About that name. It could be rooted in the word velox, Latin for swiftness or speed, as in velocity. (Think velocipede, velociraptor, Velocette, Veloster.)
If that’s the source, our first trip to the test track with a Hyundai Veloster suggests that the name was invented by someone drawing inspiration from the uninhibited sheet metal and certainly not acceleration numbers: Zero to 60 mph in 8.5 seconds isn’t swift, and a quarter mile in 16.7 at 84 mph isn’t speedy.
