Hyundai released a short video and a few pictures of its new Velocity concept that will be on display at the SEMA Show in Las Vegas.

As the name suggests, the car is based on the Veloster hatchback. Designers at the Hyundai America Technical Centre tweaked the body to make it look more aggressive and added a massive rear spoiler for good measure. The Velocity also rides on 275/35R19 tires.

Cosworth tuned the 1.6L engine to boost output from 201 to 400 horsepower. Of course, the chassis, shocks and brakes have been upgraded as well to handle the extra performance.
