Hyundai Motors announces i30 N Drive-N Limited Edition

Hyundai has announced the i30 N Drive-N Limited Edition. It's an exclusive and unique version of the high-performance Hyundai i30 N hatchback. This special version of the i30 N delivers the same exciting performance but offers a distinctive exterior and interior design. 

The limited run of 800 units began production in the last week of April, with 75 vehicles destined for the UK if you're after one. 

The i30 N Drive-N Limited Edition was developed by taking feedback from Hyundai N fans, known as 'N-thusiasts'. After looking at what mods fans were doing to their own i30 N models, Hyundai took inspiration in order to develop the i30 N Drive-N Limited Edition. 

The exclusive edition is available in two body colours. Phantom Black Pearlescent and the new Serenity White Pearlescent.

The i30 N Drive-N Limited Edition is equipped with the i30 N’s 2.0 T-GDi engine, with peak power of 280bhp and 392 Nm torque, combined with Hyundai’s in-house developed eight-speed wet-type dual-clutch transmission.

It now comes with three N performance functions for an even sportier experience: N Power Shift, N Grin Shift and N Track Sense Shift. By using the N Grin Shift (NGS) button, the car will get a “boost” of an additional 10 PS for the amount of 20 seconds.

A brand new and unique design

The exterior and interior designs of the i30 N Drive-N Limited Edition have been carried over from the new i30 N to deliver the same fun-to-drive experience wrapped in a more exclusive package.

The exterior will feature 19-inch forged alloy wheels in a dark bronze matte finish; black Hyundai badges; special decals on the side, front and rear; and two dedicated Drive-N badges in dark bronze matte on the side fenders.

The badges on the i30 N Drive?N Limited Edition also display the GPS coordinates of the home of the N models, the Hyundai Motor Europe Test Center at Nurburgring in Germany. Hyundai’s high-performance cars are developed, tested and honed at the Nurburgring-Nordschleife since 2011.

The interior of each unit is outfitted with a unique numbered badge, depicting its position among the limited volume of 800 total units. Instead of leather, Alcantara with red stitching will cover the steering wheel, gear lever, armrest and handbrake.

All accents decorating the interior will be in red colour. This applies to the seat belts in the front and rear, the steering wheel N buttons and the inserts and stitching of the N Light Seats with its new pattern. The i30 N Drive-N Limited Edition also has exclusive floor mats with specific lettering.

No pricing has been revealed for the new Hyundai i30 N Drive-N Limited Edition but you can expect it to cost more than the standard DCT’s starting price of £36,070.
