Hyundai RM16

[fuxhound 793]

Hyundai, it would seem, are pretty damn serious about their new ‘N’ performance brand. At first I thought their hottest new ‘N’ car might just be a 250hp i20. A contender for the Golf Mk6 Edition 30 of 2010.

But then I just saw this…

 

 

 

OhmygoodnesstheyactuallyBUILTIT. What did they build? The RM16 concept car from the Busan Autoshow. The mid-engined, rear-wheel-drive hatchback that the world dismissed as ‘impossible’. I mean, that’s the kind of car you associate with the perfectly crazy guys at Renaultsport (who made the Clio V6) or Williams (who made the MG Metro 6R4). I thought, “Yeah, right, it’ll be front engined and front wheel drive before it ever hits a showroom…”

How wrong was I? How HAPPY am I that I was wrong? Very. Check out those big fat Brembos too:

Yes, this is one serious little beasty. It sounds fruity (video soon, I promise) and VERY boosty. Like, I can hear the whoosh of the turbo loading as it approaches, then the fat “bwaaaaarp” of the exhaust after it passes.

So there you have it. A Hyundai I actually want. Not bad, Korean dudes. Not bad.

kan de moeite worden, afhankelijk van de specs, de prijs en de reviews. Misschien homologatie model om met een middenmotor in rallye te gaan?
