As the upcoming Hyundai i30 N enters its final
development stages, the company released a short video of the test car sliding
around on icy surfaces by WRC driver Thierry Neuville.
Hyundai plans to launch the hot i30 sometime in the latter half of 2017, and is expected to be powered by a turbocharged 2.0-litre petrol engine which sounds pretty fruity in the video linked below and will reportedly be available with two power outputs, in 246 hp and 271 hp versions.
There is also going to be a limited-slip
differential while the suspension is getting a set of adjustable dampers. A
six-speed manual gearbox will be standard, with a dual-clutch unit possibly on
the options list.
Expect the upcoming i30 N to feature a more
aggressive body kit, with different bumpers, bigger wheels and a rear wing
paired with a rear diffuser for the obligatory aero agenda.
