'Elegant Equus' Headed to SEMA With VIP-Style, 450-HP Turbocharged V8

For several weeks now Hyundai has been rolling out its lineup of SEMA Show cars, from the wild ARK Genesis Coupe R-Spec to the supercar-inspired Sonata Turbo. Several Equus luxury sedans are also set to make an appearance, including one from Rhys Millen Racing and DUB. Now you can add one more to that list with the latest custom Equus coming from Mummbles Marketing, sporting a VIP-themed look and a 450-hp turbocharged V8.

Mummbles Marketing is no stranger to building one-off SEMA Show cars, and this one looks like one of their best. The “Elegant Equus” gets a 717 Motoring five-piece bodykit coated in a deep burgundy paint, while there’s also a carbon fiber hood, trunk and a carbon fiber overlay for the roof. A massive set of 22-inch Work Equip E10 wheels fit up inside the fenders thanks to an Air Lift suspension system.

Along with some Junction Produce VIP goodies inside, the Elegant Equus will get plenty of black suede, lots of audio equipment (including four subwoofers) and two iPads – which can be used to control the airlift suspension, moving curtains, stereo and windows.

AutoGuide’s 2010 SEMA Show coverage starts Tuesday, November 2nd. Until then, see our complete SEMA Preview here.
