It appears Rhys Millen is taking his relationship with Korean car manufacturer, Hyundai, to the next level. Rumor has it, Millen will pilot a 500hp Hyundai in two rounds of the 2010 U.S. Rallycross championship. The car, a WRC prepped, 2,805 lb, turbocharged four-cylinder, will feature a six-speed sequential gearbox, Xtrac four-wheel drive, large Brembo brakes and a Proflex coilover suspension. The races will take place at New Jersey Motorsports Park on October 2-3 and November 6-7.
