Hyundai has introduced its electrified RM20e Racing Midship Sports Car to the world at the Beijing International Automotive Exhibition 2020.

The RM nomenclature refers to the N prototype model's 'Racing Midship' rear-drive, midship powertrain configuration, a fundamental design differentiator that yields ideal handling balance and agility from a low polar-moment of inertia.

The RM20e Racing Midship Sports Car features an explosively powerful 799bhp electric motor with 960Nm of torque, enough to yield superb blasts from zero to 100km/h in less than three seconds and zero to 200km/h sprints in 9.88 seconds.

Hyundai states that this RM platform will serve as an engineering 'rolling lab' for testing high performance technologies with outstanding connection to the tarmac at all speeds and driving conditions.
