Hyundai Motor has showcased its high-performance sub-brand N at the 2015 Frankfurt International Motor Show. Built on the foundation of the company's intensive product development and motorsport experiences, Hyundai N ultimately aims to develop future performance-oriented models.

Featuring optimised weight distribution, greater powertrain efficiency and enhanced aerodynamics, the i20 WRC Rally Car demonstrates Hyundai's ability to enhance its high-performance DNA, and will continue to compete in motorsports as Hyundai N builds towards producing a full road-going lineup of cars.

The mid-engined RM15 (Racing Midship 2015) concept is an aggressively-styled high-performance coupe, featuring an aluminum spaceframe as its core structure, covered by light, stiff body panels formed in Carbon Fibre Reinforced Plastic (CFRP). Power comes from Hyundai's Theta 2.0-litre T-GDI engine, tuned to deliver 300bhp through a six-speed manual transmission.

Finally, Hyundai also introduces the ultimate concept car to show the global audience the brand's unique perspective on future performance characteristics. The 'Hyundai N 2025 Vision Gran Turismo' concept, inspired by N, will be coming exclusively to PlayStation's Gran Turismo video game series. The powertrain is based on the world's first mass-produced hydrogen fuel cell system. The total system output is 871bhp, delivered through four high-powered independent in-wheel motors, which provide uncompromised traction.

The compact, lightweight fuel cell stacks and rigid CFRP monocoque structure help to keep weight down to 972 kg, giving it a power-to-weight ratio that rivals the most exotic supercars in the world. Combined with a low centre of gravity, this power and performance sets the car up to perform on the most challenging of race tracks, encapsulating the thrilling premise of N cars.

Through Hyundai N 2025 Vision Gran Turismo’s sustainable technology and innovative race car design, Hyundai is presenting N's future potential to a wider global online community.
