2016 Hyundai Tucson "RPG"
 

Off-road specialists Rockstar Performance Garage has put their not-so-subtle touches on a 2016 Hyundai Tucson, and the result, the Tucson RPG, are fantastic. 
 
They've beefed up the suspension, thereby adding 6" to the CUV's height, and carved out the wheel wells to accommodate 32" tires on 17" rims.  They've also upgraded the turbon piping, and re-done the exhaust, intake and intercooler, boosting the output from the 1.6-liter 4-cylinder engine. 
 
With the blacked-out exterior and LED light bar completely the look, Rockstar has taken an excellent but take CUV and created a serious off-road machine.

Hyundai is Leading the way with the Tuscon Fuel Cell

 
Since the gas crisis back in the 1970's we've all been hearing about alternative fuels for vehicles.  While electric and hybrid vehicles have come a long way in the past 20 years, the next big thing in non-gasoline based cars could well be the Hyundai Fuel Cell. 
 
 
At present it is sold only in California, as the Los Angeles area builds more Hydrogen filling stations.  The 265 mile range is closer to a traditional combustion engine than most electric vehicles.  Aside from getting away from oil dependence, the only emissions from this Tucson is water. 
 
It will be a few years before we see if the Hydrogen Fuel Cell technology takes off, but Hyundai has been willing to make the bold steps necessary to advance the technology. 


Can we have the Hyundai Vision-G soon? Please?


 
Hyundai unveiled their Vision-G concept car at the Concors d'elegance in California last month.  Beautiful inside and out, and with a powerful V-8 engine, the Vision-G would be Hyundai's major entrance into the luxury car space.  Here's hoping we will see it on our Showroom floor sooner rather than later.
