FOUNTAIN VALLEY, Calif., Sept. 12, 2018 – As car buyers eagerly await the upcoming launch of the 2019 Veloster N, #Hyundai is fueling the anticipation by grassroots racing the Veloster N and #ioniqelectric in the annual OPTIMA® Batteries “2018 Search for the Ultimate Street Car.”

The #ioniqelectric returns to defend its 2017 National Championship in the new and exciting GTE class. Entering its first full year of competition, the Veloster N is challenging the top GTC class competitors. “The OPTIMA Search for the Ultimate Street Car competition is the perfect venue to allow #Hyundai to showcase its expanding performance envelope and introduce the N-brand vehicles to performance enthusiasts,” said Joshua Vedder, senior group manager, Customer Connect, #Hyundai Motor America. “The vehicles are modified in a way that mirrors a typical enthusiast – gripper tires and suspension, increased power, etc.; and then tested in this severe environment. This is one way we ensure our vehicle will exceed our customers’ expectations.”

Both the 275-horsepower Veloster N and the 201-horsepower #ioniqelectric were upgraded for the series and will compete in the second to last #Event of the season. The teams are hoping to qualify for the OPTIMA Ultimate Street Car Invitational.
