wheel drive, it’s safe to say that the future destroyer, set to debut at the SEMA show in Vegas, is a spectacular slap in the face to the sleek, electric trend of recent months. 

The modified 3.3 litre V6 engine will include a nitrous-oxide injection system and a fierce audio system and WARN winch will make the concept car one to watch once it roars off the production lines.
