最近谍照记者拍到了现代i30NFastback在纽伯格林测试的照片。该车是现代i30N的性能升级版，车身增加了一些运动元素。由于车身去掉了一些伪装，因此不难想象未来量产版的模样。该车的开发模式非常清楚，就是在i30N基础上的性能升级版，同时增加外观运动元素。传统的掀背车尾被向下倾斜的车顶所替代，车尾集成了扰流器，就像i30Fastback标准版一样。后保险杠也进行了伪装，其造型与i30系列其他车型略有不同，这也是该车外观最明显改变。至于新车动力系统，或许会与i30N掀背车共享引擎。这意味着那台2.0升四缸涡轮引擎在标准版上184千瓦/247马力的功率将提升至202千瓦/271马力。与引擎搭配的是前轮驱动，六速手动变速箱和电动前差速器（为获得更好牵引力）。明年该车将提供双离合器自动变速器。预计i30NFastback很可能会在秋季的巴黎车展正式发布。

 

Hyundai i30 N Fastback Looks Stylish And Sporty At The Ring

Hyundai is catching up quickly with its competitors in the performance segment – the South Korean manufacturer may not have a rich hot hatch heritage like Ford and Volkswagen, but it is investing millions in its new N performance division. The first product of the sub-brand was the i30 N hatch, which will be followed by a sporty i30 N-Line and another full-blow performance vehicle, the i30 N Fastback. We’ve received two batches of new spy photos with the latter, caught testing at high speed on the Nurburgring.

 

While the attached shots give us a nice preview of the future production vehicle, which is finally losing some disguise, it’s actually not really difficult to imagine what the final version will look like. The formula is crystal clear – combine the stylish shapes of the i30 Fastback with the performance upgrades of the i30 N and add the sporty design tweaks of the i30 N-Line. The traditional hatchback rear end will be replaced by a slopping roofline which flows down into a neat integrated spoiler, just like on the standard i30 Fastback. The rear bumper is covered with a camouflage with a slightly different pattern than on the rest of the car, which suggests it will get the most visual changes.

 

As far as the engine under the hood is concerned, it would be probably safe to assume the i30 N Fastback will share its motor with the i30 N hatch. This means a 2.0-liter turbocharged four-cylinder units with 247 horsepower (184 kilowatts) in standard guise and 271 hp (202 kW) if you opt for the Performance Pack. The power is channeled to the front wheels through a six-speed manual gearbox and an electronically controlled front differential for better traction. A dual-clutch automatic will be introduced next year.

 

We expect to see the i30 N Fastback officially before the year’s end, most likely during the Paris Motor Show this fall.
