Some technical specifications about the upcoming
Hyundai i30 N hot hatch have leaked online after a presentation in South Korea.
Perhaps the most intriguing titbit of information to
emerge is that the i30 N’s 2.0-liter turbocharged four-cylinder engine will be
available in 250 PS and 275 PS guises each mated to a
six-speed manual transmission with active rev-matching as standard. An
eight-speed dual-clutch ‘box will also be available.
Other important upgrades to the i30 N will include
the installation of adjustable dampers at all four corners, a dual-stage
stability control system and a mode dedicated for the track and a number of
different driving modes for the engine. They’ll also be a limited-slip
differential to ensure the front wheels maintain optimum traction while
cornering.
A number of interior components will also
differentiate the N model from lesser i30 variants. These will include a new
three-spoke steering wheel, modified seats, a new gear knob and bespoke gauge
cluster. They’ll also be modified front and rear bumpers, different wheel
designs to choose from and an aggressive rear diffuser.
The Hyundai i30 N is expected to hit the production
line in December.
