Presented with pomp and circumstance three weeks ago, the new Hyundai i30 N started its career with the launch of a special edition in Germany. As a special edition, the i30 N First Edition was limited to 100 units. I say “was” because it only took two days for all 100 units to find an owner.
The 100 people had to make a deposit of €1000 through PayPal and as they were the first 100, they are also entitled to extra gifts . These include a training session on the Nürburgring circuit , where the brand's technical center is also located, a workshop on the i30 N and a meeting with its head of development Albert Biermann. It promises to be a day well spent.
This event will take place in October, an occasion that will be used by Hyundai to deliver these 100 units first hand to their respective owners.
Albert Biermann, Executive Vice President of Performance Development and High Performance Vehicles Division, HyundaiThe high interest in the First Edition confirms our confidence in the i30 N. Our first high-performance model in the N-line was developed from the ground up to deliver pure driving pleasure in an affordable high-performance package for both the road and the circuit. Enriches Hyundai with emotional appeal. People will drive this high-performance car with a satisfied smile
The Hyundai i30 N First Edition comes with all the options that the i30 N is entitled to, namely the integration of the Performance Pack. They are 275 hp – access version has 250 hp -, improved braking system, 19-inch wheels with Pirelli P Zero tyres, sport exhaust system with variable valve, electronic tip-heel and electronically controlled self-locking differential.
The new Korean hot hatch, with strong German flavor, comes equipped with a six-speed manual gearbox and can accelerate from 0 to 100 km/h in 6.1 seconds. Its arrival at the markets will take place in the autumn.
