Tuned, 320PS Hyundai i30 N Performance Wants To Mix It With Type Rs And Golf Rs

With a little help from a small tuning company called RaceChip, the Hyundai i30 N Performance has received a big power bump that has made it more powerful than the latest Volkswagen Golf R.

The i30 N benefits from an ECU upgrade, which brings an extra 38 PS (37 hp / 28 kW) and 145Nm (107 lb-ft) of torque over the stock 275 PS (271 hp / 202 kW) and 353 Nm (260 lb-ft) of torque of the Performance version.

And that’s not all, because with the addition of the downpipe from HJS, RaceChip says their Hyundai i30 N Performance adds not just an angrier soundtrack, but also a little more oomph, for a total 320 PS (315 hp / 235 kW) and 524 Nm (386 lb-ft) of torque.

We presume the 0 to 100 km/h (0-62 mph) acceleration drops in the mid-5 seconds, given that the stock i30 N Performance can sprint to 100 km/h (62 mph) in 6.1 seconds.

The power increase isn’t the only upgrade this i30 N has, as RaceChip has also added an anti-roll kit from Eibach and new springs that drop the ride height by 15 mm (0.6 in).

It also sports a set of OZ Leggera HLT rims, wrapped in Michelin Pilot Sport 4S tires, and before taking it out for a photo shoot and a short drive, the tuner turned to Schwabenfolia where it received a rather subtle body wrap.

In order to promote its work, RaceChip has released a couple of videos about their tuned i30N, which you can view right after the break.
