DRIVERS WILL EXPERIENCE THE
THRILLS OF MOTORSPORT
WITH OUR PERFORMANCE-
ORIENTED ‘N’ MODELS
BUILT WITH LATEST TECHNOLOGY.
BEYOND THE DREAM
HIGH-PERFORMANCE
‘N’
Hyundai Motor’s high-performance ‘N’ models are built using
technologies and experience gained through its participation
in WRC. The logo ‘N’ stands for Hyundai Motor’s Namyang
Technology Research Center. Nürburgring is the world’s
most challenging race track in Germany, used to hone N’s
high-performance technologies. The track plays a crucial
role in developing, testing and perfecting the performance
characteristics that will be applied to future ‘N’ products.
Hyundai Motor launched the high-performance brand ‘N’ at
the 2015 Frankfurt Motor Show in Germany, the birthplace
of high-performance automobiles. So far, Hyundai Motor has
concentrated on improving design, ride quality, performance and
customer service. The ‘N’ will help drivers experience the thrills
and emotions of motorsport for themselves, in performance-
oriented and race-track-capable cars.
New Generation Hyundai i20 WRC
Hyundai i20 WRC first debuted at the 2012
Paris Motor Show and has since been a car
for the Hyundai WRC Team. After continued
enhancements and evolutions, the New
Generation Hyundai i20 WRC was born
at the Hyundai Motorsport HQ in Alzenau.
The New Generation Hyundai i20 WRC is
powered by a 1,600 cc turbo charged engine
with maximum power of 300 horsepower.
It also has a 4WD drive and a special
suspension system built for auto racing and for
optimal performance on rally courses.
Results : Hyundai WRC Team
Motorsports provide automobile manufacturers with
opportunities to push technologies from powertrains to chassis.
Unlike F1 racing cars, WRC rally cars are built on a mass
production car with an annual production volume higher than
25,000 units. Hyundai Motor created the Hyundai i20 WRC
using the i20 compact car as the basis in 2014. The Hyundai
i20 WRC was the first racing car for the Hyundai WRC Team
which returned to the WRC arena after a long absence and
has since achieved many victories. In 2015, the Hyundai WRC
Team placed 3rd or higher in 9 out of 13 races. Hyundai Motor
ranked 3rd in the overall manufacturer’s standing in 2015. In
2016, Hyundai Motor introduced the New Generation Hyundai
i20 WRC which helped the Hyundai WRC Team rank 1st in the
manufacturer’s standing. In the 4th race at Rally Argentina,
Hyundai WRC Team drivers and manufacturers both placed 1st.
