HYUNDAI JOINS FORCES WITH BISIMOTO TO DEVELOP 'SANTA-FAST' 1,040 HORSEPOWER REAR-DRIVE SANTA FE SUV FOR 2016 SEMA SHOW
FOÚNTAIN VALLEY, Calif., Sept. 28, 2016 – Hyundai Motor America and Bisimoto have again partnered for the SEMA show, this time developing a 1,040 horsepower, rear-drive 'Santa-Fast' SÚV. Bisimoto is well-renowned for awe-inspiring street, show and race vehicles. With no fear of the unknown, Bisimoto is always on the cutting edge of automotive technology, and the Bisimoto 'Santa Fast' Santa Fe is no exception, pumping out the power from a flex-fuel turbocharged, Hyundai-based 3.8L Lambda V6 powerplant making reliable power, positioned longitudinally and driving the rear wheels.
'Bisimoto takes pleasure in making any vehicle fun to drive, even a larger SÚV,' said 'Bisi Ezerioha, owner of Bisimoto. 'Our Santa-Fast SÚV is a proof-of-concept vehicle with driving capabilities that our customers can count on every day they turn the key.' The Bisimoto team worked exhaustingly on the custom rear-drive and six-speed manual transmission conversions to achieve an OEM-like appearance and function. Full boost for the powertrain is 39 psi, and a boost-per-gear protocol is used to allow for optimal traction.
