The all-new i20 N Rally2 is Hyundai’s latest motorsport offering for private teams and drivers, replacing the old i20 R5 which has been in circulation since 2015. The i20 N Rally2 is based on the all-new road-going i20 N’s chassis, building on the sporty look of the road car, which itself boasts several elements inspired by the world of motorsport. The 2021 Hyundai i20 N was also recently unveiled.
While it shares the old i20 R5’s
five-speed sequential gearbox, the i20 N Rally2 boasts a brand new 1.6-liter
turbocharged engine, plus new suspension components and dampers which give it
“more driver-friendly handling characteristics on all surfaces,” claims the
Korean carmaker.
These types of driving dynamics are very
important in the Rally2 category, which is the basis for multiple national and
regional championships, as well as the international WRC 2 and WRC 3 classes.
Hyundai will kick off an extensive testing
program for the new i20 N Rally2 later this month, with first deliveries to
customers and final homologation taking place next summer.
