Hyundai To Showcase N Branded Performance Division At Frankfurt Auto Show

Hyundai Motor Co. is trying to burnish its performance credentials and will unveil an “ultimate concept car” at next month’s Frankfurt auto show that expands on the company’s sporty N subbrand and showcases racing design.

Dubbed the Hyundai N 2025 Vision Gran Turismo, the concept vehicle will exhibit new technologies that foreshadow future possibilities for Hyundai’s N lineup, the company said.

The concept is a tie-in to Sony PlayStation’s Gran Turismo video game series. A digital version of the N 2025 Vision Gran Turismo will be added to the game and available for players.

Hyundai spokeswoman Angela Hwang said details on the actual concept car will be released later. The vehicle is a pure concept, not a preview of an eventual production car, she said.

Teaser photos of the car depicts a low-slung, Le Mans-style racer with a domed center-positioned driver’s cockpit.

'N' because it sounds and looks like 'M'?
