Special Report: 2022 Hyundai Australia's N Festival Is The Ultimate Owner Track Day | Carscoops carscoops
are bred on the racetrack and it’s perhaps their resilience to relentless abuse that has allowed Hyundai to host this event with such confidence. Indeed, the press cars were on continual rotation for more than eight hours straight, being used and abused by media members, and other than a couple showing some slight brake fade and burning through their tires, all performed flawlessly.Having just driven the Kona N from Melbourne, I elected to take it out onto the track for the first session.
For as impressive as the Kona N and i30 Sedan N were to drive around The Bend, it was the i20 N that was our highlight.embarking on a 2,000 km road trip Fitted with a 1.6-liter turbocharged four-cylinder, the i20 N delivers 201 hp between 5,500 rpm and 6,000 rpm and 202 lb-ft of torque between 1,750 rpm and 4,500 rpm. These figures may make it seem underpowered compared to its N siblings but we were able to hustle it through to 192 km/h on the straight and achieve lap times just 1.5 seconds behind the i30 Sedan N. However, it wasn’t the pace of the i20 N that impressed us the most but rather how enjoyable it was to drive.
The mastermind behind the Hyundai N brand, Albert Biermann, attended the track day and both he and a handful of Hyundai race drivers sampled the RN22e throughout the day. The automaker has such faith in its owners that the RN22e was driven around the track at the same time that N owners were hustling their own cars through the bends. Name another automaker that will test a priceless development prototype quite like this.
