Hyundai seems to be very enthusiastic in courting the American tuning community. Not only has the Korean brand supplied three units of its Equus flagship saloon to tuners for SEMA (click to view the work of Rhys Millen Racing, DUB magazine and Mummbles Marketing), they also let RIDES magazine work on a Hyundai Sonata Turbo. Not sure about you, but it’s my first time seeing a modified YF, and it looks great!
This 274 bhp/375 Nm 2.0T that rolled out from Alabama gets a bodykit that includes new front and rear bumpers, side skirts, rear spoiler and roof spoiler, which all work together to accentuate the Sonata’s “fluidic sculpture” design. Other key exterior elements are the matte pearl paint job from BASF, 20-inch Rennen Modular M9 concave wheels with Falken FK452 tyres, smoked taillights and painted headlights. Also included are a matte black debadged front grille, Audi LED fog lights and 3M vinyl carbon wrap on the roof.
RIDES also reupholstered the cabin in a combination of black leather and suede with red stitching plus carbon fibre trim. Residing in the boot are two JBL 12-inch subwoofers paired with two amplifiers. To top things off, a custom quad tip exhaust was installed out back, while an S-Max front mount intercooler replaces the factory unit up front.

Be tahan.How much is that? In my wishlist.haha~
.. speechless……too good…
Wow, much more cooler than the existing one.
Hyundai, please improve on the Sonata’s road noise transmitted through rear tyres. Also, the engine roar is quite loud (compare to Camry and Accord) when you floor it.
Wor, TK lor…
Stormtroopers!
Insanely vulgar , but awesome nonetheless…
The grillzzzzzzzzzzzz..

Love u hyundai..
2010 Renault Megane Trophy 1:24 scale diecast car for sale, anyone?
all ppl was talking hyundai car no resell value,but it’s really coming up in malaysia market,good job hyundai-drive you way
sexayyy!!!!
Ah Beng look! Yuks!
I think Ah Beng is referring to M’sian who modified Proton with replica/cheap stuff.
If we modified a car with expensive n original stuff, those are hobbies. A set of HRE sport rims may cost RM20k, unfortunately, we are in the bolehland where replica stuff are everywhere.
Ah Beng is not for proton cars, it refer to any car modded by low standard workshops
Malaysian! Its time for you to have ur mind changed! No more T & H are the best! Now is the time for Korean to show their talent in making vehicles!
ya, agree with kit..korea car really improve a lot recently..
tq
SONATA? How many Sonata on the road? I hardly across the latest incarnation of Sonata. I guess SD Hyundai should rename it as i45 since old Sonata not strong enough to go on par with Camry-Accord peers.
Pricing-unwise, clearly the reason why slow “sale”.
Bro…fyi,waiting period is 5-6 months for the Sonata Msia….Korean plant cannot meet the world wide demand and their priority is the US/Aus/Euro mkt. and not our puny Japs lovin mkt (too little compare to those lucrative mkt)…
thats why not many on Msia road currently, buyers are still waiting for their Sonata’s and some had already gave up and cancelled their order.
bravo. it’s out of this wolrd babeh!!! awesome
Awesome….
Ugly car now UGLIER …. and pretty “Jeng” as well :)
very nice car, no matter how it looks also better than those ugly VW car…… also big T and Honda can close shop in the future.
OMG VW ugly?? something wrong with your eyes bro!! this hundai looks super ugly….
Pretty women..I gonna ride on you.Bay tahan…Bila mau kena nombor???
Excellent marketing strategy. Sitting there at tuners booth alongside other American cars at SEMA no less. Somebody should arrange for these models to appear at KLIMS too.
Hyundai Sime Darby should improve Service Centre, Proton Service COE and Mutiara far better then your Elite at Glenmarie. Mr Denis time to invest (new bulding) and improve after sucsessfully launch Sonata YF and Tucson ix30.
the new car for the upcoming
NEED FOR SPEED……
awesome and the mod kits seamlessly fit to the body curves and lines. Is the turbo engine is available production engine or from tuner? I wish this to come to Malaysia..
Oh my god, it’s Moby Dick.
Ah beng drive Iswaralution and Wajalution :) wahaha…anyway i really like this car coz it’s so cool!
What??!!! who is mata kayro actually.Pretty toys u said yurk!!! fugly one u look awesome..
I think Korean verhicle are doing quite well recently. They are definitely comparable to the Japs… It’s just that people in MY prefered Japs verhicle due to the availability of spare parts, service centre and wide range of modification potential :) however can see that Hyundai-Kia is picking in MY recently.
Anyway, the new sonata is just sexy…
Wow.. this car look very sporty!!
