But there is a good reason for this, according to a close by anonymous source who spoke with Motor Authority. There is room for a higher-performance version of the car, the source said, though they didn't elaborate. This leaves room for guesswork, with inspiration available from the Genesis Coupe range. There, an R-Spec variant has previously included a stripped-out car that instead featured more aggressive seats, a mechanically adjustable, stiffer, and lower suspension, and some other tweaks meant to enhance on-track performance.
It's likely Hyundai is taking a wait-and-see approach to the Veloster Turbo and is keeping an eye on consumer feedback in order to see if green-lighting a harder-edged version is feasible.
