The
Veloster concept has come to life as a production model at this week’s
2011 North American International Auto Show in Detroit. Hyundai’s
Veloster is actually more outlandish than the 2007 design study thanks
to its asymmetric layout with a single door on the driver’s side and two
conventional doors on the passenger-side.

The Veloster’s total
interior volume of 105.3 cubic feet beats all the aforementioned
models, while the automaker also notes that at just 2,584 pounds, its
small coupe is more than 400 pounds lighter than the Scion tC.
