2015 Hyundai Veloster Turbo R-Spec

The heart of the Turbo R­-Spec is the responsive, 1.6­liter, direct­injected, turbocharged engine, along with unique design cues and enhanced chassis tuning. Sport suspension and steering settings have been retuned for optimum responsiveness, with higher spring rates and a more rigid transmission mount. Turbo R­Spec is available only with the 6­speed manual transmission, and a short­throw B&M Sport Shifter has been added for a tighter, more direct shift feel.
On the exterior, R­-Spec offers available sporty red­accented front splitter and side blades, with R­Spec badging on the rear hatch. Inside, red leatherette bolsters with red/black cloth insert sport seats complement special embroidered­logo R­-Spec floor mats for a sporty ambience. Veloster Turbo R-Spec is available in four colors: Elite White, Ultra Black, Marathon Blue and Sprint Gray.
In keeping with its purist driving focus, some standard equipment from the Turbo model has been deleted from the R­-Spec, such as proximity­key entry with push­button start, premium gauge cluster, side mirrors with turn­signal indicators, driver’s auto­up window, high­gloss interior cues and full­faced heated leather seats.
The Gamma 1.6 liter four­cylinder engine is the smallest Hyundai engine to use direct injection. This technology helps deliver more power, superior efficiency, lower emissions and higher reliability.
With direct ­injection, the Gamma 1.6­ liter engine with manual transmission delivers a peak output of 138 horsepower at 6,300 rpm and maximum torque of 123 lb.­ft. at 4,850 rpm. The Gamma engine with dual­ clutch transmission delivers 132 horsepower at 6,300 rpm and 120 lb.­ft. of torque at 4,850 rpm. The Gamma also features Dual Continuously Variable Valve Timing, an electronic throttle control, a roller timing chain, variable induction and innovative anti­friction coatings.
The 2015 Veloster line­up includes two highly differentiated models, the Turbo R­-Spec, and the Veloster RE:FLEX Edition, appealing specifically to both performance and design enthusiasts. Veloster continues to attract Hyundai’s next generation of buyers, earning numerous accolades including the Polk Automotive Loyalty Award, Bloomberg’s “Best Economy Car,” one of Kelley Blue Book’s “10 Coolest New Cars under $18,000”.
