Hyundai is planning a performance sub-brand for some of its models, much the way Volkswagen has its GTI and Ford the ST, in a way to make the brand more appealing to younger buyers and build on the company’s performance capabilities.
At the Frankfurt Motor Show Tuesday, Hyundai showcased an “N 2025 Vision Gran Turismo” concept car that looks less like a video-game car than a track-ready LMP1 Le Mans or Daytona racer.
Designed for Sony’s Playstation, the 2025 GT is spec’d to have 871 horsepower. Let’s hope the Elantra some day comes with just 30 per cent of that power.
