Hyundai has taken the wraps off an extra special, high performance version of the i30 N sedan — the i30 Sedan N TCR Edition.
Derived from the Touring Car Racing (TCR) World Tour for production-based vehicles, the TCR Edition represents the wealth of experience Hyundai Motor has gained since joining the TCR World Tour in 2017.
Inspired by its multiple race and championship victories, many parts have been upgraded and newly developed.
The i30 Sedan N TCR Edition features a lightweight Carbon Swan Neck Spoiler, which adjusts to provide optimal downforce for various driving conditions and preferences.
The high-performance sedan also boasts highly rigid, lightweight 19-inch N TCR forged wheels and is equipped with N Performance four-piston brakes as standard.
Hyundai N’s Motorsport-based DNA is further reinforced with special interior and exterior parts, including a race-inspired Alcantara steering wheel with a Performance Blue top marker, Performance Blue seat belts and exclusive TCR Edition badging, along with TCR Edition decals (but only in South Korea).
“Hyundai Motor has incorporated the experience and expertise accumulated in motorsports into i30 Sedan N TCR Edition,” N’s Joon Park said.
“We will continue to enhance the DNA of Hyundai N, so that N-thusiasts can experience the thrill of motorsports in their daily lives.”
Hyundai Motor plans to launch i30 Sedan N TCR Edition in South Korea in December and in other markets next year.
Badged overseas as Elantra N TCR Edition and Avante N TCR Edition, Hyundai says the high-performance sedan embodies the DNA of Hyundai Motorsports, designed to boost ‘N-thusiasm’ for those who love driving.
