History of the Hyundai N Series

In 2012, Hyundai Motorsport hit the European circuit and launched in Germany, re-entering into the World Rally Championship (WRC). Eventually, by 2013, Hyundai’s European Technical Center in the infamous Nürburgring race track is developing. Giving a place for their WRC Hyundai N models to test on one of the most difficult race tracks. (Hyundai N)

The “N” stands for not only Nürburgring, but also for Namyang, South Korea. This is where the heart of Hyundai’s Research and Development center is located. This is where the N series is designed.

For the next few years Hyundai’s i20 N WRC cars continued to place well in the World Rally Championship. After the creation of the Hyundai i30 N prototype, this model successfully completed Nürburgring’s 24-hour endurance race. A feat not many cars can complete.

After proven success, the first production car of the N series – the Hyundai i30 N – was born. You may recognize it here in the US as the Hyundai Elantra GT N!

Since then, the N series is developing to provide consumers with a high-performing vehicles. Ones that can perform well on your daily commute as well on the track. There are also N Line trim options on some models that add a sporty dynamic to the Hyundai you already love! The N series is still expanding and we are looking forward to what comes next from this series.
