Hyundai Bisimoto Santa Fe for SEMA

Hyundai never disappoints at the annual SEMA Show in Las Vegas, and for 2016 it's bringing its most aggressive lineup yet of SUVs, hatches and coupes. We'll have to wait until November for a live look, but, for now, here's a quick preview.

This first concept was built with the help of tuner Bisimoto and is based on Hyundai's usually staid Santa Fe SUV. The red-and-white "Santa-Fast" was converted to rear-wheel drive and lays down 1,040 hp from its flex-fuel turbocharged Hyundai 3.8-liter Lambda V6. The motor is positioned longitudinally in this application, as opposed to transversely in the street car. Full boost is rated at 39 psi.

“Bisimoto takes pleasure in making any vehicle fun to drive, even a larger SUV,” said Bisi Ezerioha, owner of Bisimoto. “Our Santa-Fast SUV is a proof-of-concept vehicle with driving capabilities that our customers can count on every day they turn the key.”

There are about 100 upgrades to this jelly-bean-shaped rocket, so we'll just hit the highlights:

Custom twin-turbo kit
AEM electronics
Five-O racing injectors
Turbonetics turbos
Hyundai Equus(!) rear differential
Six-speed manual conversion
KW coilover suspension
Bisimoto axles and halfshaft
19-inch wheels, Toyo tires and Buddy Club four-piston brakes

The second SEMA concept sees Hyundai partnering with extreme drink maker (we suppose that's a thing now) Rockstar Energy for this nitrous-powered Santa Fe. It uses Hyundai's 3.3-liter Lambda V6 to drive all four wheels. Hyundai didn't give a full hp output on the off-roader, but we've called to check.

Other upgrades include:

AEM cold air intake
Mishimoto cooling system
Nitrous oxide injection system
R1 6-piston front, 4-piston rear, big brake system
2.0 KING coilovers front
2.5 KING shocks with finned reservoir rear
Custom suspension setup with new tie rods and control arms
Nology high-performance wires

Hyundai Veloster SEMA concept

The Veloster concept by Gurnade Inc. emphasizes the stock car's stance with flares, splitters, racing canards, custom spoiler and a set of lightweight, three-piece forged wheels. The intercooler, downpipe, cold-air intake and ECU tune come from 845 Motorsports, and ARK Performance made the cat-back exhaust.

As for the chassis, NEO Motorsports supplied the coilovers and brake kit; Pierce Motorsports did the strut bar, rear torsion bar and tie brace; and Rotiform provided the 19-inch wheels.

Finally, Hyundai and ARK Performance joined up to produce this Elantra concept with flares, racing wheels and new front and rear fascia designs. The Elantra's not a bad canvas to start from and it's our favorite of the bunch, so far. We wouldn't be surprised to see a few more before the end of the month.

Other upgrades on this Elantra include:
