The first model of Santa Fe from Hyundai Motor Co. had debuted at the North American International Auto Show held at the Cobo Center in Detroit, Michigan in 2010.
Now the company is going to roll out a customized version of the Santa Fe with an engine that can generate a massive 1,040 Horsepower. This customized Santa Fe has been assembled with many components that have been taken from the models like the Hyundai Genesis R-Spec, Lambda V6, and the Hyundai Equus, whose engines generated an output of a whopping 1,040 horsepower. According to Bisimoto personnel, the upcoming upgrades have been claimed to be the best ones ever yet for the model.
The upgraded Santa Fe might be unveiled at the SEMA show which will be held in Las Vegas, but the Japanese automaker seems to be revealing all the details about the upgraded potential of its customized Hyundai Santa Fe SUV.
The Upcoming Upgrades to the Engine
According to a Truck Yeah report, to create this monster tuner Bisimoto has incorporated the Lambda V6 engine with 3.8-liter capacity, into the Santa Fe model. All thanks to the twin-turbo kit running the Turbonetics TNX 30/56 Turbos, the vehicle will now garner a boost of almost 39 pounds.
Moreover, the driveline of the automobile is customized with an RWD whose component has been derived from the rear differential of the Hyundai Equus. The vehicle runs on a power generated from the Hyundai Genesis R-Spec with a six-speed manual transmission. With this, the airflow into the automobile is supported by the 2200CC injectors. According to the Bisimoto personnel, these updates of the Hyundai Santa Fe V6 model generated an engine power of 290 hp. However, according to another news report from Auto Blog claimed that the 290 horsepower is the engine’s stock capacity, whereas it is actually capable of generating 1,040 horsepower capacity.
