I mean i already see 3 FMVSS violations so I doubt it will end up in production that way.

This is 100% a race car. It has a tow hook and plastic rear quarter windows. It’s also on slicks. Automakers don’t test cars on slicks, even on the ‘Ring.

Edit: It’s apparently a race car that is also going to be the debut of the N performance brand. http://www.evo.co.uk/hyundai/i30/17…

My guess is that the internals will be very similar to the road car, though.

Probably the TCR entry of Hyundai. The fenders look similarly agressive to those of the Seat Leon TCR.

And its got 2 doors!!! I do not understand why the Fiesta ST has to have 4 doors in the US, totally ruins the car to me.

And a small, slender rear wing?

YO BRUH! MAH BRO. BROMIDE CENTRAL! BROSEF STALIN IN BRUH-SSIA! MAH CAR GOT MORE DOORS SO I CAN PICK UP YO SISTER AFTER STEALIN YO GIIIIIRRRRRRRLLLLLLLL.....

Actually the 4 doors make it really easy to load up the back. And for real, it’s ridiculously easy to get women into and out of the back with an actual door. Full sized men? Less so.

Well yeah it makes it easier to access the back seats but I feel like it makes the difference between the Focus and the Fiesta not really all that apparent then. It seems like to me that the focus can be for those that need 4 doors and a usable back seat while the Fiesta can be for the occasional but rare use of the back seat, mainly just for transporting stuff that could be accessed via the hatch instead.
