And yes, we have a third tuned Hyundai Equus ready to take the ride to next week's SEMA show in Las Vegas (see the other two proposals here and here). This time the culprit responsible for the tune is Mummbles Marketing, which has created the 450-horsepower-strong, VIP themed "Elegant Equus".
To bling it up and capture the VIP look, the tuning shop has added a five piece body kit as well as a raft of carbon fiber parts including the hood and trunk, plus 22-inch alloy wheels shod in tires size 245/30/22 up front and 265/30/22 at the back. The range-topping Hyundai's interior has also been upgraded featuring custom leather seats, black suede details, and the VIP-necessary curtains.
In addition, Mummble said it will install an Apple iPad to control certain aspects of the car such as ride height, curtains, audio system and windows.
As for the performance enhancements, these include a turbo kit that pushes the 4.6-liter V8 engine's output to a more satisfying 450-horsepower, an Air Lift digital air suspension and bigger brakes all around with six pistons and drilled rotors.
"The Equus is a well-rounded, luxurious car with pure functionality and high-end performance capabilities and our SEMA car will be built with many of the best tools and products for customizing a high-end luxury sedan," said Peter Colello, owner, Mummbles Marketing. "Mummbles' 'Elegant Equus' is the ultimate VIP vehicle and will definitely be a must-see car at this year's SEMA Show."
