    Hyundai’s N Division Hints At Possible Mid-Engine Sports Car

    It seems Hyundai really aims to be taken seriously with the advent of its performance division called N. Having introduced the marquee to the i30 and Veloster, Hyundai intends to switch it up a notch with a standalone N-branded mid-engined sports car.

    Part of Hyundai’s recently revealed impish side is the appointment of former BMW M boss Albert Biermann who is now head of Hyundai’s N division. In an interview with Top Gear, Biermann said that he now has more “freedom” to express his ideas and develop products that he’s imagined. Some of these ideas include continued work on Hyundai’s mid-engined hot hatch which was first introduced in four years ago named the Racing Midship (RM), which makes possible for a production model.

    In 2014, Hyundai introduced a Veloster-based 295 hp (219 kW) Racing Midship concept called the RM14. A year later, this car shed 195 kg and was dubbed the RM15. Then in 2016, the RM went through a near-complete makeover, this car featured an all-new platform and was good for 300 hp (223 kW), this was called the RM16 N.

    According to Biermann, the company has been working on further developing a mid-engine sports car and like the RM which had three versions; Hyundai’s N division has been working on these cars “trying different things.”

    The RM16 N’s spy shots have hinted at the car’s production possibility. In addition, the company has already promised to produce two new N models after the i30. Biermann says that the brand is only “just starting,” as they are still introducing performance cars to the market which may take some time. All we can do now is wait and hope for the best.

    • We waited a fair bit for the Tiguan R to arrive but that means it has been given enough thought and executed with the sort of German precision that makes us happy to have waited.

As fast SUVs go it’s a cracker, and with a price tag starting from R1,014,900 it is actually decent value in the segment.

It’s fun, aggressive when you want it to be and remarkably civilised when you don’t. Cars like this rarely make sense, but the Tiguan R is one case where that argument starts to change one's mind.

We cannot wait to drive the matching Golf next week!

    • The very first SA-spec BMW M2 snapped at BMW HQ in Midrand.

Zandvoort Blue would not be our choice but the looks have certainly grown on us. What about all of you?

    • If you’re expecting a faster, angrier and more focused version of the original 86, you’re going to be happy with this car.

Toyota finally gave the 86 more power. It’s not take-your-breath-away power, but again, it’s not made to win drag races. If you want more power, get a Supra.

Sure it is a bit more pricey this time around but it is a no-regrets kind of car that you will enjoy just as much today as 10 years from now.

Long live the manual transmission, especially when it’s packaged within something as fun as the Toyota GR86.
