Hyundai Sonata - Bisimoto

Hyundai has announced that is teaming up with Bisimoto Engineering for the third year in a row to create a special vehicle for the SEMA Show in Las Vegas. This year they’ve created a 708 horsepower Sonata.
For this year’s show, the team is used Hyundai’s 2.4-liter 4-cylinder engine as the starting point and through a combination of strengthened internal components – forged pistons, connecting rods, a high-revving valve train and camshafts – a high-boost turbocharger, and a fast-burning, flex-fuel diet, Bisimoto was able to extract 708 horsepower from the engine. Power will be sent to the road through a 6-speed manual transmission.

In addition to the changes under the hood, Bisimoto wrapped its 2015 Sonata in custom laminated body wrap and graphics. The exterior also receives a front splitter and aero package, 18-inch aluminum wheels and Burns stainless exhaust system. The interior also gets a few additions, like racing harnesses, AEM wideband gauges and EK Autoworx interior paint.
