This is not the first time Rockstar has built something special for Hyundai, but this Rockstar Santa Fe Concept looks even more aggressive than the past Hyundai/Rockstar concepts.
“Rockstar conveys its endless brand energy in everything we do,” said Nick Ashby, lead developer of the Rockstar concept vehicle. “Our Rockstar Santa Fe Concept is simultaneously all-show and all-go, a non-compromising concept with tremendous capabilities and a confident demeanor to match.

Hyundai is building some outstanding one-offs, concepts and, with vehicles like the Rockstar Santa Fe Concept, they like making them functional too. As a matter of fact, Andre, our team TFL Producer got a chance to see functional concepts like the Rockstar Santa Fe Concept run in the desert last year, just before the 2015 SEMA show.
