The Veloster Alpine is not as racy as Hyundai's own 400Hp Veloster "Velocity" project, with ARK Performance stating that the car was designed to appeal to mountain sports enthusiasts - though, we won't blame you if you don't see this from the teaser image...

It was to be expected that Hyundai's main commercial for the upcoming Super Bowl XLVI would encompass its most recent creation, the new 201-horsepower Veloster Turbo sports hatch that made its world premiere at the Detroit Motor Show earlier this month.
