Hyundai promised us a new division performance, and here it is finally! With its new i30, the Korean manufacturer put on the table a whole new range of products focused on the power and driving pleasure.

Like AMG for Mercedes or the M division at BMW, Hyundai identified with the letter N will offer variants of boosted vehicles already existing.

In the case of the i30, (called Elantra GT in Canada), the version N will propose a mechanical turbocharged four-cylinder, 2.0-litre 250 horsepower and a torque of 260 pounds-foot. A delivery even further would even achieve 275 horsepower!

No doubt, we want to go play in the flat-band models such as the Volkswagen Golf GTI and Ford Focus ST.

In addition to a mechanical on steroids, the i30 N stands out by bumper-distinctive wheels, the diameter of which can reach 19 inch as well as an electronic limited-slip differential.

Of course, the letter “N” is visually displayed proudly on the front grille, making reference to the famous circuit of Nürburgring, where all the cars in this new division will be tested.

Capable of reaching 100 km/h in just over 6 seconds, the i30 N uses a manual transmission to six reports as well as a cog to front wheel drive.
