If you love cars, you have probably already clocked onto the contents of the Detroit Motor show, which is going on as we speak. It is, as with all motor shows of this ilk, packed to the brim with new releases and exciting concepts.

Although I am sure that many cars are more wildy exciting than this one, the Veloster is perhaps the most anticipated car currently on show. After all, Hyundai have been talking and hinting about this car for ages, and it is only now that petrol-heads are getting a chance to have a look at one in the flesh.

The Veloster - Stylish and Sporty

So, what is the word on the street?

Well, first the facts. The Hyundai Veloster is destined to be Hyundai’s smartest and sportiest three door hatchback. The exterior is sleek, smart and above all energetic, somethign that is matched quite neatly by the obvious effort that has been put into the engine and performance.

Despite achieving a neat 40MPG, the Veloster delivers 138 HP, and a drive that is likely to be sporty and powerful. Considering that their specific output: 86.3 HP per litre is better than any of their competitors, you wouldn’t expect to have quite such an enjoyable driving experience.

Yup, you heard me right, this is a car that by the sounds of it won’t only look stunning, but will drive pretty damn well too. I predict it holding its own well against its in-market competitors. Feedback all around seems to be great, so I think this deserves a thumbs up.
