Construction uses carbon-fiber and aramid, with RSR-derived suspension, a longer wheelbase for stability, AP Racing brakes and a modernized cockpit focused on competition.
• Hyundai Elantra N TC ’24 – Developed to meet international touring car regulations, building on the road car’s 2.0-liter turbo unit rated at 276 BHP and 40.0 kgfm (0-62 mph in 5.3 seconds for the production model).

The chassis features carbon-fiber body panels, cell-to-body construction and gigacasting for rigidity and low weight.
