The dynamic, motorsport-inspired Hyundai N Line trim has undergone a comprehensive design update for i30 Hatchback and Fastback. Now, for the first time, it is available with the new i30 Wagon as well. This means there will be an N Line version of all three i30 body types.The new i30 N Line features bold new design with an even sportier look. At the front, the new i30 N Line has a wider central grille and new headlamps. Taking inspiration from the design of aeronautic jets, the lower central grille has increased in size and dominates the bumper area, expressing its strong stance and performance. The side openings feature floating wings which improve aerodynamic performance.The completely new design of the rear bumper underlines the dynamic N Line character. The wide diffuser makes a sporty statement and a gives the rear an impressive stance, while the repositioned fog lights focus the visual centre of gravity closer to the ground.The new i30 N Line comes with a new, 17-inch or 18-inch wheel design that adds to the excitement, expressing speed even when standing still. This contributes to a modern profile, which is full of motion.In addition, the new i30 N Line Hatchback and Fastback features tuning updates for suspension and steering in combination with the 1.5 T-GDi 160 PS and 1.6 Diesel 136 PS engines for a more dynamic ride.
The Project C interior features Alcantara highlights, most noticeably around the steering wheel, handbrake and manual shift lever. Like many of the changes inside the car, the brushed aluminium billet manual shift knob – shaped like a pistonhead – combines functionality and design, fitting perfectly in the hand for the short precise shifts. Not only the brake calipers outside but also all seat belts inside feature the Deep Orange colour theme used for Project C details. The look of the completely new Sabelt bucket seats also gets Deep Orange stitching and stripes. And now in Deep Orange are the drive mode and N-mode thumb paddles on the steering wheel. A limited edition xx/600 badge on the passenger side signals the exclusiveness of this limited edition.
With the i30 N Project C, Hyundai has made no compromises in order to optimise the i30 N's high-performance credentials. The forged OZ racing wheels play a big part in vital unsprung weight reduction. The imposing 19-inch wheels alone account for 22 kgs of shed weight.Using CFRP in the bonnet (-7.2 kgs), both side sills (-499 grams each), front splitter (+240 grams of pure aerodynamic function and good looks), newly designed integrated rear diffuser (-386 grams) as well as the lighter manually operated Sabelt competition front bucket seats with CFRP backings (-7.5 kgs each), helps account for the lost weight. The Sabelt seats also provide the driver and front passenger with perfect lateral and shoulder support in an enhanced seating position geared toward performance driving. The i30 N Project C is 6 mm closer to the road – with centre of gravity height effectively 8.8 mm lower – thanks to new internal calibrations for the existing i30 N dampers and new shorter higher-stiffness suspension springs. The rear wheel hangers – or ‘knuckles’ – at the hubs together remove a surprising 4.66 kgs as here they are made from aluminium not steel. Project C also has the rear cargo zone stiffness bar of the i30 N’s Performance Package for greater overall balance at higher speeds and particularly during aggressive weight transfers in curves.
Jaguar returned to electrify the iconic Monte Carlo rally stage, 63 years after winning in 1956. Panasonic Jaguar Racing driver, Mitch Evans, took to the hills of Southern France ahead of this Saturday’s ABB FIA Formula E-Prix in Monaco, France. Older brother Simon Evans was piloting a racing version of Jaguar's first all-electric road car, the Jaguar I-PACE, recently crowned World Car of the Year. Simon competes in the Jaguar I-PACE eTROPHY, the official support series of the ABB FIA Formula E championship.

After successfully launching the new N Line, Hyundai Motor is introducing the second model with the sporty trim level: the Hyundai i30 Fastback N Line. The trim enhances Hyundai's i30 models with dynamic design features and tuned driving characteristics. The N Line trim features exterior and interior design elements carried over from N, Hyundai's high-performance range, crowned by refined chassis and suspension settings to achieve a more sporty driving feeling for the 1.4-litre T-GDI engine.The upgraded exterior design of the Hyundai i30 Fastback N Line derives from the All-New i30 Fastback N, presented at the 2018 Paris Motor Show. It includes a front bumper exclusively accented with a silver character line and Hyundai's signature Cascading Grille with mesh pattern. Black bezels frame the head lamps. To emphasise the car's sporty appearance at the rear, the N Line trim features the sporty rear bumper carried over from the Hyundai i30 Fastback N with a red reflector line, a triangular fog lamp and a special rear diffuser. The N Line badge is positioned on the front fenders. In the interior, customers benefit from N-branded sport seats and a sport steering wheel. Metal pedals and the N gear shift knob are also part of the N Line enhancements.
