Hyundai announce "N" performance division, nabs EX Head BMW M division engineer in the process.

Hyundai to no longer offer non-electric N models in Europe, after the i30, i20, and Kona N models have all been recently discontinued there. It is unknown whether this move will eventually hit other markets, especially as the Elantra N has just been facelifted.

 
N Vision 74 officially confirmed for production


After years of speculation and rumors, Hyundai has finally confirmed plans to put its highly popular N Vision 74 concept into production. The announcement comes as part of Hyundai's plans to debut 21 new models by the year 2030.

Hyundai snuck the news into a slide at the company's annual CEO and Investor Day presentation, mentioning the N Vision 74 as one of its future "high-performance EVs."

There's no word on powertrain or performance specs for the production-bound N Vision 74, meaning it's anyone's guess as to whether Hyundai will keep the concept's 671-horsepower hydrogen fuel cell or adopt a fully electric drivetrain. Considering the lack of mass adoption for hydrogen power, we'd bet on the latter.

I am super impressed with the used 2020 Sonata SEL+ with the 1.6T from the Veloster N.

Never have I driven a more effortless-driving car. It rides and corners better than my buddy's 3-series.
That is insanely sexy. Put it into a video game right now.
Even as a VGT. I'll take it.

Don't want to make another correction here, but that 1.6T is different from the Veloster too. 😅

The Sonata has the 1.6T Smartstream (G4FP) which is essentially different in every way from the Veloster 1.6T other than displacement and power levels. Veloster still used a variation of the G4FJ. It shared this specific variation with the 2020-2024 Forte GT. 😎
