It’s unusual for a brand to promote its own vehicle covered in heavy camo, that’s usually done by spy photographers. Hyundai has done something unexpected and shown off their i30 N in a video heavily disguised.<\/p>\n
Skating around the ice with WRC driver Thierry Neuville\u00a0behind the wheel, the i30 N is the third variant to join the i30 family alongside a wagon and hatchback style.<\/p>\n
Scheduled to launch in late 2017, the hot hatch is powered by a 2-litre turbocharged petrol motor which is said to produce 246 and 271 horsepower as Hyundai plan to launch two versions of the i30 N.<\/p>\n
Driving the front wheels is a six-speed manual gearbox as standard with the potential of an optional dual-clutch box available at some point.<\/p>\n
Expected to sport an aggressive exterior, the i30 N receives\u00a0larger rims, unique bumpers, rear spoiler and rear diffuser. There is also a limited-slip differential that gets a thumbs up from the WRC driver, and the suspension receives a set of adjustable dampers.<\/p>\n
Destined to be the first of Hyundai’s N division models to break the ice, we can expect more from the South Korean brand as hot hatches are serious selling points around\u00a0the globe particularly in Europe.<\/p>\n
Hyundai has yet to reveal a price for the\u00a0performance enhanced\u00a0model. This is also good news for the recently discovered Volkswagen Golf R performance package<\/a>.<\/p>\n With the i30 N launch date still a few\u00a0months away, we’ve got new Hyundai<\/a> and used Hyundai for sale in Dubai<\/a>, Sharjah<\/a>, Abu Dhabi<\/a> and Ajman<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\t\t
