10 Oct 2018|1,240 views
The professional Hyundai Motorsport drivers Thierry Neuville and Gabriele Tarquini set a world record with the first five-door hot coupe in the segment. Driven by the company's aspiration to always think beyond the conventional, Hyundai gave the story an unexpected twist.
Neuville and Tarquini pushed the car to its limits, not by driving from the Italian to the French capital, but by competing against each other on the winding roads between Rome and Paris, located in western Denmark.
Sitting behind the i30 Fastback N's steering wheel, it took Tarquini only 8:18.49 minutes to cover the distance between the Danish villages with these famous names, winning the race by a fraction of a second.
Neuville, who is currently leading the WRC drivers championship, and motorsport legend Tarquini, with more than 25 years of racing experience, were the perfect team to fight a duel on this closed road.
The all new i30 Fastback N is Hyundai's second high-performance model in Europe. It follows the i30 N five-door hatchback, which has created an unprecedented success story since its market launch, exceeding initial sales expectations.
Almost 3,000 i30 N five-door hatchback units were sold in the first half of 2018 in Europe. 100 units of its First Edition sold out in Germany in just 48 hours.
