2018 Hyundai i30 N: Hyundai's First High-Performance N Model

The 2018 Hyundai i30 N has a lot of speculation about what it might look like, and now we have a little bit of an idea, thanks to some spy photos released.  The new upcoming 2018 Hyundai i30 was seen out being tested, and spy shots caught that the N model is still very much under heavy camouflage. It is said that the shape of the car is still the same, as well as the lighting set-up in the front and back.

It seems like a big leap for the Koreans, but it's worth nothing to them, so they secured the services of the former head of BMW's M Division, and that is Engineer Albert Biermann. The N letter was chosen to represent the Nmayang R&D Center near Seoul, where the development of the Hyundai i20 took place.

The 2018 Hyundai i30 N is faster and more powerful compared to the standard model. According to some leaked information, the new 2018 Hyundai i30 comes in larger brakes with a red caliper and says that the vehicle needs a little stopping power, and hinted to be cracking out between 240-260-hp.

The car's power output was compared or as good as the Ford Focus ST and Golf GTI. The based version uses a turbocharged2.0-liter four-cylinder with 250 horsepower or 186kW.  A higher performance trim would make 275hp or 250kW and comes with an electronically controlled limited-slip differential.

The 2018 Hyundai i30 N is said to be seen upgrading its steering and suspension set-ups, high-performance tires, and twin-exist exhaust. The N model also comes with an aggressive body kit and other sports goodies.

There are still a lot of interesting features to look forward to from this 2018 Hyundai i30 N model. It is set to be officially unveiled at the Frankfurt Motor Show in September of 2017 and see if this hot hatch can take the market by storm.
