Does the Hyundai Veloster look like it has WRC/ IRC or WTCC potential ?

In my opinion asymmetric design doesn't suit rally/racing use. But it's great looking car for sure.

I saw a rumor on twitter back in late October that Hyundai was bringing a new 2wd rally car to the US. I can't find that post anymore and never saw any info after that.

Has Hyundai already paid their fine for dropping out of WRC in 2003? If they haven't paid FIA, I don't think FIA will accept their entry.

That is Rhys Millen so I almost guarantee that car is accent WRC underneath. Especially since he bought the accent just before the last event of last season.

Apparently, Millen's car is for rallycross, not rally.

It's good for the usa, they are starting to build a good following for rally through x games and rallycross, plus block's gymkhana. Associating the Millen name with Hyundai is big as Hyundai used to have a strong program in the US. Cool car!

Hyundai presents Rallye Veloster Hyundai presses further strongly on the accelerotor pedal. Hardly, the Koreans show one month after the world premiere of the Veloster in Detroit now the Rallyeversion.

US is a big market so it's good for them to have a car in the US rallycross..

Why not Kia, instead of Hyundai?

It's a photoshop artwork (for yesterday's April Fool on my website), ok, but would be awesome!
