Alexander Del Vecchio was immediately drawn in by the 2016 Hyundai Veloster Rally Edition's limited matte blue paint. When he sat in the driver's seat and took it for a test drive, he immediately saw potential in the platform. Since taking ownership, he's been modifying the Veloster inside and out to make it his own.
