I don't think the Veloster is copied from other cars, even if it gets ideas from the RX8 / Mini Clubman (rear door). I think they did a very good job with the design. Actually, most of Hyundais these days look nice!
The thing is, dinamically it doesn't even come close to the best european hatches.
The 15th of June we got a day at the company dedicated to the Megane, we're developing a custom map for our exhaust with a very good programmer, a full day at the brake dyno with wideband, temperature sensors etc...
I'm really looking forward to see the results, till now the normal Megane RS 250 tests gave 260 hp from stock, 275+ with the full system.
The Trophy 265 (and the my2012 normal RS has the same engine) has close to 280 hp, with the full system on a cold day it has 300+ hp at the crank!!
I think we're looking at well over
300 hp with € 2.200 of mods. A used Megane in perfect condition can be found at less than € 20.000...
A new € 29.000 GT86 has no chance on the track.
