Hyundai's i30 N is built for serious driving fun

The i30 N, revealed to the public at the Frankfurt Motor Show in Germany, is Hyundai Motor's first high-performance car under the N lineup. Built on the New Generation i30, the i30 N has been developed from the ground up to deliver maximum driving pleasure in everyday life on the road, as well as on the track.“The Hyundai i30 N has been developed for no other purpose than to deliver maximum driving fun to our customers in an accessible high-performance package,” says Albert Biermann, executive vice president, Performance Development and High-Performance Vehicle Division.“With the high-performance N models we will enhance our brand's appeal with emotional products that cater to the needs of people who love to have a smile on their face when they drive their car on a winding road and listen to the sound of the engine. That's why we measure high performance in BPM, heart beats per minute, instead of only RPM.”Emotive AppealDue to be launched across Europe by the end of 2017, the all-new i30 N is made for people to experience a contented grin when driving a performance car. Part of the i30 range, the i30 N sports a unique character and coherent, timeless design – including the cascading grille at the front, the new Hyundai signature, which is characterised by a downward tapering gesture inspired by the flow of molten steel.The feeling is enhanced by the car's emotional sound from the dual muffler exhaust featuring the variable exhaust valve system. The cockpit of the i30 N shows key performance parameters through the unique instrument cluster and the 8-inch free-floating screen's modes such as the G-Force meter for live tracking of the performance.The design is based on true high-performance vehicles and apart from Hyundai's cascading grille at the front, there's aggressive-looking front and rear bumpers, and a new rear spoiler. According to the principle “form follows function”, the car design enhances aerodynamic and cooling performance. Its operation focuses on the pure connection between the car and the driver. The i30 N is built around the driver for maximum responsiveness, balanced performance and fun to drive.Corner rascalThe i30 N loves corners and features front-wheel drive with a six-speed manual transmission. The i30 N's maximum grip is guaranteed by the 18-inch Michelin or 19-inch Pirelli high-performance Hyundai N tyres. The rack-mounted motor-driven power steering is very direct and offers high precision. The lowered body is rigid and in combination with the Electronic Controlled Suspension (ECS) reduces roll and enhances cornering speed, enabling the driver to adjust the dampers from comfort-oriented daily commuting to high-performance track driving.Powerful Performance PackageThe i30 N is powered by a 2.0 litre turbocharged engine available with two power outputs: the Standard Package engine delivers 184 kW, whereas the Performance Package engine's maximum power is boosted to 202 kW. Both outputs deliver a maximum torque of 353 Nm and reach a maximum speed of 250 km/h with 0 - 100 km/h times of 6,4 seconds and 6,1 seconds respectively. - Quickpic
