Neuville tests the Hyundai i20 N in Sweden

Hyundai recently carried out snow tests in Arjeplog in Sweden with different sports frames. The Korean manufacturer called on its pilot WRC Thierry Neuville to test the cars, with the i20 WRC, the RM19 and the i20 N grand tourer in a prototype version which was camouflaged.

“It’s a very interesting vehicle., commented the Belgian about the i20 N. It is both very precise and very easy to handle. The electronic system allows the pilot to constantly maintain control. The engine offers good revs and its sound is also very interesting. I can't wait to be able to drive it in the WRC. »

The RM19 is a new racing car from Hyundai with a 2.0l turbo engine developing 390hp and 475Nm of torque on the rear axle.

“The RM19 is a very impressive car, added the star Hyundai driver. I was able to drive it for the first time on the Nordschleife Nürburgring (Germany). I was immediately at ease behind the wheel. You can play around with the settings, whether in terms of ABS, power or turbo control. It is very simple to fly. I had a lot of fun on the snow with it. »
