\"RWD<\/a><\/p>\n

Hyundai released details about a new project called \u201cSanta-Fast\u201d they are bringing to SEMA 2016. They have partnered with Bisimoto Engineering again to build a third generation Santa Fe that will be converted to RWD. Under the hood will be a 3.8 L Lambda V6 that will produce 1,040 horsepower thanks to forged internals and two Turbonetics TNX 30\/56 turbochargers. Behind the engine will be a six-speed manual transmission from a Genesis R-Spec connected to an Equus rear end under a Rothfab custom rear sub-frame. <\/p>\n
