We have just confirmed that this car is being built with a unique door configuration, which has yet to be shared with the public and the car will NOT be called the Veloster. This vehicle will be a two-door around 140hp and Hyundai is shooting for 40 MPG as a non hybrid.
We will post more information about this vehicle right here as it comes in!

World Hyundai Matteson announces the very first spy shots of the new 2012 Hyundai Veloster coupe concept car, which is scheduled to go on sale in late 2010 or early 2011 and is expected to replace the discontinued Tiburon coupe within the U.S. market.
Inspired by the two-door Veloster concept car from the 2007 Seoul auto show, the production-ready Veloster coupe packs an attractive exterior body style with slopping roof-line and short front and rear overhangs.
According to John Krafcik, the CEO of Hyundai Motor America, the production-ready model will look 70-80% like the Veloster concept. When interviewed by Inside Line in December 2009, Krafcik also revealed the production version of the Veloster will sport a surprise body style feature that has never before been seen in the small car segment.
Codenamed FS, the all-new Hyundai Veloster coupe features a host of new powertrain technologies under the hood, including a powerful turbocharged four-cylinder engine, gasoline direct injection -GDI technology and dual-clutch automatic transmission.
It was revealed earlier this month that the showroom-ready Hyundai Veloster will be powered by 1.6L four-cylinder engine, which features direct injection technology and churns out impressive 140+ horsepower. The entry-level powerplant is expected to achieve more than 40 mpg!
Another engine option, also rumoured to show up under the hood of new Hyundai Veloster, includes a 175-hp turbocharged 1.6L gasoline engine, which will likely be paired with Hyundai’s new dual-clutch automatic transmission.
