2018 Hyundai Elantra Sport

Meet Cherry, a 2018 Hyundai Elantra Sport 1.6T that has come a long way from its stock beginnings. Owned and built by the founder of KDMUSA and a member of Korean Car Collective, Cherry has become a recognizable build within the KDM community, combining aggressive styling, attention to detail, and performance upgrades. Wrapped in a stunning Lava Metallic Orange by Raxtify Vinyl, Cherry features a carbon fiber vented hood and carbon fiber trunk from Uniq Performance, along with carbon fiber fenders and Street Aero components that give the car an aggressive yet clean appearance. Sitting on ESR AP6 Hyper Brushed Silver 18x8.5 +35 wheels, Cherry runs Yellow Speed Racing air suspension, allowing for a sleek, aired-out stance while maintaining the ability to enjoy the car on the streets. Every detail of the fitment has been carefully considered to complement the overall look of the build. Under the hood, Cherry’s 1.6L turbocharged engine features an upgraded first-generation Veloster turbo, SXTH Element cold air intake, and a catless downpipe from Uniq Performance. With tuning development through RVE, the build continues to explore the potential of Hyundai’s 1.6T platform. What makes Cherry special isn’t just the modifications, but the passion and dedication behind the build. From attending shows to representing the KDM community, Cherry has become more than just another modified Elantra Sport. It’s a reflection of individuality, creativity, and the drive to bring something different to the scene. With more modifications planned, Cherry is far from finished, and the best is still yet to come.
