[1] The Elantra N TCR was unveiled by Hyundai Motorsport in September 2020, before which it took part in an intensive test program for three months.
It has the same six-speed transmission with shift paddles as the previous two Hyundai TCR models and was officially unveiled at Auto China.

To create the best competitive package, they were able to leverage the experience of more than two years of racing customers of the i30 N TCR and Veloster N TCR, while taking advantage of opportunities to upgrade their existing car wherever possible.
