Hyundai has brought a few strange concepts to SEMA the past few years, with jacked-up Santa Fe SUVs and hypermiler-inspired Ioniqs, but this year the theme is Veloster, and theres a new performance version thats sure to garner some attention.Its called the Veloster N Performance Concept, and to us it looks like Hyundais stopped in Japan for some upgrade parts on the way to Las Vegas.With a huge, angular rear wing; large intake scoops adorning the fascia and hood; and air deflectors on the front bumper and side skirts, you could mistake this thing for a Honda Civic Type R. All parts are made by KWA.Like the Type R, the changes arent just skin-deep. An HR coil-over suspension and Daewon anti-roll bars have been fitted, as well as upgraded brakes with 15-inch rotors and six-piston calipers in the front, 14.2-inch rotors and four-piston calipers in the rear.Four 19-inch OZ wheels wrapped in 235-section-width Pirelli P-Zero Corsa tires keep it stuck to the pavement. A cat-back exhaust from Capristo and a WIF chassis brace stiffen up the body.As if a performance car needed more luxury, this one has been fitted with a crazy amount of Alcantara and aluminum. Exterior parts are accented with orange instead of red pinstripes.The vehicle wont be for sale in this spec, per se, but Hyundai says tthe upgrades have a high potential for aftermarket availability, meaning youll probably be able to put one together by yourself in an afternoon or

The Volkswagen Atlas Basecamp concept is just that — a concept with a trailer. Should you buy it? This is a niche product aimed at a niche clientele.
