LAS VEGAS, Oct. 30 /PRNewswire/ -- Hyundai Motor America showed a
colorful glimpse of the future when it took the wraps off the Elantra
Touring "Beach Cruiser" Concept at the 2007 Specialty Equipment Market
Association (SEMA) show today. The custom concept is derived from the
all-new five-door Elantra Touring, scheduled to arrive in the U.S. in 2008,
taking advantage of the strong resurgence in small hatchbacks. The Elantra
Touring Beach Cruiser Concept was customized by K-Daddyz Kustomz of
Bakersfield, Calif., to capture this future model's high-function and
fun-to-drive character.
K-Daddyz Kustoms Elantra Touring "Beach Cruiser" Concept
K-Daddyz Kustomz is participating with Hyundai for the fifth
consecutive year at SEMA with a world premier. Kyle "K-Daddy" Gann took a
prototype Elantra Touring five-door compact and created the ultimate
Southern California "Beach Cruiser."
A two-tone "Amazing Grape" and "Tango Orange" paint scheme with
Hyundai's "Flying H" tribal graphics highlights the flowing curves of the
concept and a green Polynesian Tiki idol graces the hood. True to the
cruising culture, the vehicle features a front-to-rear panoramic sunroof.
K-Daddyz' team also crafted a full line of interior and exterior billet
accessories along with a custom race exhaust and ground effects kit. This
approach is highlighted by a custom front grille with interlocking "Flying
H" logos.
Performance enhancements include a prototype cold intake system, strut
tower brace and painted engine cover and accessories. Twenty-inch Konig
Rolf Blix 3 wheels matched with low-profile Dunlap Sport Maxx tires,
complete the aggressive and sporty look for the "Beach Cruiser."
The purple and orange paint scheme is carried through to the interior
and is complemented by two-tone brown leather surfaces and matching
interior accents. No cruising car would be complete without
state-of-the-art audio and video capabilities, and K-Daddy delivers with
four rear-seat video screens, eight speakers, five amplifiers and eight
Infinity subwoofers. In signature attention-to-detail fashion, K-Daddy
created billet speaker grilles to match the exterior "Flying H" grilles,
fabricated by Ryno Manufacturing. Gann also covered the five amplifiers in
the trunk with an orange fiberglass "Flying H" hand painted with a purple
outline.
