Hyundai i30 N Fastback features and performance

The good news: Hyundai just unveiled its nifty new high-performance i30 N Fastback in Europe. The bad news: The car won’t be available in the United States anytime soon.

The i30 N Fastback will come with a 2.0-liter turbocharged four-cylinder engine that makes 246 horsepower and 260 lb-ft of torque. Buyers who opt for the Performance package can see those numbers jump up to 271 horsepower and an overboosted 279 lb-ft of torque.

In its 246 horsepower version, the i30 N Fastback should go from 0 to 62 mph in 6.4 seconds. With 271 horsepower, it should accelerate to the same speed in 6.1 seconds.

The i30 N Fastback will feature an N Grin Control system that gives drivers a choice of five driving modes: Eco, Normal, Sport, N, and N Custom.
