The 2019 North American International Auto Show takes place in Detroit this week and for the last time, it’s being held in January when it’s cold. The cold certainly shouldn’t bother too many people who are attending the event and have taken a walk by the Hyundai booth. This is where a pair of the hottest hatchbacks in existence happens to be located to give us an idea of just what the Hyundai team has in mind when they prepare to offer us the drive and the performance we want to enjoy on the roads and tracks from the N sub-brand.
The Hyundai for the Track
It’s easy to see that the Hyundai Veloster N TCR which is on display is a car that’s built to be part of the racing circuit. This car is heavily related to the Hyundai i30 N TCR race car and it will be the one to replace the i30 version in the markets where the i30 N isn’t sold. The power for this car comes from a 2.0-liter turbocharged engine but it’s been tuned up to 350 horsepower for the fun on the track. This new Veloster will be the one that will be part of the 2019 IMSA Pilot Challenge and 2019 Blancpain GT World Challenger in the US in the coming years.
This new Hyundai track car is going to be offered beginning in March. Whether you’re part of a race team or you happen to want to have an excellent track day toy to drive and experience when you head to the track, this new Veloster N TCR can be purchased for $155,000 from Bryan Herta Autosports in Indianapolis which is the only Hyundai Motorsport dealer in the US where you can find the Veloster N you want to drive.
The Street Hyundai Hot Hatch You can Drive
The new 2019 Hyundai Elantra GT N Line is the second model that’s found at the Hyundai booth during the Detroit Auto Show this week. This car is affordable and brings a six-speed manual transmission for some models and a seven-speed dual clutch automatic transmission for other models. This new Elantra GT N Line is poised to compete with the rest of the active hot hatch models offered on the market. This car is on sale right now and is a car that you can take out on the road and have a lot of fun.
Find the Right Heat for You from Hyundai
Whether you’re looking for the small and impressive car that can be fun to drive on the track or enjoy when you see an open stretch of road, the Hyundai team has the right choice for you. If your budget is small, the Elantra GT N Line is the one you’re going to turn to and experience the drive every day, but if you want to head out to the track for some fun, the Veloster N TCR will be the car that gives you the fun and the power you’re looking for. You can also find used SUVs at reasonable prices at your nearest dealer.
