THE Hyundai i30 N Fastback is the latest member of Division N, the third act of Albert Biermann — and we've already tested it, watch the video…
Naturally, it shares all its mechanics with the i30 N “hatchback” — 2.0 l, turbo, 250 or 275 hp, 353 Nm, six-speed manual gearbox — but there are differences compared to the “hatch”.
These come mainly from the new bodywork. The i30 N Fastback is 120mm longer and 21mm shorter, and the slimmer rear contributes to a lower drag value — the Cx is 0.297 against 0.32 for the hatchback.
Hyundai has one of its main test centers on the Nürburgring circuit, which, in addition to defining various parameters of its dynamics, also serves to test the durability of all components — if it can withstand hundreds of laps of “green hell ”, will certainly be ready for any other challenge.

Moving from theory to practice
At the presentation of the Hyundai i30 N Fastback we had the opportunity to drive it… and to pilot it. Diogo had the opportunity to extract all the performance of the i30 N Fastback at the Circuito de Maspalomas, in Gran Canaria, Spain, over several laps and captured all the action to put you behind the wheel too — ok, almost…
It's another 360º video of Reason Automóvel to put you, as much as possible, as close to the action.
