- Hyundai is developing a mid-engine sports car that we expect to arrive in the next two to three years.
- A turbocharged inline-four engine will likely produce well over 300 horsepower.
- The car is poised to be the most affordable way to buy a new mid-engine sports car when it arrives in two to three years.
When it arrives in two or three years, expect the Hyundai to bring mid-engine dynamics to a new level of affordability. That's the hope, at least. As we understand it, the decision makers in South Korea are still weighing whether their car should be a $40,000 Hyundai or a $70,000 Genesis. In our minds, there's no question. It's too soon for Genesis to challenge Corvettes and Porsches, but Hyundai's N performance subbrand will be hamstrung as long as it's limited to modifying economy cars, family sedans, and crossovers. A proper sports car will validate both N and Hyundai.
