Rounding up Hyundai's 2013 SEMA Show lineup and following the already announced Bisimoto Genesis Coupe, Veloster EGR, Genesis Coupe Legato and JP Edition Genesis Coupe, is the Fox Marketing Veloster Turbo.

According to the Koreans, it's "the most powerful street-focused Veloster Turbo ever", with the car's extensively modified 1.6-liter turbocharged unit delivering an impressive 370 horsepower.

Other performance upgrades made to the Veloster Turbo include an array of new suspension bits such as the fully-adjustable ARK Performance coil-overs, plus 6-piston front calipers with carbon fiber ducting and bigger alloys wrapped in beefy sports wheels.

A new aero package along with a unique paint job and racing seats inside complete the tuning job. For more details on the upgrades, scroll down for the full list.

Surprise, Surprise…Another Hyundai Genesis Coupe for SEMA Show

If there's one thing we're certain about the upcoming 2013 SEMA Show in Las Vegas, November 5-8, it's that there will be plenty of tuned Hyundai Genesis Coupes going around. The Korean carmaker itself has already announced three concepts, the latest one of which was teased today.

The JP Edition Genesis Coupe is the collaborative effort of Hyundai and tuner John Pangilinan who we're told "is known in the tuner community for selecting retina-bending color themes for his Hyundai SEMA concepts".

For this year's edition of the show, Pangilinan chose a custom-developed Atlantis Blue exterior color that covers a new wide-body kit with extended wheel arches designed by Jon Sibal, with the car riding on 19-inch MORR VS52 concave mono-forged wheels shod in Toyo Proxes tires size 275/30 ZR19 front and 315/25 ZR19 at the rear.

The Genesis Coupe's interior is said to be fitted with RECARO Cross Sportster seats dressed in a combination of custom Katzkin suede and leather, a high-end audio system and V-LEDS lighting.

As for the powertrain and chassis, upgrades include an AEM cold air intake, ARK Performance exhaust, turbo downpipe, Brembo Gran Turismo brake kit with oversized 15-inch calipers and an array of new suspension bits.

Boo! It's Hyundai's Zombie Survival Machine from the New York Comic Con

I’m not sure why any automaker would want to be identified as a manufacturer of zombie-slaying machines, but Hyundai doesn't seem to have a problem with it. Who knows, maybe they’re thinking anything is possible in the future and a car equipped to kill zombies may open up a whole new lucrative segment for them.

Anyway, following the computer renderings of the Santa Fe Zombie Survival Machine designed by a fan, Galpin Auto Sports built the car, with the official presentation scheduled for today at the New York Comic Con. Anson Kuo’s Santa Fe design was picked as the winner out of more than 82,500 fan submissions on The Walking Dead Chop Shop configurator app.

It looks like the fan really put some thought into the project, taking care of “practical” details as well. “I knew knives and blades would be the best bet for weaponry – they could slice and dice the zombies without releasing any ammunition. Basing the design on the Santa Fe allows space for extra passengers as well as weapons, supplies and all the other necessary items needed during a real zombie apocalypse,” Kuo said.

The camouflaged Zombie Survival Machine features knife blades, an automatic crossbow, razor-wired windows, three machine guns, a samurai sword, aluminum armor and a muffler silencer – so you know, it can roll undetected […].

The special Santa Fe will be on display at the Future US booth, along with a zombie make-up artist, limited edition giveaways, and more. The Hyundai and Future US displays will be located at Booth #542 on the Javitz Center show floor.
