With every hot hole fueled by gasoline that bites the bullet, the world becomes a sad place. Latest emission regulations largely to them Fun cars were killed in EuropeEliminate desired pocket missiles such as the I20 N and i30 N. Hyundai man responsible for section N is very disappointed, as we described the premature death of these models as a real “catastrophe”.
In an interview with Car magazineJohn Park admitted, “I20 and i30 n have a disaster for me.” The production of Hyundai N for Volkswagen Polo GTI and GOOF GTI ended in the European market in February. However, hot gates are still present in other regions such as Australia, where two cars are received for a slight plastic surgery last year.

Park admits that “not the person who really loves EV. I always loved the smell, sound and all kinds of racing cars.” In contrast, colleague Tirion Johnson, the administrative director of the technical center in Europe in Germany, sees things differently:
“I don’t understand the idea that performance cars are dying. If you want to go quickly, there is nothing better than EV. I don’t understand nostalgia.” He added that most of the gas cars were “miles away – disappointment” compared to 5 n and that “No one wants manual gearboxes anymore.”
An upcoming compromise: hybrid. John says it will be some time before the hot hatchbacks roams the streets, but it is implemented. The possibilities of seeing a 2.0 -liter gas engine under the charging under the hood is small, especially in Europe, due to “the current organization and the future organization”. The 1.6 -liter smaller unit at the heart of the hybrid transmission group has a better opportunity to comply with the tougher legislation.

It is not clear whether these electric performance cars will keep evidence like the old i20 N and i30 n, but we are skeptical. Another twisted Veloster n The production of the second generation model will also end without any alternative on the horizon.
Outside the world of hot hatching, A Elantra N (also known as Avante N in South Korea) with a The largest combustion engine has already been confirmedNot only for Europe, clearly. As for the transitions, there is no information on Hyundai’s work, either with a gas engine or as an entire electrical model.
While it seems to focus on hot EVS like Ioniq 5 N and New Ioniq 6 nJohn guarantees the traditions that “We (Hyundai N) does not limit ourselves to EVS.” The future may often belong to sports cars without combustion engines, but the ice will remain in some capabilities.
