Well I was down finding out the new Azera won’t be coming to the US and that we won’t be getting the i30 N either. BUT Hyundai seems to be testing the RM16 N Concept which was that mid-engined Veloster they have been playing around with for years now. Hmmm...

If it’s wrapped in camo like that it must be real, right? Hyundai engineers have gotten to build some cool stuff recently.

Where did you hear we weren’t getting the i30N? Was not aware of that.

I know, sad day since I really don’t think they are turning the Elantra into a WRX or Civic Type-R competitor. Can you imagine the Elantra taking over the Evo’s mantle? Me neither, which makes me wonder what the plan is.

It’s the concept car Hyundai showed off back in June of this year, which is why this is freaking weird!

I want it to be real, I really really want it to be real, please let it be real. It would be hilarious if a mid-engined Veloster happened before the mid-engined Vette!

Oh my god. They have finally let the designers use their full capacity! It’s incredibly good looking.

Huh, didn’t see that article. My pops actually works for Hyundai, I’ll have to run that by him and see why they aren’t.

I read an article somewhere after the first i30N spy shots came out and they were talking as if it was a FoST and GTI fighter. Supposedly if they got enough interest they might try an AWD version ala FoRS and STI. Which could be as simple as making a street version of their rally car.

Overall, interested to see where they are in a couple years.

I mean, the Genesis V6 has been a tuner’s paradise, why can’t it be shoved in the middle and the OEM goes nuts on it

You’d think mid engined hatches would look really funky but I’ll be damned if that’s not the best looking new car design I’ve seen in a long time

Not even close. The canopy over the engine is lazy. They should chop it a d give it a true 2 seater design.
