Rhys Millen Racing will be entering a new season of the Global RallyCross Championship with a new partner in tow. Oh, and they're also bringing along the Hyundai Veloster with them to build on last year's fourth place finish.

RMR is building on a new partnership with Disney for the 2012 Global RallyCross Championship and they're set to compete this season with a unique Veloster Rally Car that comes with a specially wrapped livery featuring Disney's new racing-themed TV series, Motorcity.

Just in case you don't know, Disney scored huge on the Cars franchise and they're branching out with a spin-off TV series. So what better way to promote a racing themed TV series than to have it promoted on an actual race car. That's exactly what RMR and Disney were looking for when they tied up to plaster the Veloster rally car with the Motorcity livery.

As far as the car itself is concerned, the number 12 Veloster will be powered by a 1.6-liter four-cylinder engine that delivers an impressive 500 horsepower and is mated to an Xtrac six-speed sequential transmission. In addition, the car will also carry a new custom suspension and a new set of 18" HRE wheels wrapped in 245/40-18 Hankook Racing tires. Stopping power comes from 14" Alcon brake rotors and six piston Alcon calipers.

The Motorcity-wrapped RMR Veloster Rally Car will be driven by Stephan Verdier, who is personally looking to improve on last year's fourth place finish. Despite having one of the coolest cars on the grid, Verdier will have his hands full this season competing against some pretty staunch rally heavyweights, including Tanner Foust, Ken Block, and Travis Pastrana.

At the very least, though, he's going to have an entire demographic of kids rooting him on.
