Manual gearbox with six gears!

The new Hyundai i20 N has been revealed, with the new-faced hot hatch that boasts 150 kW of its 1.6-liter turbocharged gasoline heart.

Billed as a “racetrack-capable hot hatch inspired by the i20 WRC rally car,” the new model will take on the Volkswagen Polo GTI and Ford Fiesta ST.

The turbocharged GDi engine is mated to a six-speed manual gearbox as standard, offering a maximum power of 150 kilowatts 5500 to 6000 r / min and a maximum torque of 275 Nm between 1 750 and 4 500 r / min. Tipping the scales at a claimed 1,190 kg, the Korean firm says the i20 N will complete the sprint from 0 to 100 km / h in 6.7 seconds before finishing in 230 kilometers per hour.

Hyundai says the manual gearbox has been “refined and beefed up” especially for the i20 N, and has also gained a rev-tuning function. In addition, the hot hatch can be equipped with a mechanical limited-slip differential. Under the so-called “N Grin Control System”, the hatch features five driving modes plus launch control.

Other “motorsport-inspired” features include an electric sound generator, variable exhaust control, a brake pad wear indicator, and ultra-high-performance 215/40 R18 Pirelli P-Zero tires.

With a suspension about 10mm lower than the standard hatch and a trellis suspension, the i20 N has a wide grille, a “WRC-inspired” roof spoiler, a single exhaust pipe and red exterior accents. Six exterior colors and an optional black roof will be available.

Inside, you’ll find model-specific sports seats (each with an integrated headrest) at the front, an N steering wheel, N shift knob, and N pedals. The black interior features Performance Blue accents throughout plus a roof. black.
