It was to keep Hyundai. Now that he has started, it seems that he has set his sights on making the whole world talking. After the awesome and awesome i30N and the Veloster N, the Koreans are preparing the next steps them, which will be a "hot" small and two powerful SUVs, while in "Game" continues to remains the idea for the the production of a centre-engine, rear-wheel-drive, lightweight (aluminium-carbon fibre) hot hatch, performance about 350 horsepower.
Ο Chief of N Division, Albert Biermann, had said, two years ago, that they were developing four-wheel drive models by serial boxes gears. Now, among other things, we're learning that they're developing a new four-cylinder engine, performance as and 350 horsepower (!!!!) that will can be used in "FWD, RWD and Mid Drive"! Which means that the performance centrifugal, rear-wheel drive hatch, which Hyundai teases us about, is closer than we think...

The information is conflicting as to the which of the models planned, will occur first. With the engineers of the N Division to work on the i20 N, Tucson N, Kona and, possibly and G70 N, the first two Get Priority. The Koreans would like to present a powerful SUVbut as it turns out will be delayed and the first that will come, most likely will be a i20N.
Rendering of the i20N
The Auto Express states that the next model N that will come will use as based on the i20 and will come to end of 2019. The information so far reported that she will wear turbo engine, 200 hp output, Reversed and current intelligence suggests the existence only one version -which is in the final stages of development- with power of approximately 250 horsepower. I wonder, can we see him wearing the two-litre i30N;
The Hyundai i20N will have many references to the WRC, as the Korean brand races there with this model
One thing is for sure. front-wheel drive model which is expected to have many references to WRC and the participation of Hyundai there with the i20, while wearing electronically controlled differential on better grip. The aim is to be fastest in all sectors from the Ford Fiesta ST, but also the Renault Clio R.S. (1.6 to 217 hp). The autoevolution relies on other information that the model is ready in 2020.
Hyundai Tucson N
The first of the SUVs that will arise, is the Tucson N and will be followed by the Kona N. The Hyundai SUV, made debut last year, with 164 hp two-cylinder four-cylinder and 204 Nm torque and Top a -also- 2.4-litre four-cylinder engine with 181 hp and 237 Nm torque. Η N edition was already going to debut, but according to reports, the Hyundai engineers face Problem with the little space in the engine room as the purpose is to Performance to exceed the 340 horsepower.
The Hyundai Tucson
Η solution to be worn in the Tucson is the 3.3 litre twin-turbo V6, performance 365 horsepowerwhich we saw in Genesis G70, abandoned for for spatial reasons. So, it has been tested to wear the two-litre turbocharged Veloster N (performance 275 horsepower and 353 Nm torque). What the Koreans want to see, however, is whether the Specifically engine an additional 65 hp, with sufficient reliability. The engineers involved in the development of the project say that may be late with the Tucson N "because when he shows up he'll wipe out everyone else in his class", describing their ongoing model as "brand changer" and "halo car". Although the leaked information is scarce, we know that he will make the sprint from a standstill at 100 km/h. in "less than 6 seconds“.
To Hyundai Kona N
The Tucson N, in addition to the most aggressive bodykit, will feature extensive modifications - apart from the engine - to the brakes, with several larger, but also different, sportier suspension. In any case, the Box will remain the same, as Hyundai insists that the high-quality steel that it uses in its models, gives top torsional rigidity.
The Hyundai RM16
The same sources report that in most luxurious place of Hyundai, the Genesis, expect a more high-performance version of the G70 (the current top of the range is the 3.3 V6 with 365 hp). The boss of the N, Albert Biermann, has said "not" in a version of the G70 N. Of course, we recall that he had also said "no" to the i30 Fastback Nuntil he saw a version prepared by the Koreans and enthusiastic.
On the other hand, a Evolution that will be able to solve all our questions (and generate new ones), is the News story that the Hyundai develops a new motor, the 2.5 litre direct injection Theta III, which will be used in several versions, with various equestrian forces. The information so far indicates that the engine, which will be ready in second half of 2019, will be used in centrifugal model which will be debuted by Hyundai and will set against the Porsche 718 Cayman, Alpine A110 and Alfa Romeo 4C (more on this soon on TopSpeed.gr). centrifugal Hyundai has several times been photographed trying on heavy camouflage in the Nurburgring.

At next two years expected to see and electric performance models from Hyundai. Already, the ioniq N, with more efficient electric motor and more will follow. One thing is for sure. we still have a lot to see from the Hyundai, which came to stay in the minds of petrolheads...
