Ok, yeah it's not a production car but something being done for the SEMA show.
QUOTE BISIMOTO ENGINEERING BUILDS 600+ HP HYUNDAI ELANTRA GT CONCEPT FOR 2012 SEMA SHOW
COSTA MESA, Calif., Oct. 22, 2012 – Hyundai teamed up with California-based tuner, Bisimoto Engineering, to develop a one-of-a kind SEMA show car. In the Elantra GT's first concept appearance at SEMA, Bisimoto gave the car a complete re-working with an emphasis on outrageous performance gains. Starting with forged Arias pistons, Bisimoto con-rods and Turbonetics turbocharger, AEM water-methanol injection and Bisimoto high-pressure injectors, the Bisimoto Elantra GT is one of the highest specific-output Hyundais ever created, muscling 600+ horsepower out of the 1.8-liter "Nu" engine family powerplant. This concept will be unveiled at the 2012 SEMA Show with a variety of other Veloster and Genesis Coupes under the Hyundai banner. "At Bisimoto Engineering, we strive to deliver the most performance wrapped up in the most unexpected packages," said Hedi Kim, Vice President, Sales Marketing, Bisimoto Engineering. "When the Elantra GT was introduced by Hyundai, we knew it would be a perfect platform for us to showcase our tuning prowess. With our experience in forced induction and small-displacement engines, we focused on raw horsepower with this SEMA concept. We think the final product is a great example of just what can be achieved with turbocharging and engine tuning in the present day." Besides the engine upgrades, the Bisimoto Elantra GT hosts an extensive list of interior and exterior modifications. Building upon European design cues, the Elantra GT adds an ARK custom body kit, a JFN full roll cage, Bisimoto racing seats and harnesses, and custom interior. This concept is an assault on the senses that promises to be a must-see at this year's SEMA show. The comprehensive list of Bisimoto enhancements includes: Powertrain Modifications Bisimoto-built 1.8L "NU" family Hyundai engine Bisimoto steel rods, turbo kit, intake gasket, injectors, and web level 2.4 camshafts Arias forged pistons AEM Series 2 EMS, and smart IGBT coils MSD coil wires NGK Iridium spark plugs PurOl Oils Bisimoto/Turbonetics BTX6462 turbocharger, blow-off, wastegate Spearco intercooler Golden Eagle sleeved block, and intake manifold Griffin Radiator Supertech valvetrain Vibrant Vanjen clamps and stainless hardware AEM water-methanol kit AEM 320lph fuel pump ARP head, main, and wheel studs Portflow custom headwork VP Streetblaze 100 fuel Kinsler fuel filters Chassis/Suspension Modifications JNF roll cage Progress coilover suspension and sway bar Buddy Club P1 Racing SF Challenge Wheels, 18x8.5 Bisimoto-spec Action 2MS Clutch Exterior Modifications Gatorwrap custom laminated body wrap Type 2 graphics ARK body kit Denmatic design scheme Bisimoto Extreme Dimensions hood and aero upgrades Burns Stainless muffler and hardware Interior Modifications Bisimoto racing seats and harness Bisimoto reservoir socks Racepack IQ3 dash AEM wideband failsafe module Odyssey ER-25MJ dry cell battery Rywire mil-spec harness GJ braided lines Rueda interior paint -------------------- |

It would be real nice if this jump started some aftermarket parts availability here in the states. Heck, I'd be more than happy with half that HP!!!

That's a heck of a lot of power for those front wheels to handle. Here's hoping the market opens up for these things.

Considering the increased popularity of Hyundai nowdays and the increased options for other Hyundais (Veloster, Gen Coupe most notably) There is a better chance of some decent parts for the Elantra compared to days of old.

600HP in FWD form is completely useless for anything other than drag racing. Hell, look at the MazdaSpeed3. 270hp is almost more than the front wheels can handle.
